At Innovative Endurance we believe that consistency and periodization can take an athlete beyond what they ever believed. We emphasize the use of perceived exertion, heart rate and wattage measuring to evaluate an athletes fitness and personalize their workouts. IE programs are soundly developed based on several principles that Greg has researched and developed for several years.

Consistency- It is imperative to make your sport part of your life in such a way that you welcome it and it has a healthy balance with family, work and life. Being burned out or stressed physically or mentally only detracts from your long term ability to improve.

Patience and Recovery- Athletes must be patient and trust that there is a reason for everything. Furthermore rest is often shunned or overlooked, when in truth your true improvements don’t come during hard workouts but later when you allow your body to absorb them.

Periodization- Building your phases during the year. We don’t say how long one phase lasts because it depends on the athlete, their goals and their history. Each athlete progresses through several phases of development to culminate in their best racing.

Strength and Flexibility- Flexibility allows you to literally be at your full range of motion. Not only does it reduce injury but makes you more efficient and more biomechanically sound. Strength offers the athlete the chance meet their full potential while also staying off injuries.

Aerobic Base- This is building the engine so that you can be as strong as possible. Without an aerobic base you cannot take full advantage of your anaerobic capacity. This base takes years to develop and requires lots of patience and consistency.
