As the Director of Training for CycleOps Power, Sally Edwards’ passion is to help cyclist ride faster and stronger. There is no better way of accomplishing this passion than by using a CycleOps power meter and riding in the Power Zones.

 

Sally Edwards is a very energetic and active woman. She is the "Head Heart" and the founder and CEO of Heart Zones USA, the training and education company world renowned for using fitness technologies like monitors and meters to improve performance. She is committed to getting America fit and knows that riding is one of the best ways for America to get in shape.

 

In 1997, she and three other women won the team division of the Race Across America race riding the 3,200 miles in just 7 days. Her love for cycling continues to drive her to writing, speaking professionally, and providing training plans and programs using power meters and heart rate monitors for thousands of individuals.

 

The former Master's World Record holder in the Ironman Triathlon, as well as a World Record Holder in the Iditashoe 100-Mile Snowshoe Race, Sally has spent the last 30+ years as a professional athlete. She has competed in some of the hardest races on the planet, including numerous multi-day adventure races and the Western States 100-Mile Run (which she won).

 

From the time she ran the 1984 Olympic Marathon Trials using her heart rate monitor, Sally has been at the forefront of a revolution in fitness training. Never one to trust in guesswork, Sally combined her Master's degree in exercise physiology with her experience as a professional athlete and created the Heart Zones Training System.

 

One of the founders of the sport of triathlon (and a Triathlon Hall of Fame inductee), most of Sally's recent races have been performed in her role as the National Spokeswoman for the Danskin Triathlon Series. Sally has finished every Danskin Triathlon (as of 2006, seventeen years worth) dead last, as the "Final Finisher," inspiring more than 200,000 other women to make it across the finish line in front of her.

 

A prolific author of more than 20 books and 300 articles on fitness and sports, a motivational keynote speaker, and (with a second Master's degree in Business Administration) an entrepreneur, Sally is committed to helping others improve their health, fitness, and finish by listening to their hearts. Her most recent book title, Heart Zones Cycling published 2006 by Velo Press is for the avid cyclist who wants to train to go faster and further.
