Today we are excited to announce the availability of 82 new workout libraries targeted to the indoor cycling crowd with a CompuTrainer(tm) or VeloTron.  Each of the 82 new libraries have been specifically designed for cyclists with a functional threshold power between 100 and 500 watts and are available in 5W increments.  Created by Association of British Cycling Coaches (ABCC) certified coach Quentin Field-Boden of VeloTraining, each library contains 32 exercises with an .erg file that has been scaled exactly for your FTP.

These libraries can be purchased for $US 49.95 by self-coached users or by coaches that would like to re-use them with their clients and in their own coaching.

The libraries are available immediately for purchase in the TrainingPeaks Exercise Library store. Simply login, click on the “plans, Pods & Store” section on the left, then click “Store”, then “Exercise Libraries” as shown below.

After purchasing a library, it will be available in your Training library within TrainingPeaks.

To use the workouts, simply drag them onto the calendar, then download the attached .erg file and use it with your CompuTrainer for your workout. After the workout, upload your data to TrainingPeaks.com or WKO+.

Quentin is available for questions by email at qfieldboden@gmail.com and you can learn more about his libraries by downloading a short descriptive .pdf by clicking here.

1:36pm November 19th, 2009WKO+ Webinar from TrainingBible Coach Jim Vance: Monday, November 30th at 7:30pm EST

TrainingBible Coach Jim Vance will be giving a webinar on how both coaches and athletes can use TrainingPeaks WKO+ desktop software to make better, more informed training decisions. Mark your calendars now for the Monday after Thanksgiving, November 30th, at 7:30pm EST, and get ready to learn how to make next season your best year yet!

Explaining more about what he will cover, Jim says, “This webinar will be covering how to track fitness patterns and prevent performance plateaus in WKO+ software, using advanced charts and graphs. Many coaches utilize WKO+ software to assess an individual session, but miss the opportunities to track overall fitness, recognize performance plateaus sooner, and make training decisions based on all the data available in a bigger picture, encompassing all sessions.”

“The webinar will show how to create alternative charts, enhance the data given in the Performance Management Chart (PMC), and how to interpret these to make better training decisions. If you are a coach or self-coached athlete, this session will help you to better understand how you or your athletes are adapting to training stresses.”
