Group track training sessions are starting at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center in PA for the season. These can be beneficial if you would like to train on the track but don't know how to put together an efficient session, or you would like to challenge yourself more with a group environment. Personal goals for a session are taken into consideration. Spots will be limited. Read more information and book your spot online. Continue to check back for sessions to be added throughout the season. These sessions are returning after a season off for COVID concerns. We are returning by following all guidelines by completing temperature checks, masking when necessary (including starting out now when riding in each other's slipstreams), and distancing when off the bike.

In addition to our group track training sessions, open to non-coached athletes to join, Kim Geist Coaching provides personal sessions on and off the track. Personal sessions are a pay-as-you-go way of accessing hands-on, one-on-one coaching. Find booking and contact info at our website. http://www.kimgeistcoaching.com/personal-sessions/... http://www.kimgeistcoaching.com/group-track-training/

The racing season has begun in some places, the Brian Piccolo Park Velodrome in Florida being one of them. Kim Geist Coaching athlete Mark Keup took the win in the omnium this week. Florida Velodrome Association #brianpiccolopark #brianpiccolovelodrome

Registration is open for Women's Wednesdays at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center in PA. We start next week! We start off with the Refresher class (https://www.bikereg.com/womens-wednesdays) to get riders back on track after time off during the winter or multiple seasons. The Refresher class is perfect way to build up comfort to then take part in Women's Weekend (https://www.bikereg.com/womens-weekend-2021), a two-day event geared towards being a stepping stone between our ...classes and starting a USA Cycling-sanctioned race day. We also have Basic and Advanced classes available throughout the summer to take riders from just getting started with riding the velodrome and a track bike to being able to practice their learned skills in race scenarios. Check it out and be sure to share and register! #womenswednesdays #ttownisgreatfortrackracing #thevelodrome #ttown2021 #gofastturnleft

That plateau as of recent? That's when you rest up after 4 months of smart and strong training to smash out some all-time personal records. That is a gain of 10 watts for a 7 minute effort and 25 watts for a sub-30 minute effort, when you're already a highly-trained athlete. #proudcoach #proudcoachmoment

Pictures can't do it justice, but we've got (super bright) light at the Kim Geist Academy! And we've also put in brand new heating and cooling for optimal temperature control for workouts. We're continuing work on giving great clearance to the portion of the facility with the highest ceiling, as well as continuing on with a host of other renovations to maximize the space to our needs. In addition to being a resource to Kim Geist Coaching coached athletes and the community, ...we're creating a facility that has everything aspiring national and international-level athletes need to succeed - in a smart layout to how training programs will be carried out.

Some Kim Geist Coaching athletes completed formal field testing this week. We've definitely made clear improvements over last year. Bring on the season!

"Overall, the historical data does not appear to indicate that physical training undertaken around the time of vaccination will reduce efficacy, and could in fact improve vaccination response. Studies will be needed to evaluate these outcomes in the context of the novel formulations of COVID-19 vaccination."

We all want to be outside competing amongst each other soon, but for right now Kim Geist Coaching athlete Mark-Anthony Sanchez is cleaning up the wins at the Zwift Tour of America's Dairyland races with his Paralympic tandem partner. #zwift #zwiftcycling #paralympics #paralympicathlete #paracycling #toad2021 #toadfamily

Join us this spring and summer for a full slate of offerings for female cyclists to get into and advance through track cycling and racing. This goal of 50% women participation by 2025 is lofty, but the Valley Preferred Cycling Center is really leading the way, already well outshining the national average. This season's Women's Wednesdays program: https://thevelodrome.com/community-progr/womens-wednesdays/ #Repost @the_velodrome... In this week's podcast, we revealed an ambitious goal of 50% women participation on track by 2025. We call it "50/50 in 50" and a keystone component of this drive is Women's Wednesdays with @kimgeistcoaching. This year, we are offering a "Refresher" course in April and an "Advanced" course in June. We will also be announcing the details of a Women's Weekend that will provide another avenue for women to race on track.

Happy National Women in Sports Day to these amazing athletes! May they follow in the foot steps of their awesome coach!! Thank you Coach Kim for helping these ladies reach for the stars!!!

Thanks to Michelle Lee for the shout out. And she is spot on. With work on skills, tactics, and efficiency, an athlete can definitely be competitive among other athletes with larger engines. And track cycling is a perfect discipline to work on the craft. #Repost @the_velodrome "Every day you're up there you get three race finishes, at least. And then you get to watch maybe a dozen more. I spent some time training with @kimgeistcoaching , who is an absolute master of th...e craft. She will look at a field, look at the start line and say, 'I think the race is going to split up after the second sprint. You need to be here at this time.' It's super tactical, and I think that translates really well to the road. It's great for the riders who don't have a million watts, like myself. I remember a few weeks ago on the podcast, you hosted @elspeth_huyett , who said, 'I never do well on those CompuTrainer races because it only measures the power you can produce and not how good you are at the craft.' I think one of the reasons that the track is so awesome and so enjoyable for me and for a lot of other people is you do the training, you have to have some baseline fitness, but then you show up and it's a chess game. - Michelle Lee (@halfdraft) Our two newest members of the board, Cheryl Osborne and Michelle Lee are on the podcast this week talking about their experience in the sport and what they hope to accomplish in their new roles.

ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT: Meet Angela Echeverri of Morristown, NJ, who realized she needed to focus on her health in 2018 and purchased a first road bike. She had her first bike accident a month later, suffering a compound arm fracture, but never stopped riding. In 2019 she participated in the Garden State Fondo and earned the queen of the Mountain in her age group. This season she completed her first every century ride. She loves cycling because she thinks it is the best way to get to know places and meet people. Her goals for 2021 include getting stronger on the bike and staying healthy, as well as hopefully being able to travel and ride in other countries and complete the Gran Fondo New York World Championship.
