The Human Body, Limitations to Performance: Part 1, Krista Austin
These webinars (Part 1 and Part 2) address limitations to exercise performance through review of the following five models: 1) cardiovascular, 2) energy supply and depletion, 3) muscle recruitment and power production, 4) biomechanical and 5) psychological. The relationship of these models to endurance sports are addressed. The need for regeneration and its role in receiving the full adaptations from training are also discussed.

Performance Testing and Analysis for Athletes, Krista Austin
The Benefits of Training at Altitude, Krista Austin
The rationale for using performance testing to evaluate the effects of training is presented. This will include standardized testing that is presently available and how to develop testing for a sport or coach’s specific needs. How to calculate the training impulse (impact of training on the body) and its use in the evaluation of performance testing is covered. Developing evaluation tools for competition and using the analysis to drive the next training cycle is also reviewed.
The response of the body to acute (< 1 day), short (1-5 days) and long term (> 5 days) altitude exposure, along with the implications for training and performing under this type of environment is discussed. This will include the heart rate, breathing and rate of perceived exertion response to work intensity; along with the implications for competing. Information regarding fuel use, hydration and the interaction with other aspects of the environment is also presented.
The purpose of this webinar is to provide advanced charting and tracking of athlete training to prevent performance plateaus. There will be examples of advanced charts, as well as how to create and interpret them in the WKO+ software.
Advanced Charts and Tracking in WKO+ for Athlete Performance, Jim Vance
This webinar is for any coach or athlete who wants to better understand what power is, how a power meter works, and what it can tell us about an athlete’s fitness. TrainingBible Elite Coach Jim Vance will discuss and explain how we define power, how to read a power file, and how to build training sessions and programs around power data, to help athletes reach their potential. Jim will use TrainingPeaks online software and WKO+ software to explain how to read power files. If you're a coach or athlete looking to get started with power, this is a must-see!
Introduction to Power and Power Meters, Jim Vance
If you’re a coach or athlete looking for a better understanding of swimming, in order to improve triathlon performance, this webinar is for you. TrainingBible Elite Coach Jim Vance discusses the 3 most important technical aspects of swimming, in an effective and understandable manner, which will help all coaches and athletes apply the knowledge to their strokes, practice sessions and training programs. Jim Vance is an acclaimed swim instructor, helping many competitive athletes improve their swimming dramatically, with these concepts.

Annual Training Plan Design, Matt McNamara
Periodization, base training, power, heart rate, the 3:1 on/off ratio - with so many considerations in setting out a responsible plan how is an athlete, or coach, supposed to effectively address the myriad of questions and issues that go into creating a workable season plan? This webinar walks you through the important considerations in setting up your racing season. Both power and heart rate based approaches are covered. Perhaps more importantly we'll look at two approaches to managing the intensity/duration relationship based on your total available training time.
If you want to be competitive in cycling you need to do intervals. Sounds simple enough right, but designing effective intervals is the artful application of science and all-too-often fraught with information overload for both coaches and athletes. This webinar will help you learn the fundamentals of planning intervals for athletes and coaches. Don't stumble through another mediocre season - get focused and have fun with your workouts!
Cycling Intervals, Matt McNamara
You've set out a great annual plan, done all your intervals and are ready to race! Don't let your race come down to a strategic mistake, tactical miscue, or worse not knowing the course! This webinar will help you learn the fundamentals of race planning. From preliminary and race day course recon to creating and executing an effective race plan for individuals and teams, this webinar will help you race smart. We'll focus on a couple of different events including a road race and a criterium.
Cycling Tactics and Course Recon, Matt McNamara
Train Like a Pro, Matt McNamara
Ever wondered just what separates the Pro's from the rest of us? Here's your chance to learn a little bit of the answer. This webinar will focus on the physiological and psychological profile of european pro
cyclists, including their physical and physiological profiles, training and racing volumes and their overall preparation and volume relative to amateur cyclists. It is a fascinating look at what makes a pro!
Power based training is widely seen as the Gold standard in performance coaching. The true efficacy of power based training is most evident when used in interval training, but it is also rife with potential problems. When should you do intervals, how far apart, what systems to target day to day in your
training? This webinar delves into the science and structure behind power based interval design and
implementation. We'll have lots of real world file analysis, workouts and ideas that you can use in your
own training or coaching.

Power 2.0: Tracking Performance and Training with Power , Jim Vance
This webinar will focus on how to use power data to track an athlete's fitness, performance, training stress, recovery, tapering, and race strategy, within TrainingPeaks online software, and WKO+ 3.0 software. This webinar is an extension of the topics covered in the "Introduction to Power and Power Meters" webinar.
Power 3.0: Advanced Power Analysis, Jim Vance
This webinar will focus on how to better assess strengths and weaknesses in an athlete's fitness levels, fine tune training to meet the specific demands of race day, and more closely monitor training on a regular basis, within TrainingPeaks online software, and WKO+ 3.0 software. This will include scattergraph analysis and Quadrant Analysis. This webinar is an extension of the topics covered in the "Power 2.0 - Tracking Performance and Training with Power".
So many athletes struggle with open-water swimming on race day, no matter how well they swim in the pool. Other athletes seem to step up their game, swimming much better than they do in the pool. How do they do it? TrainingBible Coach and elite triathlete Jim Vance discusses the specific skill sets and techniques which create successful open-water swimmers. Jim discusses everything from entries and exits, to drafting and dealing with crowds. The strategies and systems detailed in this session will help every athlete and coach, guaranteed!
Faster Open Water Swimming, Jim Vance
