Video: APJunior Development Cycling Team - a start line for youth bike racing

From All Things Bike: https://www.facebook.com/allthingsbike/videos/321069338708841 We kicked off our fourth season with a great talk with Bill Shattuck, Bart Lipinski, Lizzy Gunsalus and Mark Gunsalus of the AP Junior Development Cycling Team, a Massachusetts program that over the years has introduced boys and girls to cyclocross, mountain and road racing and helped them reach and exceed their potential as cyclists and people. Bill, Bart and Mark are cornerstone figures of the New England cycling community and Lizzy is the Future of New England Cycling and evidence of the program's success. Bill describes the history, routines and long term goals; Bart describes the riders, the parents and the rewards; Lizzy describes the training, the racing and how cycling has helped her mature; and Mark describes the mentoring, the support and the team camaraderie. A great insight into a long established and newly re-vitalized program (renamed in memory of New England Cycling

Eat up, it’s the Holidays…Strategies to Maintain Your Weight Year Round

By James Schaefer - Peaks Coaching Group Happy Holidays! To me it appears that retailers have now completely overlooked Thanksgiving as a holiday. As soon as we hit September the Halloween accessories hit the market, then November 1st its all about Christmas. For me, Thanksgiving is the holiday I most look forward to. You don’t have the pressure to be in “the Christmas spirit”, you don’t have to find that perfect gift and go from house to house to house doing it all over again. No, I am not Mr. Grinch; I just like Thanksgiving and yes, the food. And food is my motivation to write today. My email inbox is full of blog posts with advice of how to cope with the temptations of this holiday season. Practice moderation, add this healthy substitute, and all sorts of “don’t do this.” It’s the holidays!!! Eat up and enjoy. My motto for this time of year has always been: It’s not

Pre And Post Ride Stretching

At Peaks Coaching Group we get asked all the time: “What’s the best stretches/exercises for me to do prior and post-ride?” Coach Rick Shultz discussed this with his daughter and we came up with a set of stretches that will help warm up the psoas (hip flexors), hamstrings, glutes, lower back, calves and quads. But remember, when your muscles are cold, don’t over-do the stretching. Sometimes it’s better to do an active warm up like walking or jogging around the block first. Here is a series of stretches that every cyclist should do before and after each ride. BRIDGES START FINISH SINGLE LEG PULL TO CHEST OPTION 1 – LIGHT STRETCH OPTION 2 – DEEP STRETCH PIRIFORMIS STRETCH #1 #2 ADDUCTOR STRETCH OPTION 1 (PUSH) OPTION 2 (PUSH) HAMSTRING STRETCH START FINISH LOWER BACK STRETCH START FINISH

How Training Has Changed Through The Decades - Bicycling Magazine

Sports psychology, expert coaches, scientists, physiological testing, nutrition, and the means to quantify training effort and dose: each of these factors has played a part in changing the way cyclists train. But how much has training really improved? One thing that has always worked and which remains just as important today is ‘putting the miles in’. Riding plenty of miles was the guiding principle during the Forties, and it’s still recommended today. Setting aside the controversies surrounding his time as technical director of British Cycling, Shane Sutton knows about training, and he has a universal piece of advice: “Train for 16 hours a week, every week. It doesn’t matter how you do those 16 hours, but you will get better.” Is it really that simple? >>> How they used to train: Eddy Merckx’s pre-1969 Tour de France week High mileage remains a hallmark of elite cyclists’ training. What makes it so effective?
