Sprinting and Speed – Cycling Training for Performance

Training Session 2 – Day 1

Speed training is used to develop quickness and explosive power. It involves short, intense periods of cycling, from about five to 30 seconds in duration with long recovery periods.

• Improve your reaction time and efficiency
• Train your body to recruit the necessary muscles
• Learn a sense of relaxation at a faster pace
• Add variety to your workouts

Bring a team or find one on the spot for sprints, lead-outs and speed specific training. You’ll get a great workout and learn techniques to improve your sprints and top-end speed. Don’t be intimidated if you’ve never participated in an organized sprint practice, we’ll work through it together. Training your max speed has significant carry-over to all other aspects of your riding. Better yet, bring along that riding partner that you’ve always wanted to test head-to-head.
