Fall Team Training

Most indoor programs are 60 minutes.  Factor 9 sessions are 90 minutes which allows more time to improve your fitness and do it safely.  The extra time gives us ample time to warm-up, cool-down and even time to add in the ever-so-important core training and stretching.  We gradually work up to a solid 90 minutes of riding.  They are coached programs based in Penticton and are suitable for veteran athletes, beginners and up and coming youth athletes.  The sessions are focused on improving cycling performance so that cyclists, as well as, triathletes can benefit.

5 SESSION DROP-IN PASS NOW AVAILABLE for $70 + tax (come to any five sessions this fall)

10 Week Off-Season Training Program

October 11 to December 17

The goal is to build base fitness and work on sport specific strength.  But, don't be fooled, these are challenging workouts.  They improve your durability and raise your endurance and steady zone efficiency (seen by a drop in HR for a set amount of power in those zones).  You also minimize your risk and severity of injury.  

By improving your base fitness, you set yourself up to improve tremendously with hard intervals in the pre-season (January).  And, ultimately improve your racing performance next year with race specific training during the in-season.  

The fall is particularly important for beginners to start training with us since the relative stress of the training is lower this time of year.  Thus, we can progress at a more gradual rate.  Getting fit and fast requires clever training but also time.  Don't wait for spring to whip yourself into shape.  

We also do personal coaching online and for local Penticton triathletes.  It is the same service, except if you are in Penticton, you have the option of joining any of our team workouts for no extra fee.  There are not many coaching services that offer that high level of value.

These are the same workouts that have led many Factor 9 athletes to wins in their age group in big events like Ironman Canada and allowed them to qualify for the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii.  Perfect to challenge beginners, as well as, the most experienced athletes.
