What’s a CTS Audio Workout?

We’ve taken a CTS Workout, the kind featured in our best-selling collection of Train Right DVDs and used in our popular Power Training classes, and converted them into audio files which you can download to your iPod or digital music player. Best of all, once you bu the workout, it’s yours to keep and use forever. Take your training session to the next level with the voice of a CTS coach in your ears. You don’t have to think about how to workout anymore. Just listen and follow your coach.

CYCLING

Do the Tour . . . Stay at Home.™
There is no other event like the Tour de France, and though we’d all like to toe the start line, that privilege is earned by fewer than 200 riders each year. I remember riding the race in 1986, and I can tell you there is nothing else that compares to the intensity, speed, and pressure of the Tour. You want to get an idea of what it’s like for the riders you’re watching on television? Here’s your chance.

Prologue: Kickoff Time Trial in London
CTS Workout: CTS Field Test
The Do The Tour…Stay at Home.™ Prologue workout is a race against the clock—actually it’s two. You’ll warm-up like the pros and then go all out for two 10-minute intervals. Why? Because just like the Tour Prologue, this workout is a test of your current fitness and you can use the heart rate or power data from it to determine training intensities for other Do The Tour…Stay At Home.™ workouts.
