FLT Training at Dog House…learn your training and racing zones!

Everyone knows the bike is the longest part of a triathlon and the easiest place to bring down your overall time.  But many of you, especially newer triathletes, don’t know how to truly train and race on the bike at an optimal level while saving something for the run.  You need to learn to train and race in your zones, which are very individualized.  The best way to learn your training and racing zones is through a Functional Threshold Power (FTP) test conducted by an expert in the right facility.  Thanks to our new relationship with Dog House, not only do they have the right training facility, but Rick Slifkin is one of the most skilled trainers in the area to conduct the FTP test.  If you don’t have a power meter, no worries, Rick can also develop your zones through use of your heart rate monitor.  As a special to welcome the new sponsorship, Rick has agreed to close down his studio the morning of Saturday, March 3rd  to conduct the FTP test for FLT members at a 50% discount for only $30.  This special is only valid during the FLT Day!  Between the warm up and warm down the FLT test will last close to an hour and it will be a high intensity workout.  After the test Rick will present you will your training zones as well as explain to you how to train and race in those zones.  Please avoid a hard running or cycling efforts for the two days prior to the FTP test for the most accurate results. 

Rick can manage up to 8 riders at a time so we will have 5 – 1 hour heats from 8 am to 1 pm.  We will only be able to accommodate 40 riders and we anticipating this to sell out.  If we get an overwhelming response, we may consider adding a heat or adding an additional day.
