Hello,
I am new to the forum and I was trying to hunt down some information.
My younger brother and I each race BMX and I am trying to design a training program for him for the next few months.
There are two races he is training for specificially at this point. These races are UCI World Qualifiers on back to back weekends on March 31st-April 1st and then the following weekend as well.
I know enough about training that I don't feel comfotable designing a program like this.
At this point we need to work on his first 4 to 8 pedals out of the gate. So, we are trying to increase strength and then power. He has good speed for his class at this point on natural ability alone.
I understand that in most cases you would begin by developing strength. How do we go about this?
After developing this strength. We need to turn it into power. How do we go about this?
What should the training programlook like for the first month, second month, third month as the races are about three months away now.
It would be great if anyone had suggestions or could offer any help.
Thanks,
