Reds Team Training
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by : ). Here's info on team training - please contact us if you have questions.
Team Plans:
Also included
- Team Training is $50 / month which includes a team plan and team activities (details below)
- Team Registration is 'rolling' - you can join or stop at anytime. Our only "rule" is that an athlete join with enough time to train for their race without injury.
- We pick several "team races" each year as a way to build community and keep training fun - these are never required; please pick races that work for you. 2023 races listed below.
- You do not have to be part of the team to join classes and clinics - we'd love to have you join us however it works for you!
Team Plans:
- Athletes receive a team plan targeting their "A race" that is appropriate for their fitness level and race goals.
- Plans are loaded into Training Peaks several months at a time by Liz.
- It is the athlete's responsibility to follow the plan and move workouts around as needed to fit training into life.
- Coach - athlete communication is limited with team training in that there is not individual follow up on training. In-person team training sessions are intended for questions and learning + we have a robust team community that is all about helping each other > our goal is to help everyone be successful!
- If a team athlete wants more in-depth help, consulting is available for $50 / hour
- Those looking for more intensive coaching may consider the 1:1 coaching option - info here.
- Team training sessions 2023:
