Turbo Training with Ben Instone

Big thanks to Ben Instone for leading the first of his three turbo training sessions for our Redhill “road” riders.

10 “trainees” turned up with bikes, turbos, heart rate monitors and drinks (and with a fair level of apprehension) before Ben led everyone into an intensive hour’s programme of hard effort and commitment that saw a lot of power being developed - as well as some grim faces.

Over the course of the session Ben dictated the pace, leading everyone through a programme of varying power and cadence intervals including some all-out efforts that saw him produce some shattering power levels (as witnessed from his SRM power meter cranks)

However, everyone recognised the benefits of the session and went away with some appreciation of the level of training that needs to be put in to significantly raise performance levels.

Ben is being good enough to lead two further sessions ; these are on Tuesday 6 Jan and again 20 Jan. Anyone interested should contact Allan Hopkins.

Please note that the next sessions will be in a larger and cooler hall, so if you are planning to race in 2009 get along to these sessions - they are not to be missed !
