So what could Apex Coaching (who coaches numerous professional and Olympic be more glorious than going for a ride cyclists and triathletes). The workout is a race simulation designed with other Sufferlandrians? It’s a guarantee for criterium, cyclocross and short races. The key focus of the workout is to develop both power and speed for a sustained period of hard, fast, exciting riding full of plenty while enhancing recovery. of Suffering.your way out. • Replicating courses with several short, steep climbs, this workout So, the Sufferlandrian Government has has several sections where cadence drops down to 60-75 RPM to decided to make you extremely happy build strength and power. You’ll want to get your riders ready for those so they can adjust their resistance accordingly. During these by lining you up for a race full of sections, make sure your riders focus on stability and avoid rocking Sufferlandrians. After a solid warm-up, you’ll or lifting themselves out of the saddle. take on a thirteen-and-a-half minute race in which you have to cover attacks, get up steep climbs, watch out for other riders who want to break away from you and, then, still have enough in the tank for a massive sprint for the win. © The Sufferfest 2017 The Best Thing in the World (Short version) - Instructor Notes 6 THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD (SHORT VERSION) Section Elapsed Time Duration RPE RPM Instructor Cues As your riders get settled in for an epic workout, scan the Start 0:00:00 1m 45s 2 90 room to ensure they’reall well set-up on their bikes. Everyone should be in a nice easy gear, rolling their legs 0:01:45 35s 2 90 over at around 90 RPM. Warm Up 0:02:20 1m 22s 2 90 Don’t let anybody start out too hard – it will compromise their ability to hit the right intensity levels later. With that in mind, we’ll be doing a nice long warm-up today. We need to get those legs and lungs ready for two huge race efforts! So Happy 0:03:42 2m 18s 3 90 As your riders take it up just slightly, the workout will appear on screen. Today they’ll be taking on 2 × 13.5 minute race simulations, with a 3 minute recovery in between. Like any bike race, these races will be highly unpredictable – expect lots of attacks and surges! As the Sufferscale appears on screen, take the time to explain “RPE” to your riders. They’ll be spending a lot of time above threshold (7.5) in today’s workout. A Little More 0:06:00 1m 15s 4 90 Up another notch – still a very easy effort, just a bit more resistance as we get a bit more heat into the legs. Getting 0:07:15 1m 10s 5 95 A bit more – slight increase in cadence. We’ll keep this Faster pace for about a minute, before having our first real test of the legs. As the countdown clock ticks down to zero, have your riders dial up the resistance so they’re ready to… …ATTACK! Nice low position – strong, solid core and Attack! 0:08:25 1m 20s 7 90 smooth pedal strokes. Don’t go too overboard just yet – this effort is just below threshold, and will last for around 80 seconds. Bah! 0:09:45 42s 5 90 Admonish your riders for getting caught! They’ve got a minute to pull themselves together before we make another move… Go Again! 0:10:27 59s 8 100 This time we’ll go a bit harder, taking the effort to just above threshold – this is a very hard effort and our first real taste of Suffering – so make it count! Really focus on maintaining great form over the next minute. Nice fast legs. Sit In 0:11:26 1m 5 90 Take it easy for the next minute, before we make another bold move – during these recovery segments, focus on nice deep breaths. Keep the legs moving at a good cadence but back the gearing off. It’s not total recovery, but a chance to back things off so you’re ready for the next effort. As the countdown clock ticks towards zero, increase gearing in preparation for the first climb (and low cadence section) of the day and let them know they’ll need to stand up. Climb – 0:12:26 1m 8 70 We’ll be climbing for the next minute, and standing for the Get Up! first 25 seconds. Keep the core nice and strong, and relax those arms and shoulders. Get the riders to zero in on how this effort feels, reminding them of the RPE scale so that they can better judge their efforts during the race simulation. Watch riders as they go back into a seated position – if you see any who are throwing themselves down, approach them and remind them to try and sit down in a controlled, stable manner in order to maintain form and power efficiency. Descent 0:13:26 32s 90 Make sure the riders get their cadence right back up to 90 4 RPM to avoid getting bogged down during their recovery. Now the real work begins. Enjoy this final 30 seconds of recovery before the first of our two race simulations! Sufferlandrian 0:13:58 32s 6 90 Race simulation 1: 13.5 minutes. Be prepared for anything! Race 1 Pay close attention to the screen for instructions, and get ready to Suffer! Off Road? 0:14:30 13s 5 60 Don’t be fooled – this is just a very short breather… start to increase resistance as we prepare for our first MAX effort of the day! Goooooo! 