1980s Team 7-11 training video - where Chris Carmichael got his start

Click on the top of the video to take it to YouTube


A poster named longbeachgary posted this one over in C&V and since we have guys in here making themselves do intervals I thought I'd post it in here. Some of you folks might remember some of the people featured.

It's a 47 minute basic cycling training video from the '80s 7-11 pro cycling team. Lots of commentary and tips by 5 time Olympic gold medalist speed skater and 7-11 team rider Eric Heiden. Also tips from Jeff Pierce, Doug Shapiro, Ron Kiefel, Alex Stieda, appearances by Dale Stetina and team founder & manager Jim Ochowicz. And features Inga Thompson/ Benedict among other ladies with tips. Aaand one Susanna Steuerer does a leg self massage instructional piece at the 40 minute mark.

It actually has some pretty good basics in here even for some of you who forgot more than I know. It includes some fitting and nutrition basics as well as some general climbing advice, bike handling, paceline riding, and interval basics with some short sprint interval tips towards the end.
