RACEDAYRUSH.com Race day excitement in everyday training

We've slugged it out in some amazing races.  Recently, we've been filming them to create RaceDayRush.  Living in Canada, and at times being limited to training inside, is what brought us to the concept.  With race plates and cameras; we are out there toughing it out just like you; trying to beat personal bests and each other.

This place isn't for 10 minute YouTube videos.  You won't be distracted by cute little cats playing with yarn balls or other suburban mishaps like people falling off ladders.  RaceDayRush is for determined competitors.   Register now.

We workout using this website.  It's that simple.  You are on a bike trainer or a treadmill.  Or both.  This site provides you with cool footage to keep you engaged and focused.

Check out the race highlight video section.  Watch them as you warm up.  Get ready to race.  Then select your race discipline and enjoy.  It's that easy. 

As a member and a racer, we recommend your video screen to be at least 3 to 6 feet away from your fitness equipment.  Having your screen too close is like being too close to an HD television screen.  For optimal viewing experience, keep your distance from your monitor or television.

Installing DivX Web Player

Your browser should try and install DivX web player automatically.  The pop up may be blocked so you'll need to allow it to go through.  We have tested this site with Chrome, Safari, Opera, Firefox and Internet Explorer.  For the latest version of the webplayer, you can also visit www.divx.com  to download.

Special note for Mac users:  Intel based Macs are supported with DivX 7.  We are finding some installation issues with Divx embedded in Safari once the Snow Leopard upgrade has been completed.  We recommend you use Firefox.  Older G5 Macs require DivX 6.  Since DivX no longer supports G5 Macs, you will need to google a downloadable file.

Using DivX Web Player

RaceDayRush.com has chosen DivX compression technology for maximum performance.  For optimum playback, there are a number of settings you can adjust in order to suit your internet connection speeds and processor strength, hard disk space etc.

By right clicking on a DivX window, you can launch preferences.

Click on the second tab, download cache, you can make adjustments about how much of the video the computer will store on your hard disk in order to maximize the playback.  512MB is the default minimum, we suggest you increase this if you find you have 'buffer' issues with playback.  Also, consider increasing the number of days the cache is stored on your computer if you plan on visiting the site frequently to train.

Studio Series adds the element of real GPS recorded elevation profile changes in to the race.  Actual climbs and decents were recorded during races and are used as the foundation for the interval training exercises.  The table below illustrates the rate of perceived exertion table with practical examples as well as comparative heart rate zones for better references to effort.

Most of all, race hard and enjoy !!!
