Already an experienced racer on the Enduro World Series, Cole started crushing his offseason prep with myself and back in January. 

We could see from Ramp testing with that he had a solid aerobic capacity, but was lacking power in the pins, so we used Forcedecks to gain insight to his force and power qualities too.

After 3 months of work, Cole brought his isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) force up by over 400 Newtons (in relative terms, 3.35 N more per kilo of bodyweight). His time to peak-force shortened by a quarter of a second (so he’s faster to produce the force). 

He was also able to express this dynamically, improving his Countermovement jump height by 24% and adding just shy of 800 watts to his peak power. 

So what does this have to do with riding bikes? 

In 2021 Cole finished the EWS in 24th overall, with a highest individual round of 19th. 

This season he currently sits 5th with 2 rounds to go, his highest finish: 6th place in Whistler. 

And he’s just getting started. 

If you’re into enduro….or bikes… or just going fast, do your results a favour next season. Get the offseason prep done.

Stoked for this guy on his rehab from ACL reconstruction. Today was a progress check and the lights are turning green. Well done mate.
