Just a reminder to please populate my CX plan, all the days have passed, and I got no workouts. Thanks!

Thanks, Tim! Looking forward to both this one week and the meet on Thursday.

just because it's been a little while since anyone posted a screenshot... last year I would two of these for 8 minutes each and call it a day.

still hurts to the point of tears but at least I can do four for 10 minutes each. #microburts pain.

Post questions.

Team,

All plans posted.  If things look odd, watch the video!

Today's "Wind up and run" workout in the CX plan was creative. Got to practice starts, high speed dismounts and sprinting while carrying the bike ... All in addition to the main workout goals. 

Not sure how others managed, but I found the dismount from speed to go smoother with a step through dismount. The workout calls for getting up to 90rpm in a big gear which meant plenty of speed before sprinting into a run. 

Tim, speaking of gearing, You specified 53x13 for a CX bike. I went with a 46x11 as it is about the same gear inches. I guess someone on a 1x setup would probably want to do this on a slight incline, right? Also, the workout didn't specify rest between intervals. I went with 1-2 min. Is that what you had in mind?

I was 42x14/15 or so... in grass, and yeah, it was creative, and omg stupid hard.

I would envision the sand pits at Charm City.

A question, Patrick, how did you count the 20 seconds of run, I just kinda eyeball it, but might use a workout on my garmin next time.

One thing about cx workouts. Estimating ok.

I just counted strides and estimated 20 sec. In the past, when I have had to do CX intervals (when it wasn't practical to look at a Garmin), I have used an iPhone app called Seconds Pro.

For example with this app I created a timer that would give me a loud tone for each portion of a 30/30/30 interval workout. As an added bonus I can plug in the number of sets or intervals because I usually lose count of intervals when I am in my pain cave. Hard to count when my vision gets blurry 

Awesome, thanks.

I used that app last year.

For the 30/30/30 and microbursts 15 secs on/off -- I set up workouts in the Garmin, which then beeps at the right time.

So I'd like to enroll in the program for the next phase into next season. When is the the next period to register?

I'd also like to enroll in peaks. Look forward to next steps.

I'd also like to get things set up for a training plan. Starting from prep plan at 4/5 level. Is there a new enrollment form being put together or do we just email kissena@peakscoachinggroup.com ?

Here it is folks, the LAST SESSION OF PEAKS COACHING FOR 2015!

Get it while it's hot!

Three months at the low low price of $50. Finish out your CX season like a boss and start 2016 stronger than ever.

Hey @TimCusick -- I'm ready to have the cx training plan loaded on for my account. I'm racing cx this weekend, but would likely take the rest week next week. 

I signed up for the remainder of the year. Are we receiving anything or will it come in October when the strength training starts? I'm not set up on the premium TP account yet but also don't know if that comes later. 

I'm still waiting on having the CX program loaded as well.

you guys should be getting something shortly; I sent the updated list over a day or so ago

Adam,

We will get it loaded in the morning, sorry for delay, thought we did load you.

Awesome -- thanks, Jules!

Team,

I just want to make sure I have it correct.  At this stage, those member that are signed up have it .  IF you are new, please watch the last webinar as we are current in a break period.  I am planning to kick off the 2016 season with an OCT 5th for those doing the road training for 2016.  The October plan will be a transition month featuring cross training workouts and functional strength building with full cycling training beginning in Nov (watch the last webinar, explains it).

For those doing CX taht DO NOT HAVE A PLAN YET, please email brandi@peakscoachinggroup.com and confirm you want the CX plan.  She will load the September plan immediately to your account.  I am updated the CX plans early next week for October for those in the program. (Adam, you are being updated now).

Hopefully this is clear,. please post any questions
