Before & Afters
Soroush Shahriari: Jan 30, 2023 -> March 7, 2023
BEFORE
AFTER!
In 5 weeks, Soroush achieved:
+42W, a 13.5% INCREASE, in his 2min power
+85W, a 26.4% INCREASE, in his 30sec power
Before: 2min at 311W, 30sec at 322W
After: 2min at 353W, 30sec at 407W
The one major change we made to Soroush’s training, was having him ride at at easier pace more often, so that he was actually capable of producing this high power during key interval sessions.
**Note: During the same training block, Soroush placed 2nd in his category at the Rosena Ranch Circuit Race.
Nicolas Perez: Jan 29, 2024

AFTER!
In 3 months, Nico produced a +36W jump in his FTP, 235W → 271W, a 15% INCREASE.
Before: Nico’s all-out 20min power was 250W, giving us his 235W FTP.
After: During another power testing session, with a more accurate, longer FTP test, Nico was able to hold 271W for nearly 34min.
The one major change we made to Nico’s plan was implementing effective management of his training load, which required open and smooth coach-athlete communication.
**Note: The week before Nico’s April power testing, he achieved the 11th fastest bike split at Collegiate Triathlon Nations, racing for USC Triathlon.
Yash Shahani: May 7, 2024 -> May 30, 2024
BEFORE

AFTER!
In ~3 weeks, Yash improved his personal best on his favorite climb by 71 seconds (6% FASTER), and increased his power by +14W (a 4.6% INCREASE).
Before: 19:44 at 305W
After: 18:22 at 319W
The one major change we made to Yash’s plan was implementing custom workouts that fit into his packed student schedule, which allowed him to complete quality training even while completing his midterms at UCLA.
**Note: Shortly after his power testing, Yash carried his form to the Pescadero Road Race, where he placed 3rd.
