Join us for an early season training clinic and outdoor coached group rides with Mike Schultz of Highland Training and Matt Tinkey, certified athletic trainer and bike fitter. Our Spring Training Clinic is geared fro give cyclists all of all levels a jumpstart on the 2023 cycling season. Whether you are a newbie who needs coaching on what to bring on a ride and what to eat and drink or an experienced rider who wants to improve health and performance, this clinic will have something for you.
Our clinic will start with an indoor coaching session at the Friends Meeting House at 4836 Ellsworth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. Mike and Matt will provide the following coaching:
- Advanced Metrics Group: This group will dive into heart rate, power, cadence and training files to start the day. We will cover heart rate testing and trends in training, testing for heart rate and power thresholds and more including training files, and some strength training information. So if you are into these metrics, this group is for you. A ride will follow where we can talk training, heart rates, and even use a few hills on the ride to test for heart rate and power ranges.
- Basic Metrics and Pedaling Skills Group: This group will start by discussing general fitness needs of cycling along with heart rates, perceived effort, pacing, cadence and more. We will talk basic bike setup as well. We can talk about tips and tricks to keep your bike riding smooth like a lubricated chain to well pressured tires. This group will follow with a ride where we can discuss proper cadence, pace and any bike maintenance needs, along with enjoying the views of the day. This ride will have a casual and fun pace where we can chat and talk about cycling.
- Basic Fitness and Fun Ride Group: The group will start the day with the basic metrics group and will then split off for a fun, casual and easier ride.
