Innovative Endurance, a proud sponsor of Notre Dame Cycling, gives the team weekly access to their state-of-the art Computrainer™ studio located in downtown South Bend. ErgVideo™ recently provided new software to IE. The application controls the power level on CompuTrainer™ systems and synchronizes it with video content and efforts shown by riders in races, rides, and training sessions. Sunday January 19, we conducted ErgVideo™ threshold testing. The session consisted of an approximately 30 minute warm-up, including 1, 5 minute interval at approximately 95% of previous threshold power and 3, 1 minute intervals at approximately 110%. After a cool-down, the agonizing 20 minute test began. The video accompanying the entire warm-up and test gave us a riding partner in beautiful open roads (with much nicer riding weather than South Bend in winter). ErgVideo™ made the threshold testing as enjoyable it could be and provides us with the best option for indoor winter training. In the upcoming days, we will be reviewing the workout experience of other ErgVideo™ training sessions. Check them out at http://www.ergvideo.com/default.aspx#/Home
