Performance Training for Everyday People
Michael's program stands as decidedly unique in that it
is ambitious in its performance goals, yet realistic in
recognizing that the majority of the population does not have
20-30 hours per week for training.
Quality versus Quantity, Variety in
Training, and Efficiency in Training are the operating principles
that enable athletes to aspire to more than simply covering
the race distance, but to instead challenge their personal
limits, yet with training hours that recognize life realities
such as jobs and family.
While Michael's carefully defined
training principles have remained constant over the years, the
form in which they are applied continues to evolve both to
reflect knowledge gained as well as to breathe fresh life into
his training programs. |

Performance Training Tools
M2 derives satisfaction from providing a
detailed and comprehensive training program
that produces results. For this reason, all of the M2 cyclists
and triathletes use indoor training devices for the bike, the
majority of which are computrainers.
A cycling program which does not
specifically reference fundamental variables like cadence,
pedaling efficiency, scientific heart rate training zones
versus fabricated calculations, is at best a hollow shell of a
program. The vagaries of road conditions, weather, terrain,
darkness, time available for training, etc. make outdoor
training much less predictable in terms of executing the type
of precise training that produces maximal results.
M2 athletes will generally ride indoors
2-3 sessions of about 1 hour duation per week, and use the
weekends to train on the roads. Please refer to the Testimonials
as to the results that this program produces.
How to become an M2 Grasshopper in
Training?
Looked to as an authority on studied
training methods, many of Michael's athletes refer to him
affectionately as the Master, and to themselves as
Grasshoppers. Athletes that are interested in participating in
one of Michael's training
programs should follow the signup
instructions and Michael will then contact you to discuss
details.
