Using Your Power Data to Plan the Perfect 2013 Season for Athletes and Coaches
Join Hunter Allen and Peaks Coaching Group for this exciting fall training cycling camp in beautiful Solvang, California. This cycling camp is designed to teach coaches and athletes how to use their power data to plan the perfect 2013 season. Hunter and his team will teach you how to identify your strengths and weaknesses, how to develop a periodization plan and improve results of each phase of your training. Each athlete will go through an in depth analysis in an effort to better understand their baseline abilities and then use this information, along with their power data to improve their training plan for 2012.
During this five day cycling camp you will experience Solvang, a European-style town known for Danish heritage and charm. The rolling hills of the Santa Ynez Valley are a huge draw for cyclists and Solvang has participated as a staging site in the Tour de California for three years running. Professional teams and casual cyclists alike visit Solvang for an exhilarating and scenic biking experience.
