Of all the feedback from our event changes this year, there has been one consistent message that has really struck a chord:
"MORE TIME TO TRAIN!"
We hear you loud and clear, and we couldn’t agree more. 2021 is going to be our biggest, baddest year yet. We want to help you use this time to get stronger and faster, but more importantly we want to help make sure you are more confident than ever before that 2021 will be your year to reach new heights. We’re working hard at the moment to build a host of new tools to push your training. At the top of the list is our new training app. Designed to give you a truly holistic training experience, the Haute Route Coaching Companion is the perfect partner to kick start your journey to the finish line. We caught up with the masterminds behind the app, PKRS.AI for some inside tips on how to maximise your time, adapt to the current situation and be the best all-round cyclist you’ve ever been.
#1 GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME
With events cancelled and group training rides on hold, it’s hard to maintain that intense motivation that we thrive on. A training plan is key to hitting your goals, whatever they may be. But pushing your boundaries isn’t just a physical challenge. The key to success is to set your own pace to strengthen mental preparedness. The TOOLS library in the Haute Route Coaching Companion has a host of mind exercises to strengthen your resolve. Now is the perfect time to start focusing on building your mental game.
#2 GET STRONGER
Training indoors might seem like a big ask for us outdoor types, but many professional cyclists use indoor training to achieve their full potential. Specific indoor exercise gives you the opportunity focus on key areas that are neglected in regular training. It can also allow you to target interval training, which can boost your endurance. A study conducted at the Karolinska Institute, found that even one session of HIIT triggered molecular changes in muscle cells. The group of bikers in the study saw their muscle cells adjust energy production to become more efficient in just 24 hours. Indeed, a little can go a long way when it comes to training indoors. Our new training app offers a library of specific training exercises and a dedicated coach to help target what you need.
#3 ANALYSE YOUR WORKOUTS
Every athlete is different and has individual training needs. Now is the perfect opportunity to find out exactly what works for you. In the Haute Route Coaching Companion app, in addition to the personalised coaching team, you will have the benefit of an A.I assistant. Designed by Olympic champions and their coaches, the A.I. is built to analyse your performance and provide the best adaptive training plan possible.
