WHO IS RIDEFAST COACHING?
RideFast Coaching is me, Rich Smith. Hello!
I'm a British Cycling (UKCC) qualified Level 3 Road and Time Trial coach and a Level 2 Track coach and have a 1st class honours degree in Psychology. I established RideFast Coaching in 2015 to deliver one to one, rider centred training that is physiologically effective but also psychologically sustainable.
I coach both male and female riders locally, nationally and internationally. I have been involved in British Cycling's Regional and National schools of racing helping some of the very best young riders realise their potential.
I have coached the Great Britain Transplant Cycling team since 2009 and competed internationally with them for 20 years at 10 World Transplant Games winning 7 world road race titles and 8 world time trials in that period. Locally I compete as a road racer, a regular time trialist and track rider. I'm actively involved in the cycling scene as a member of Wrekinsport Cycling Club. I am based Shropshire, England.
As part of my continuing professional development, I have completed the Power: Understanding Cycling Performance workshop with British Cycling to ensure I'm getting the maximum out of those riders using power measurement. Similarly, I have completed the UK Strength & Conditioning Association foundation course so I understand to how and when strength training can make a better, more reslient cyclist.
I've learned to get as much as possible from a small engine with my own cycling and I understand the demands of riding at all levels. I've also learned how to get faster as you get older.
My aim as a coach is to get the most out of you as a rider irrespective of age, status, sex or category and, ultimately, to help you achieve your goals.
