Ultimate Cycling Winter Trainer Sessions 2011 ~ Participant Comments

Hey, Coach Will and Neil,

I wanted to thank you guys for hosting the trainer sessions.  I enjoyed doing them and I feel they have helped my cycling.  The combination of one long ride every weekend during the winter and your trainer session's have really made a difference in my cycling experience as a CAT 3.  The races feel much easier due to the work we did and the length is not a factor anymore either due to the long rides. This has equated to early success already.  Although I have yet to get a win, out of 7 total races this year I have already had a 12th, 10th, 9th, 8th, and 6th place finish!  It's only a matter of time before I stand on top of the podium!

But thanks again and it is a pleasure to race alongside guys like George Darden who you have also been very instrumental in his success.

Thanks, Coach Will and Neil, for the efforts you put into the workouts this year.  Good workouts have to be hard, that is their purpose.  This year, even with the increased degree of difficulty, the sessions have been entertaining mentally, even as they were challenging physically.  Well done to the both of you, though I almost coughed up a lung or two on occasion.  But that's cycling...

Hey Coach Will,

Thank you for challenging me with your Ultimate Cycling class this winter.  Not only did I maintain my fitness throughout the colder months, I’m coming into the spring season even faster and stronger than last season!   The workouts always kept me on my toes, they were varied and challenged me in new ways each week.  And the classes are always fun, lots of great people. 

I look forward to a successful triathlon season, and hope to report some new PR’s!

Kind regards,

Meg Daniel

Coach Will,

First off the sessions were great! As a first timer the instruction and assistance were very helpful.

I missed a few sessions but when riding on the weekends I sure was stronger. My cardio also improved with running.

This is a must for winter training to get ready for spring outside riding.

I have a 200 mile/2 day ride coming up next week and feel strong and confident that I’ll finish and still be able to walk the following day.

Go for it next year!

Great training session. This class really helped me to start the cycling season off in much better shape and it is a great group to train with. Coach Will knows how to train!
