At Dig It Triathlon and Multisport we are happy to discuss anything you would like to make your training more enjoyable and successful. Having trouble deciding which workouts are most important? Don't know what races to do leading up to a big event? Want some feedback on a season long training plan? We are glad to help. Normal sessions are one hour and are most successful when the athlete sends an email outlining the questions to be addressed beforehand.

Cost - $50 per hour 

Power Testing
Power meters are transforming the ways in which cyclists train. You too can be a part of the revolution with our customized power tests. Coach Jason is an expert in power based training and racing. Our power testing includes an individually designed test to maximize the usefulness of the data. Coach Jason brings all the needed equipment to you. Once the test is over, all data will be downloaded and analyzed. Athletes will receive a written report and a follow up consultation regarding training modifications in lieu of the test results. Tests are most effective when over time so as to track changes in fitness without the full expense of purchasing one's own power meter.

Cost - $90 for first test and $70 for each additional test. Contact Jason to schedule the test or to ask any additional questions you may have about power testing.

Lactate Testing
Lactate has a bad reputation as athletes associate its presence with pain and having to slow down. While it is clear that lactate is present in increasing amounts as exercise intensity goes up, lactate is actually a friend of the endurance athlete, not a foe. Testing lactate levels, via finger prick blood samples, offers athletes precise data about how hard they are working. This information can then be used to establish the most appropriate training zones for the athlete. Dig It Triathlon and Multisport offers lactate testing via the Lactate Pro analyzer. A lactate test can be performed while swimming, cycling, or running. These tests are best used when they are repeated so athletes can precisely monitor their progress over time.

Cost - $75. Includes written report with a plot of the lactate profile and recommended training zones derived from the lactate test itself. Follow up tests are discounted. 

Running Gait Analysis
Everyone can run. Not everyone can run well and one of the keys to successful running is proper form. It would be mistake, however, to assume that there is a universal proper form, as human bodies have many inconsistencies. Through an analysis of current running form, via video, we work with you to establish improved running technique. As a result, you will be faster, more efficient, and less likely to get hurt.

Cost - $75. Includes written report with drill recommendations and cd for review. Follow ups to initial analysis are discounted significantly. 

Swim Technique Evaluation
Swimming is a technique based sport. No matter how fit a swimmer, if their technique is not sound, they won't go very fast. They will also use a lot of energy to go slow. Our swim technique evaluations involve watching you swim, taking video so you can see what you look like while swimming and developing an individually tailored drill progression to improve your technique.

Cost - $75. Includes written report with drill recommendations and cd for review. Follow ups to initial analysis are discounted. 

Equipment Consultations
Equipment choices are often hard to make without outside help as many of the people you can talk to have a vested interest in your making a purchase. We keep up with recent multisport technology and are happy to discuss what is out there and what might best serve you. Whether considering bikes, training aids or an overall equipment plan, we can help.

Cost - $50 per hour
