Workshops

Coach Ryan Kohler demonstrates ways to train maximal force production, or torque, on the bike.

Coach Ryan Kohler reviews season-to-season changes in heart rate/power distributions to illustrate improvements across the different energy systems.

Training inside is hot! Here are some facts and tips on beating the heat indoors.

The execution of long slow distance rides might sound simple, but many people struggle to get it right. Can you be too steady on your LSD rides?

Cardiovascular drift is an instability in heart rate and stroke volume over time. We show you how to determine it.

Dr. Stephen Cheung discusses a study comparing steady-state versus fast-start intervals, then uses Xert software to model how a fast-start interval can be much more intense.

The variable terrain of most MTB trails makes it difficult to keep power steady. So, is it possible to get solid base rides on the mountain bike?

Dr. Stephen Seiler explores whether a Zwift race of about 60 minutes can be a decent substitute for a 60-minute FTP test.

In this workshop, Dr. Stephen Cheung uses Xert software to illustrate how a single workout can impact athletes differently depending on their phenotype.

Coaches Trevor Connor and Ryan Kohler analyze data from longer threshold efforts to support results garnered from the popular 20-minute power test.

Dr. Seiler shares his method for monitoring an athlete’s training volume and intensity.

Coach Ryan Kohler and Coach Trevor Connor dissect training data to help you understand how to look for signs of freshness before any interval session.

Dr. Cheung discusses new research that explores the relationship between muscle fiber-type density, high-intensity training, and an athlete’s risk for overtraining.

Dr. Stephen Seiler delves into over a century of research to explore why rowing has gotten faster so consistently.

Coaches Trevor Connor and Ryan Kohler analyze data from 20-minute power tests, offering important lessons on the proper execution of these intervals.

Dr. Stephen Seiler presents the reasons, methods, and benefits of moving from a polarized training template to a more personalized, optimized training method that is still based on polarized training.

Breathing cold, dry air while training outdoors can feel painful, but does it hamper your performance? Dr. Stephen Cheung explores.

Cold temperatures can have a big impact on our physiology. We detail the performance effects of cold temps, and learn how to combat them.
