How our personalised online cycling coaching works

  • Get in touch with your new coach

    We pride ourselves on timely responses and good communication. Whether you're a potential new client or you've been with us for years we get back to you FAST! We send you a detailed cycling coaching questionnaire to find out more about your needs. This is structured to help you think about your goals and requirements and ensure nothing is missed out in our initial conversations. Book your free consultation here. 

  • initial cycle coaching consultation

    Depending on your location, we may meet face to face, talk on the phone or via video chat to go through the questionnaire and to make sure we haven't missed any important details. This, alongside a review of your past training and testing data if it is available, will enable us to construct your first cycle coaching plan. There is no fee for this and no obligation to sign up.

    You will also have plenty of opportunity to ask questions about the coaching process or anything you're not sure on. Again, communication is key so that we get to understand how you 'tick' and can optimise your training.

  • Your first training plan

    We aim to start you on your coaching plan within a week if they require. However, if we are exceptionally busy we may need to agree a later start time. We might also recommend some performance testing in the first instance to ensure that your training is at the right level from the very start. Your personalised cycling coaching plan will be based on the demands of your goal events, with an eye on long term development. We aim to improve on your weaknesses, especially where these are significantly limiting your development, while maintaining and improving your strengths and working within your time availability.

  • ongoing training Monitoring, performance testing and analysis

    Monitoring and feedback are essential aspects to a successful athlete-coach relationship. At the start of your cycling coaching journey, while we get to know you better, we will regularly initiate conversations to monitor your progress and adjust your training as needed. Thereafter, the frequency of feedback depends on the options you choose. We use TrainingPeaks WKO5 to analyse your training files, downloaded from your personal online TrainingPeaks account. Periodic performance testing and analysis and feedback from race performances and training sessions informs the development and progression of your coaching so you arrive in peak condition for your goal events.

  • holistic cycling performance support

    As part of your monitoring and feedback, we may suggest the addition of other training modes such as heat and strength training or examine how nutrition, bike fit or aerodynamic testing could improve your performance. We believe in working alongside other experts in cycling performance to give you the opportunity to access additional support. If we identify that you could benefit from bike fit, aerodynamic advice, nutrition, massage, Sports Psychology or have suspected medical problems we can point you to specialists. Our partners even offer deals to coached riders to help keep both rider and bike in top shape!
