After downloading, in order for me to get it to save and work correctly, I had to right click on the file and run it as an administrator (https://get.adobe.com/air/) Then, download the TrainerRoad [Workout Creator] (http://trainerroadcdn1.blob.core.windows.net/software/workoutcreator.1.4.0.air) The first two steps made TrainerRoad not work on my PC....

Read more →I often ask my athletes to produce the most speed for the least cost. In the off-season, when athletes aren't focused on racing, I will look at aerobic cost. For example, I will assign a negative-split workout where the goal is to go out at a Zone 1 heart rate. This can be an out-and-back course or it can be a loop. On the way back, the athlete is to run or ride as fast as possible – without exceeding the top of Zone 2 heart rate. I want to know how fast or powerful you can be at an...
