Just wanted everyone to see that I have committed to doing the Life Time Fitness Triathlon on July 10th this summer 🙂
We started our 2 hour rides (up from 90 minutes) today and my iPod was in charge of the playlist. It did a great job!
We did what I call my Endurance Shuffle Class. HR is to stay in upper Zone 2 to lower Zone 3 while every song change requires some change in the rider. It could be; position, intensity, focus, cadence, load, emotion, pedal technique, anything so long as it was something. I encouraged them to just go with whatever the song lead them.
We will find out if 1,000 Spinning Indoor Cycling Bikes will fit in the Target Center
That was the heading of the email I just received.
It continued:
Life Time Fitness is holding a record breaking 2 Hour Spin class with 1000 bikes for the ride! The event will be held March 7th from 11am-1pm in the Target Center Downtown Minneapolis. CEO and Founder Bahram Akradi, along with 4 of Life Time’s top spin instructors, will lead you through what is bound to be a tough but fun 2 hour ride! During the ride you will have the BEST tunes spun by DJ Roberto Costa with various guest appearances that will keep you entertained throughout the ride. In order to participate in this record breaking event, you will need to wear a Life Time Fitness jersey. If you do not own one already, you can order one online or you can purchase the 2010 jersey from me for $49.95. (there's always a catch; John) Look for additional details this week on MYLT.com. Your Group Fitness Department Heads as well as the General Managers of your home club will have sign up and jersey procurement information as well.
Please make sure that you reserve your space for this event AND spread the word!!!! (with 17,000 visitors a month I'm guessing I'm doing more than my share :)
I will update you when I know more….
I'm curious to know, who exactly are “4 of Life Time’s top spin instructors?” Nobody called me 🙁
While I was nearly drowning swimming today, I wondered if there were any other Indoor Cycling Instructors training for a Triathlon who would like to be “virtual” training partners. If so email me john (at) indoorcycleinstructor.com
I made this video using my new iPod Nano. Very cool little toy.
Our friends at Pedal Studio in London are hosting a Charity Spinning Indoor Cycling Strength Ride to benefit Partners In Health and the people of Haiti on Saturday the 30th at 12:00.
Partners In Health (PIH)
PIH has been working on the ground in Haiti for over 20 years. Partners In Health (PIH) works to bring modern medical care to poor communities in nine countries around the world. The work of PIH has three goals:
To care for patients, to alleviate the root causes of disease in their communities, to share lessons learned around the world.
Based in Boston, PIH employs more than 11,000 people worldwide, including doctors, nurses and community health workers. The vast majority of PIH staff are local nationals based in the communities they serve.
If there was a place I would love to fly to, just to take an Indoor Cycling Class, it would be Pedal Studio in London. They have a very impressive list of instructors including past Podcast guests Mark Tickner and Michelle Colvin.
