2024 Final Early Season Endurance Road / Education Training Camp
February 16 – 18, 2024
Pacific Cycling Centre 2023-24 program year starts with four training camps and education sessions over fall and winter to build a fitness base with the goal of having a successful season.
The fourth camp is placed in the end-mesocycle of the special preparatory phase and is structured to maximize skills in your desired discipline. This camp will offer on-road evaluations to determine and benchmark your personal current fitness and provide you with feedback on your needs for the 2024 race season based on your goals.
There is a unique opportunity to train and work with PCC head coach Houshang Amiri who is leading the camp as well as guest speakers from pro-peloton. Rides aim to improve endurance and boost aerobic capacity for endurance cycling disciplines such as road, track, MTB and triathlon with riders requiring group riding skills.
Camp includes:
Daily training sessions with Pacific Cycling Centre Head Coach Houshang Amiri. Ride support with Gruppo Nutrition. Endurance Mix and Recovery Mix are provided during and after the training. Full vehicle and mechanical support on the rides.
Presentation on training: Every camp features a different topic. Presentations usually cover planning, recovery, cycling technique and tactics, and fatigue / performance management. A Q & A session is held after the presentation and we will have a guest speaker.
