In this course, Dan Baker will take you through the fundamentals of velocity based training. From having one of the first contemporary daily training environment velocity and power measurement devices to publishing dozens of papers on the topic, Dan will share both the art and science of velocity based training using combination of applied research and experience. Dan will share many real world use cases from his nearly 30 years of creating and using much of what we know as contemporary velocity based training. Coaches will leave with the ability to apply the learnings from this course immediately into their practice.
