Tonya Spagnuolo Tonya Spagnuolo, a mother with two young children and a full-time career, felt that she was not reaching her potential as a triathlete. While she had been competing in triathlons for many years, she was not improving. She told us that she wanted to see how good she could get at the sport. After assessing her strengths and weaknesses, and reviewing her exercise history, we structured her training to improve her swim stroke, increase her strength on the bike, and develop her ability to maintain a running pace near her anaerobic threshold. Now Tonya frequently wins her age group in triathlons and was the first female finisher at the New England Adult Triathlon in 2007.
Caitlin Connelly
In November 2006, Caitlin decided to run the Boston Marathon in April 2007 in memory of her baby daughter and her mother. We were thrilled when Caitlin asked us to help her prepare for this important event. Since Caitlin was not a runner and did not have a background in endurance sports, we focused on gradually increasing her running mileage while including swimming and cycling workouts to build her aerobic base. Sport-specific strength workouts and minimal anaerobic threshold training put the finishing touches on her aerobic foundation. Caitlin completed her first marathon in 4:21. Now we are helping her train for triathlons and prepare for The Walt Disney World Marathon where she hopes to qualify for the 2008 Boston Marathon.

Lisle Holgate
Lisle Holgate, a husband, father, and senior marketing executive
in the software industry contacted us in October 2005 to help
him prepare for a cycling event in France that he had been
dreaming about competing in for years-- L’Etape du Tour.
The July 2006 race would cover 118 grueling miles from Gap to
L’Alpe d’Huez, with three mountain passes including the infamous
L’Alpe d’Huez.
A professional bicycle racer in the 1980’s,
Lisle had the knowledge to compete in this epic event, but he
needed the fitness. Given the competing demands on his time and
his need to travel globally several weeks each month, it was
essential to maximize the limited time that he could devote to
training. So we encouraged Lisle to get Power Cranks and a
Computrainer. By training with Power Cranks, Lisle was forced
to pedal with more coordination, and eventually more
efficiency. Plus the time benefits—training for one hour with
Power Cranks is approximately equivalent to training one and a
half hours with regular cranks. With its varied courses
and close simulation to road riding, the Computrainer made
indoor training much more interesting, and allowed us to
incorporate training with power into Lisle’s workouts.
During that winter and early spring, Lisle’s training included
significant on-the-bike strength work and long, hilly endurance
rides. Then anaerobic threshold training was added during the
final eight weeks before a long taper.
Lisle completed his dream event and is now contemplating doing L’Etape du Tour for a second time when the event returns to the Alps in July 2008. |
