Team Update, September 28th



Headline News for Team EN



Coach Patrick Announces The New Core Diet + EN Partner Partnership Is Now Live!

Folks, after many months of planning, negotiating and coding, our partnership with the nutrition team over at The Core Diet is now 100% ready for you to use! Full details are in the wiki here, but basically you get access to their nutritionist and their proven approach to getting your body composition dialed in through your daily nutrition. The price is an additional $50/month on top of your current EN membership payment, making access to these folks really reasonable!



Coach Rich Announces Powertap Group Buy, Just in Time for Your OutSeason Pain Cave!

As you know...TeamEN has game when it comes to teaching athletes how to train and race with power. The OutSeason, with our low volume, high intensity, put watts on the bar and lift them focus, is the perfect time to get into a powermeter system. Rich has worked with Wheelbuilder.com to offer a great deal on a Powertap SL+ and Hed Belgium system, combining it with the learning tools you need to make the most out of your investment in power.

Go here to learn more about this special offer!  





From the Coaches:



The OutSeason Is Calling

The OutSeason is a magical time of year for TeamEN: the noise of racing drops away and the coaches are able to lock 500+ members into their Pain Caves with one simple goal: turn them into angry little monsters to be unleashed upon unsuspecting training partners and races in the Spring!



To get your mind right and the squad on the same page about a number of OutSeason-related topics, please visit the following links:


Membership & Training Plan Update (Read it Online Here)

Since early August, RnP have been working hard to rewrite the OutSeason, HIM and IM training plans based on your input and feedback. We are almost done and plan to publish them as PDF hardcopies in the EN Store as part of our Annual Training Plan Sale (end of September...tell your friends!).



The next step will be to add these changes to the training plans on the EN system; we’ll have the OutSeason plans done first, followed soon after by the IM and HIM plans for everyone else. We’ll also be hosting a big Trial Member push to get new folks on the Team and training as we kick off the OutSeason pretty soon. Where the hell did Summer go?
