Winter Programs

Factor 9 Indoor Cycling at the Penticton Adidas Sportsplex

All of our indoor training sessions are 90 minutes.  Come January, we work on pre-season training.  The focus of these sessions to improve your speed and power.  These are coached programs based in Penticton and are suitable for veteran athletes, beginners and upcoming youth athletes.  The sessions are focused on improving cycling performance so that cyclists, as well as, triathletes can benefit.

We have multiple membership options.  Please see the specific program details below.

 

 

10 Week Pre-Season Training Program

January 3 to March 10 (2012)

The aim of our pre-season training is to improve your performance now and to get you race-ready come spring time. Tuesday night sessions are speed sessions.  They are hard intervals and time trials.  We start relatively easy in January and push harder as the weeks go by.  Saturday sessions are generally steady (aerobic) sessions with a muscular endurance focus.  Both sessions are 90 minutes on the bike.  We recommend that you augment these hard sessions with one to three easy rides during the week.

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.  Don't be scared away, our coaches will also cater to beginners and make sure they follow a sensible progression that they are comfortable with.
