Taste of VQ: Indoor Intensity Cycling Workout
Session Details
Climbing Series: Week of February 27th through the week of April 16th

Cost of the 8-week session: $165
The first of the year marks the return to focused training for many athletes. While the overall structure of training is increasing, we are still far from the need to train race specific demands. The primary goal will be developing cycling-specific strength, which is done through a combination of short and long intervals performed with high tension and low cadences. We refer to the long intervals at Strength Endurance intervals, or SE’s, and the shorter efforts as Strength Endurance Pops, or SE Pops.

“Going Long” Cycling Classes
Are you looking for additional riding time on your bike to complement your Taste of VQ intensity rides? If so, then VQ’s new Going Long rides are right for your training needs.
Open to athletes of all riding abilities, the VQ Going Long rides will allow you to ride a unique course every week during designated times where you can work on your endurance, cadence, and other cycling skills as you ride for a 2 hour duration. These rides are designed to complement your Taste of VQ intensity rides and will strengthen your cycling abilities and prepare for your upcoming race season.
If you have early season races, this is a great opportunity to get in your long rides during the winter, practice your nutrition and overcome the boredom from riding on your trainer at home.
Get ready to Go Long with Vision Quest!

Taste of VQ: Endurance Swim
No one will deny the benefits of swimming, regardless of age, body type or ability. But if you’re in it for the long haul, then you know that swimming isn’t just about how far you swim in a workout, but also about how far you go per stroke. The more confidence you can give yourself, the better off you’ll be.
Take this opportunity to build your endurance for longer, stronger swims! Introducing Taste of VQ: Endurance Swim. Join these coached workouts with some of the best coaches in the area.
Benefits of the Taste of VQ Endurance Swim include:
* Maintaining your focus on thinking and being a swimmer, not just swimming because the “plan” says so
* Learning to concentrate on power, heart rate, average speed as quantifiable by pace, send-off, splits, etc.
* Enhancing the overall swim experience from simply thinking about doing the stroke correctly and number of laps swum
Our Taste of VQ Endurance Swim program has been modified to be more flexible to your schedule. We now have two options available for you to choose from:
Monthly Membership
For $50 a month, you will have access to swims twice a week, renewable online at the start of each month.
Classes are offered on Mondays and Thursdays at Northside College Prep from 8:00-9:30 PM.
Email info@visionquestcoaching.com for registration details.
Individual Sessions
If your schedule does not allow you to consistently swim every month, you can pay $10 for each workout you come to. All you have to do is show up, sign in with a coach and pay for your workout upon arrival.
