TO BE THE BEST....TRAIN WITH THE BEST...TRAIN HARD ...VERY HARD G-Force remain on the leading edge of physiology, sports medicine, nutrition and biomechanics with continuing education and support from highly qualified advisors. That means you’ll receive the smartest, most precise coaching possible. The goal of coaching is to develop the ‘best you can be on race day’ Triathlete, a person who has the fitness, physical skill, knowledge, focus and confidence to accomplish his or her goals. I focus on the aerobic system, as it is the primary determinant of endurance athletic performance. The aerobic system is the most efficient energy system in the body, and it produces the fewest negative by-products. A highly developed aerobic system can tolerate an enormous load, allowing an athlete to do more work before calling on additional, more fatiguing systems for energy. The end result is greater sustained power and less overall fatigue. This new approach to training works so well because it reduces the total stress on the athlete. Old methods were too hard, too frustrating, and too demoralizing. Efficiently training your aerobic system takes precision, but is far less taxing on the mind and body than the old way. When you lower the intensity a bit, moods lift, confidence grows and athletes start reaping huge rewards. The best part about this method is that it applies to athletes of all abilities in any endurance sport because the aerobic system is easily accessible and responds quickly to training. G-Force prescribe the same workouts to elite athletes, age-group athletes with family responsibilities and 60 hour-a-week jobs. The workouts vary in length, but the goals and the relative intensities are the same.
