Knowledge Builder/Fitness Workshop #1 from June 3-5


Team,

I hope this finds you all well. After a little more deliberation and planning than we saw coming, we're finally up and running here at Performance to get your dryland program up and running in full force.

We're going to lay the foundation for your training season during the first weekend of June, with the 3 sessions falling on Friday June 3, Saturday June 4, and Sunday June 5. Friday's session will be from 4 to 6 PM, with the weekend sessions being from 10 AM to 12 noon. All three sessions will be held at your Performance Training Center in Truckee.

Over the course of the three sessions we'll be focusing on building nutrition/hydration knowledge, developing a comfort level with the foundation movements of your training program, and learning the protocols we'll be using to build up your
 aerobic bases and core strength over the course of the training season.

We'll be putting most of the time over the first 2 days of the workshop toward learning the movements, protocols, and exercise modifications necessary to complete the first 4 weeks of your dryland program, culminating with full-speed/full-intensity workouts on Saturday and Sunday. Come ready to learn, but be prepared to train hard on Saturday and Sunday - bring a water bottle, gym attire, and a desire to work hard.

The workshop details:

Friday June 3 from 4-6 PM
Saturday June 4 from 10 AM - 12 PM
Sunday June 5 from 10 AM - 12 PM

6 hours total training time

Program Cost: $190 per athlete (about $30/hr of training - 30% off the standard group training rate at Performance)

Lastly, all SVST athletes taking part in this training workshop (or any other workshop/group training session here at Performance) will have to be active members of the training center. In an effort to make this a viable option for all of you, Julia has extended a special SVST athlete membership special of just $20 per month with a 12-month EFT agreement. This is almost 70% off of our standard Gold Membership package, and includes full access to the facility and all group exercise offerings. Should you live out of the area in the summer but still want to attend the workshops to enable you to follow the program elsewhere, we offer the option to freeze your membership while you travel for a nominal fee. We're excited to be able to offer all of you this deal, and sincerely hope to have all of you training at Performance throughout your training and competition seasons.


This workshop will serve as the hands-on component to the first 4 weeks of your training program, with the workout evolutions being hosted here on the SVST Dryland blog. 

Make coming to this 3 day workshop a priority - the stuff that we're covering is going to be the foundation of your training season and provide you with the base to launch your best competitive season yet this upcoming winter.

Facebook Networking

In addition to this blog, I've created a Facebook group site to help all of us keep in touch and network during the training season. Both the Facebook group and this blog will serve as great platforms to get in touch with your fellow athletes to set up group training schedules, to get in touch with me to set up sessions or ask questions, and to access all of the resources that myself and the rest of your coaching team will be providing for you. You will be invited to join the Facebook group, and thereafter you can access the page HERE. Please let me know if you haven't received an invite from me 
by emailing me at chris@takeyourbike.org.

See you all at the gym!
