Quality Trainer Workouts

For many athletes, until the time changes and the weather changes, they are limited to doing 75% of their cycling indoors on the trainer. For many multi-sport athletes, they will find that just getting on the trainer in itself will improve their base and therefore improve their fitness and speed.

However, after a few weeks of purely pedaling on the trainer, it will be beneficial to incorporate specific trainer workouts into the athlete's schedule. This may consist of doing trainer specific drills that focus on improving form and improving efficiency. Or, this may consist of doing specific intervals that focus on building the athlete's threshold or improving speed.

Check out this article that details some trainer workouts for the build phase. Feel free to email Jamie with any questions or comments at coach@triyourbest.com.
