Monthly Training Tip
As we get closer to spring, early season racing and training starts to ramp up for both cyclists and runners. Local B and C priority races are a great way to get a jump start on improving top end fitness, or in other words, improve power output and speed. It is very important to balance these early season events with a fair amount of endurance training in zones 2 and 3, as too much intensity training in zones 4-5 and above, along with early season races can lead to plateaus and burn out when the important race events take place, usually mid to late summer. Around 6-8 weeks out from your priority event of the season, that's the time to drop most of the zone 2-3 training and focus on hard efforts, zones 4,5 and above, several times a week, so that you can be in peak form leading into your main event.

Frequently Asked Questions
What level of cyclist do you coach?
We work with all levels of athletes, from beginner to elite, of all ages. We will work with anyone who is dedicated to training and focused on goals.
What equipment is needed to work with the programs?
The minimum equipment needed is a heart rate monitor and a GPS unit that tracks your training routes. A power meter is the next piece of equipment that we use and when combined with heart rate data, provides a full picture of training and fitness.
Is strength training included?
Yes, we include strength workouts in every program. For all coached athletes we dial in strength training needs individually.
Do workouts sync with my bike computer and indoor trainer?
Yes, we have structured workouts that sync with bike computers such as a Garmin or Wahoo, and upload to online programs like Zwift, Trainer Road and more.
How do you communicate with your athletes?
We communicate however you like to communicate, whether that is via text messages, phone calls, emails, apps such as zoom or a combination of it all.
Why do I need a personal cycling coach?
If you are looking for quick and personalized answers about training, along with quick and personalized adjustments to your training plan, then hiring a coach is for you. A personal coach offers a far different training experience compared to computer generated plans. A coach is a person you can speak to, to help you manage both the mental and physical side of training and racing.
What type of cyclists and athletes do you coach?
We coach endurance cyclists who train for mountain bike, gravel, cyclocross, road and stage race events. We also work with runners, triathletes, adventure racers, and other multi sport athletes.
