Gordo's Review Below
The thing that struck me
most
is how much of a family atmosphere there is with
CPC
camps.
Jim Yanoschik
I want to express my appreciation toward you
and
the staff for a fine camp.I think the balance
between time "on" and
time "off" during
the
camp was spot on!

GORDO's
REVIEW
The camp was a great experience and I learned
quite a bit
from the athletes and other coaches.
Mitch shared some ideas on his personal training protocols
with us...In Mitch's own training, there are two kinds
of sessions -- fun sessions (the bulk) and race-prep sessions
(the key ones).
Fun sessions
are what excite him, keep him training and reflect the
way he wants to live. They may, or may not, be specific
to his needs as an athlete.
By keeping plenty of fun in his program -- he keeps his
enjoyment andconsistency high across the year. This is
important because consistency is the #1 thing in a training
program.
Race-prep sessions are his key workouts that he does
to prepare his body (and mind) for the demands of his
goal races. These are done much less frequently. They
take a lot of discipline on his part. On Saturday, I
rode with Mitch during one of his race-prep rides. I
had NEVER seen him ride like that... dead even pacing,
smooth
power
transitions on the hills... a complete eye-opener and
learning experience for me.
Watching Mitch, I realized that he is a guy that deeply
understands long course race pacing -- when he's "having
a little fun" on a group ride -- that's just for
kicks. When it comes time for a key session he's all business,
as you'd expect from a Marine officer!
A good reminder that we rarely see the entire picture
of an athlete's (or coach's) program.
With a bit of luck, Mitch will "feature" me
at one (or two) of his camps in 2008. I think that it
would be fun to repeat a camp like this one. |
