HOW IT WORKS
Most riders look for a coach to make them faster. Fundamentally this means a training prescription detailing how long, how hard and how often you should ride to achieve your goals.
The requirements of an 18 year old aspiring female racing cyclist are going to be different from those of a 60 year old man wanting to tackle a 100 mile sportive or attempting Lands End to John O'Groats but both are going to need a well thought out, deliverable plan to get their riding from where it is now, to where they want it to be. In practice, each training session is delivered via Training Peaks, a calendar based online and mobile software platform, giving the protocol of the session. Power, heart rate and other data from each session is analysed, feedback given and future sessions re-planned if necessary. Training Peaks is free to download and use.
Whilst a physiological training prescription is the core of a training program, there is much more to improving as a rider. One of the things that makes cycling such a varied and engaging sport is that is has technical, tactical and psychological challenges most other sports don't have.
