Our runners are required to have a fitness tracker so that we can monitor their performance. We will provide complimentary access to TrainingPeaks- a platform that allows you and your coach to share data directly from your fitness tracker. Your workouts can be accessed via the TrainingPeaks app or TrainingPeaks website and in most cases will sync directly to your fitness tracker so that you don’t have to remember the details of your workout. All runners will have a variety of types of runs, sequenced in a way to maximize output while allowing appropriate recovery. All run paces & effort levels will be adapted to your TrueZone to ensure that we're getting the most output with as little input as possible.
Often misunderstood and neglected, understanding your unique sweat rate and sweat composition can make it much easier to run faster, longer and more efficiently. We've seen proper hydration transform our runners and have established a coaching partnership with Nix Biosensor. Our partnership with Nix Biosensor (https://nixbiosensors.com/) allows our runners to access to discounts on the biosensor and future sweat patch refills. Even better- once you’re enrolled with TZC, we’ll refund the cost of the biosensor when you refer another runner into our program. Who doesn’t love FREE stuff!
Recovery isn’t only about taking a rest day here and there- it’s about optimizing sleep, balancing training load and understanding the impact that different types of running has on your body. Unfortunately, fitness trackers aren't the best at monitoring health metrics and that's where Whoop comes in, Use our discount with Whoop (https://www.whoop.com/us/en/) which can help you get started and get you a reduced subscription cost.
