Today I gave a lecture for one of Mike Saunders' (A.K.A. Dr Saunders) classes at James Madison University. He's a professor of kinesiology and an accomplished athlete. I think it went pretty well, no one threw any trash at me and I think I kept everyone's attention. I was pretty fun actually. I thought to myself, 'if you can make a few points stick, and make people laugh then you've used your time well.' I really dig the science aspect of the sport of cycling, and I'm always reading up on the latest training articles and studying my training files.
The basics of the lecture were about my applied use of periodization in managing my fitness for a packed racing schedule. I showed my power meter graphs from Cycling Peaks, a few of my latest workout files and gave some examples of how workouts I do this time of year differ from race time. I also talked about the timing and type of training used to produce my best results.
Good luck to the students!
May all of use what we learn, once we figure it out.
