CYCLIDE becomes the "Official Training Partner" of the Oasis Rock 'n' Roll Montreal Marathon & ½ Marathon

MONTREAL, Aug. 5, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - CYCLIDE inc. and the Oasis Rock 'n' Roll Montreal Marathon & ½ Marathon have entered a partnership agreement that makes the CYCLIDE training platform the official training program of the Oasis Rock 'n' Roll Montreal Marathon & ½ Marathon.

The CYCLIDE training platform (www.cyclide.org) is used to generate customized training plans for individual runners. These customized plans are perfectly adapted to individual profiles and web-based, thus enabling runners to follow their training and progress on a daily basis.

CYCLIDE training programs are adapted to runners of all levels and for all types of objectives: whether to complete a first race as a novice runner or to improve or optimize running performances in the case of seasoned runners.

A PLAN FOR EACH RUNNER. "No two runners share the same profile in terms of aerobic capacity, endurance, trainability or starting level. Runners therefore need individualized training intensities adapted to their individual profiles. That is the innovative idea behind the Cyclide platform," points out Daniel Mercier, CYCLIDE's president and designer.

Cyclide training plans are based on two main principles:

• EACH RUNNER IS UNIQUE: Each plan must therefore be unique and perfectly adapted to the runner's potential and abilities.
• TRAINING BETTER: Runners should train in their optimal effort zone to achieve better results while avoiding overtraining or undertraining.

"We are proud to offer a specialized and innovative service to help prepare the runners registered in one of the Oasis Rock 'n' Roll Montreal Marathon & ½ Marathon events to experience all the enjoyment of running next September 22," states Dominique Arsenault, Director of Communications for the event.

A VIRTUAL TRAINER TO GUIDE YOU

Because of daily constraints, runners do not always manage to perfectly follow their training plans. The VIRTUAL TRAINER accompanies you while you train and adjusts your training plan according to how you feel. Your training plan will therefore always be optimally adjusted and adapted to your physical fitness level. The AJUST function is exclusive to Cyclide's application. A smart system was programmed to adjust the intensity of your sessions based on your training results and how you feel while you train.

Cyclide's application is easy to access using a simple and user-friendly web-based platform.
