With the goal of cycling across the U.S. in 2018, I have been training with Jared Ellison, owner of the LAB in Folsom, since May 2016. On Thursday mornings he sets me up to a course on the trainer and I ride. Jared has me work on various aspects of cycling from building strength to building endurance. In just a few months I have increased my power by 15% which makes me feel great. I feel stronger than I've felt in years.
I also train at home twice a week with a workout that Jared has designed for me on my stationary bike. With the workouts on my home exercise bike I also work on my core doing floor exercises.
On Fridays, we meet at the LAB and go on outdoor rides. These are listed on Meetup.
Starting in January 2017, I will be increasing how much I train. I also may be doing a weekend training in Soquel working on hills.
It is so exciting to see my progress and feel so great! I know that I can reach my goals thanks to the help of Jared and the encouragement of my family and friends.
