From: Cycling For Boomers

How’s this for a cool video idea– images of stage 12 of the Tour of Italy flash by while you’re on you trainer and renowned coach Sally Edwards, who is a boomer herself and a legend among triathlon competitors, urges you on. That’s the lure of a DVD from Global Ride called “Climbing Sufferage in Italy.” While you are looking at images first of Venice, then of the climb into the mountains, Sally offers clues about which heart-rate zone you should be in, when to stand, when to sit and when to change to harder or easier gears. “Focus on your biomechanics,” she says at one point. At another “”I want you to get into the spirit… I want you to hold zone 3… we are so lucky to be in Italy today!”

Edwards is a former Master’s World Record holder in the Ironman Triathlon, as well as a world record holder in the Iditashoe 100-Mile Snowshoe Race. She offers private coaching through her company, Heartzones.com. The Climbing Sufferage DVD costs $29.95, includes music (but you can choose just Sally’s comments) and yoga training for cyclists. You can choose from it and and other indoor training videos at Global Ride.
