Awesome coached session today at Stromlo Forest Park, with Simon unveiling his new look, post thesis!
Valkyries present were:
Anna, Francesca, Tegan, Rach and Liz.
We learned some valuable new sprinting drills which both gave us better technique and also had us working at a high intensity in short intervals.
We practiced one legged pedalling for a smooth stroke, rapid easy gear pedalling for cadence and speed, jump start Bike Benders for strength and kick, and then 'tenner sprint drills which had everyone working at their peak.
We then combined these techniques with our best Cavendish and Renshaw impersonations and ran lead out trains, repeatedly imitating the final two laps of a crit race.
Excellent session and thanks to Simon for the great on the bike coaching! I really felt my technique improve by the end and was surprised how much i was yanking on the bike in the sprint position.
