Training with the best

Here is a video of Krista Ruby working through a hard interval. This little lady knows how to push her self and can really focus when she needs to.

Nothing better than working with someone who knows what they want and will do whatever it takes to get it. The question is do you know what it takes? Do you know what your strengths are? What you should be focusing on? are you making progress? Getting a second opinion is great for starting you off in the right direction, getting the right coach will keep you on track to that final destination.

Mr Smith

Here is Jamie Smith pumpin out the watts to the 2006 Paris-Roubaix. The two of us put in quite the day, nothing like training indoors while everyone else was outside enjoying the great weather on Sunday.

I'm proud to say Jamie will be my team mate in 2010 as he has just joined LaBicicletta/JLindeberg cycling team. Stay tuned to www.labicisquadra.blogspot.com for a formal team announcement coming soon

TT Training

Just because you mainly do time trials or just triathlons doesn't mean you shouldn't work on your high end. Pushing yourself beyond your threshold is the key to improvement. Go outside you comfort zone in training and work on your weaknesses. Is it focus? It is extremely hard to stay focused when your suffering. Why go through the pain if you don't have to? If your not wanting to quit during your training your just not going hard enough!! and if you do quit before

the end of your interval your just training your self to quit on race day.

Here is Scott giving it every thing he has. I took a video of this as well but it was just to big to post. Scott is screaming in pain as he finishes his interval with a seated sprint. Here is a triathlete that is sprinting the finish??? what?? that's unheard of......you have to run afterwards. Well here he is at his max suffering and then finishing up with an all out sprint. Do you think he wants to get faster?

Monday Night Sprints

Here is a video of me and my buddy Kevin Barington training in the basement tonight. Kevin is going for his max wattage here and does this little burst 4 times in a 15 min span. He got over 800 watts on every one and maxed out at 865! Not bad for his first crack at this drill. I love watching someone else suffer!

Kev is riding the Cyclops PT 300. This trainer is great for these kind of workouts because it so stable and beefy, you can't break this machine! Here he goes again

Happy Halloween!

Spider man popped by for a little workout last night and man can this guy go!!You would think those arms would be holding him back on a bike but dude can sure push a big gear!! Happy Halloween everyone!

Strength and Power

Scott here is an incredible athlete but even the cream of the crop have to work on their game a bit. We are going to transform his highly tuned 6 cylinder engine into a bruising V8! Scott has started a program where I have him working on his strength and power. He will be working on locking into a big gear and getting used to what his legs feel like pushing 300watts at a 70 cadence. Scott is up for the task and we are going to chart his progress along the way.

Tim Dayfoot

Tim and I have trained outdoors together but this was his first indoor workout with me. What a way different experience it is when someone is standing over you watching your every move. It's way easier for me to gauge someones effort when I staring right at them instead of riding beside them. Tim rode hard for me but we both know he has a whole lot more!!
