 Robin Horwitz Robin is the owner of ThresholdPower and rides anything from racing centuries to group rides. He is a USA Cycling-certified coach, a track director at the Hellyer Velodrome in San Jose, California, and vice president of United States Deaf Cycling Association. A proponent of the Powermeter training, Robin is probably one of the few people in existence who enjoys analyzing cyclists' files on a daily basis and getting into discussion on how they can improve their performance. During training camps hosted by Threshold Power, he provides full ride support and oversees camp logistics. Hunter Allen Hunter is a former professional cyclist for the Navigators team and has raced for over 17 years in Europe, South America, the U.S. and Canada. He is also the owner of the Peaks Coaching Group, Inc., and the co-developer of CyclingPeaks Software, as well as an Elite level USA Cycling Coach. He is a sought after speaker on training with power meters and a featured presenter in many of the USA Cycling Seminars. Widely known as one of the top experts in the world in coaching athletes using power meters, he has analyzed over 3000 power meter files and has gotten it down to an artful science. As the co-developer of CyclingPeaks Software, he set out to try to create CyclingPeaks Software from the viewpoint of bringing an athlete and coach closer, and also bringing a simple program to beginning Power meter users. His goal has always been to teach the athletes he coaches how to analyze their own power meter data using the latest tools. This goes hand in hand with his power meter training philosophy; that a power meter is a tool for an athlete to help discover their true weaknesses, quantitatively assess training improvements, and refocus their training plans. Steve Hill Steve calls himself “an engineer with a track cycling addiction” and openly acknowledges that he holds down his job only so he can afford to ride. He took to track cycling in 1984, “One gear, no brakes, and high speed. It’s rarely boring.” He raced in the Elite categories en route to a collegiate national championship in 1988, and then vanished from the scene. “I met my wife Stacey; life and reality intervened.” He got back into biking in 2003 to lose weight but his healthful intentions unexpectedly morphed into a comeback. Currently into his second life as a kilo specialist, Steve owns five Masters national titles, three Masters world titles, two Elite national titles in Sprint/Kilo events, and more than 30 medals in other events. He rides for the East Point Track Club and has PRs of 1:05 in the kilo and 10.5 in the 200m. He likes that world kierin champion Gordon Singleton called him “one sick puppy” and describes the Kilo as “One minute and change of lung-searing, leg-burning, eyeball-tearing pain.” |