0:14:43 10s 10 110 HUGE (STANDING) SPRINT to catch up after losing your position!! Big gear, fast legs, push push push!! Steady Chase 0:14:53 21s 6 90 Ease back down to a tempo effort – don’t let your riders take it easy here – they should still be working hard as they try to recover from that big effort. Cue your riders well in advance that another climb is coming up so they can adjust resistance accordingly. Bridge on the 0:15:14 16s 80 Your riders will just about, but not completely, have 9 Climb recovered so we’re going to challenge them again with a massive, low-cadence effort. Keep those legs turning in strong, smooth circles – not just stomping down on the pedals. Steady Chase 0:15:30 26s 6 90 Good work. Back to that tempo effort before our next big move. Go for it! Almost flat out here over the cobblestones. We’ll You! Attack! 0:15:56 51s 9 100 hold this 9/10 effort for nearly a minute – SUFFER!!! Draft 0:16:47 16s 8 90 Ease off just slightly – we’re still above threshold. Keep up Them the hard work! You may see a little despair on the faces of your riders at this point so keep encouraging them to hold onto the other riders and get over the climb without getting dropped. Now’s your chance for some recovery – we’ll spend just Nice Work 0:17:03 1m 7s 5 90 over a minute regaining composure. Remind your riders that this is not *easy,* however – they still need to be working and trying to recover at the same time.

  • Tour De France
    Tour de France The Tour de France is the world’s most famous, and arguably the hardest, cycling race. It takes place every year and lasts for a total of three weeks, covering almost 3,500km. History of the Race During the late 19th century, cycling became a popular hobby for many people. As time went on, organised bike races were introduced and professional cycling became very popular in France. On 6th July 1903, 60 cyclists set off on a race and covered 2,428km in a circular route over six stages. 18 days after setting off, 21 of the original 60 cyclists made it back to the finish line in Paris. The winner was Maurice Garin and the Tour de France was born. Except for war time, the race has taken place every year since then and has become more challenging with the addition of mountain climbs and longer distances. The Modern Tour de France Each year, the tour begins in a different country. The route changes annually too, though usually finishes on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. In 2019, the race starts in Brussels, Belgium on the 6th July and ends in Paris on the 28th July after 21 stages totalling a distance of 3,460km. There are 22 teams taking part in the Tour de France, each with eight riders. The reigning champion is Welsh cyclist Geraint Thomas.

  • Ganna Shines in the Tour of Flanders, Kristoff 16Th
    WEEKLY MAGAZINE FOR DEALERS #92 - 3 APRIL 2018 Ganna shines in the Tour of Flanders, Kristoff 16th The young individual pursuit world champion Filippo Ganna is again a player in the northern classics. After Ghent-Wevelgem last week, today he attacked for another 140 kilometres with five others in the Tour of Flanders. “It was great,” Ganna explained. “On the climbs, the fans were yelling so much that I couldn’t even hear myself. The DS every now and then, spoke and I told him to say it again, I couldn’t hear because of the fans. “I like that I’m doing well from the start in these races, but I need to still learn now to race here in the North. Every bit of energy you save, counts. I can’t even think of Roubaix now, I’m too tired.” Niki Terpstra (Quick-Step Floors) won the race solo with 12 seconds over Dane Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) and 17 seconds over his team-mate Philippe Gilbert. Former winner Alexander Kristoff finished 16th. “In this moment, maybe the Kwaremont is too hard for me,” Kristoff said. “Just missed a little bit. It was smart solution to anticipate the climb, and the best moment was when Terpstra attacked.” Mirza wins the UAE time trial championship One week after having obtained the UAE title in the road race, Yousif Mirza won also the Emirati time trial cham- pionship. Riding his K.one Colnago bike on a 33,5 km course, he preceded in the final standing Marwi (+17″) and Mansoori (+1’35”), adding another victory to the precious ones alrea- dy obtained in the early parto of the season: the road race Asian title, the Asian continental championship on track in the points race and the road race UAE title.
