Sara Bresnick is a former professional mountain biker, cycling coach and founder of Pedal Power Training Solutions which offers customized training plans plus advice on nutrition, race strategy, and technique.
- What are some fitness goals your clients have beyond racing? For example, does it make sense for a rider to work with a coach before a big weeklong mountain bike trip?
- Do older athletes need more time to recover between intense workouts?
- What happens if you miss a day, or two, in a training schedule? How quickly do fitness gains disappear?
- How does an "off season" work for bike athletes? Should you still be biking some, or is it possible to do other activities instead?
- Let's say I wanted to ride the Tour Divide in 2025, and my goal was to finish the ride in 45 days. Given a good level of base fitness, what's a realistic timeframe for training? In general, what would a training plan involve?
- What's the biggest challenge most people face when it comes to improving their fitness?
- As a trainer, what can you learn from a client's workout data?
- How much of your job as a trainer is emotional support versus purely technical?
- What's one easy step everyone can take to start improving their fitness today?
