Brand New! Complete training plans for cyclists, short-course and long course triathletes using your ErgVideo Multi-disk packs.
Designed by NCCP level 3 certified cycling coach Paul Smeulders, these training plans are free: all you need are the ErgVideos, and you're good to go. The plans are
customized to your ability level, and can be updated as you progress. They use Intellicoach ErgVideo tools extensively to show you everything about your scheduled rides, including power profile and
expected performance statistics. You can even use the site to help autoconfigure your ErgVideo sessions. Take a look now at Intellicoach.ca.
Coaches!! Use the training plans as your starting template to develop custom schedules for your ErgVideo-enabled athletes.
Our sister-site, Intellicoach.ca hosts a complete workout design toolkit so you
can design your ErgVideo sessions to achieve your personal training targets. The tool features full pre-analysis of your workout: you'll know the outcome before you turn a pedal!
Coaches can use the tool to design ErgVideo sessions for their athletes and even e-mail each workout specification directly to them! The athlete sees the entire workout profile, along with pre-analysis data,
and can utilize the "one touch" configuration feature in the ErgVideoPlayer to get underway quickly.

Coolest of all is that this tool and website are completely dynamic, so there is no need to store athlete records or emails on the web, no need for accounts, passwords, or server storage space. Everything is tucked "nice and
neat" into the very short, personal e-mails. So you manage all of your workouts in your own computer's local inbox!

ErgVideo is a new program with which to enjoy your CompuTrainer system. The ErgVideo player presents the real-life racing and training content
synchronized with the actual power output of the cameraman, a real race participant!
The real-life power load is applied to you and your bike by the CompuTrainer via the ErgVideo & CompuTrainer software systems. ErgVideo thus creates a true simulation of the real requirements of the ride or race.
Never fear, you SCALE the power profile to your own fitness level, so you need not be as fit as our original riders to keep up. In fact, each rider in a multirider environment
can ride at their very own level, and always feel as though they are the main character, our hero, in the action! As you progress and gain fitness,
you set the power-basis level higher and higher, to get a harder and harder workout!
The Power profile-based operation of the ErgVideo system is the key to incredible training sessions as well, with our Train for RealTM series.
Top-notch riders lead you in key cycling workouts and interval sessions. You set the level you need to hit your specific power training zones. It's like riding with champs, for sure, and you get your workouts done on target, everytime,
in the best way possible: in ergometer mode on your CompuTrainer! If you have two or more CompuTrainers, your training partners can join you and work at their own power levels as well. ErgVideo is great for couples who want to train together, but have a hard time staying together on the road!
ErgVideos ship to you on DVD, and include the ErgVideo Player software, the ErgVideo of your choice, Quick-Start & full documentation. We also include
an instructional video on how to configure your CompuTrainer, and step-by-step instructions
on using ErgVideo Software. All this, and support, for $45 per video. Check our new discounts for 3,6, and 9 disk orders!
The ErgVideo Player includes a ride-designer that lets you set the duration of your ride, the start point, the end, and even allows you to extend the ride by creating "repeat frames". So a 2 hour ErgVideo can be used for rides as short as 10 minutes to 6 hours!
Train for REALTM with ErgVideo!
All new for Oct-Nov. 2007, we've developed a complete series of training ErgVideos. These
are awesome sessions covering all aspects of cycling training for Triathlon and
Road Racing.
Train for RealTM ErgVideos will cover training from the base-building period all the way up to peaking...and racing of course!
A Train For Real ErgVideo is designed to be flexible and provide many different workouts throughout your season. For example, our soon to be released "Maximum Aerobic Power (VO2max) Intervals" ErgVideo contains the following set of intervals:
- 8 reps of 45 seconds @ 128%TP, with 2 minutes rest between
- 6 reps of 60 seconds @ 122%TP, with 1 minutes rest between
- 6 reps of 90 seconds @ 135%TP, with 3 minutes rest between
- 8 reps of 120 seconds @ 122%TP, with 3 minutes rest between
- Extra rest time separates the sets
Now, it is not recommended that anyone do these sets all at once. More typically, you select a set, along with some extra intra-set rest (say 5-7 minutes), and repeat that set from 2-4 times, depending on your ability and your training needs.
For example you may pick the longer interval, less intense sets at the beginning of your VO2Max phase, and work toward the shorter, more intense sets. As your TP (Threshold power) improves, you also raise the intensity of the ErgVideo session!
It is easy to see that this single Train for RealTM ErgVideo can be used for weeks of different MAP/VO2max development workouts. Add sets, add intensity, or ask your coach!
Our sister-site, Intellicoach.ca hosts a complete Coach's Toolkit so you or your
personal coach can incorporate your ErgVideos into your training regimen! You or you coach can select the interval sets you need, set the number of reps, and download the design into your ErgVideo player. One-touch loading of your workout
into your ErgVideo player, and you are riding: Motivated, entertained, and on-target.
Answers to all your
questions.
ErgVideos ship with Quick-Start & full documentation. We also include
an instructional video on how to configure your CompuTrainer, and step-by-step instructions
on using ErgVideo Software. Click links below
