Each week, coach and author, Hal Higdon answers your questions about running. Here's the latest:
Joe Friel was in our office Monday and Tuesday, and we put together a Q&A video with some training questions from our users. Check out the video to get Joe's take on setting your FTP, time-crunched training, and where to spend money on gear to get speed.
While each coach will likely request slightly different information depending on your goals and their methodology (and they should let you know up front what they want to see), there are some basic things that you should record. If you are your own coach, this is just as important so you have information when you review your workout history.

This month it is time to turn the heat up a bit with an example of a race combo. The layout of a race combo can be modified depending on your fitness and the type of race you are getting ready for, for this example we will assume the rider is a fit cat 2 getting ready for a 3.5 hour road race.

This month is all about getting your feet wet with some formal training combos. More to the point, this month is about endurance combos. As mentioned in my last article, training combos should be introduced slowly and used sparingly within a well-structured training program. Please feel free to post any questions you may have about training combos on Stoller's Facebook page.
Endurance combos are intended to further improve your base fitness, while introducing the stresses of varying terrain and tempos.
