Cycling Canada Coach Webinar

Cycling Canada would like to increase the level of interaction and professional development opportunities for cycling coaches across the country.  We would like to take advantage of the access we have to key experts in cycling, and allow them to share that expertise with the community of cycling coaches.  We believe the introduction of webinars is an efficient and convenient way to achieve this objective. 

This webinar is scheduled for Tuesday February 25, 30, 2014. 

Topic: Yearly Training Plans  

• This webinar will cover the concept of developing yearly training plans for athletes at the Train to Compete to the Train to Win stage.   We will review topics such as building a proper template and managing different cycles within the season. Other focuses will include effectively planning the training of multiple energy files through the year, as well as how to organize training methods within a cycle. Finally, we will discuss some practical tools that coaches can use for monitoring both training load and recovery.
