You’ve probably seen the links on our website and wondered who some of them are. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll clue you in as we tell you about some of the updates we’re making based on your feedback.
As for today, We are very excited to tell you that we have strengthened our connection with Whole Athlete. Both Pat and I have known founder Dario Fredrick (among other Whole Athlete coaches) for years. We admire their athletes’ success, agree with their approach, and most importantly, think their philosophy meshes well with the Velo Veneto approach to riding and life – riding well and living well are interconnected! Additionally, Dario has local connections; his mother is from Bassano, and he is a frequent visitor to, and rider on, the roads we tackle every year.
What does this stronger connection mean for you? At least for now, it means two things. First, approximately monthly, Whole Athlete will contribute an article to our blog on a training topic. These topics are meant to be helpful to you and your riding, so we would like your feedback and ideas for these articles. Second, Whole Athlete has, in addition to their ongoing coaching relationships, 3-month coaching packages available. If you are interested in maximizing your fitness for your time at camp, but aren’t interested in or comfortable with an ongoing training program, these packages might be just what the doctor ordered!
I could go on about Dario and Whole Athlete, but I doubt I’d do them justice. I encourage you to visit the Whole Athlete website to learn more about them, their philosophy, and their coaching options. If you have any other ideas or thoughts on how this connection can help make your riding and Velo Veneto experience better, please let us know.
Grazie! – Jason
