Section 3: Coaching and support requirements
Ideally, what do you want a coach to do for you?
*
Describe the types of training you most enjoy and the ones you enjoy the least.
*
Are you family supportive of your cycling and your ambitions in the sport?
*
Are you interested in exploring sports psychology and mental coaching techniques to improve your performance?
*
The mind is a powerful tool for training & racing when it's focused on the task at hand. It's often the difference between good and exceptional performance but can also hold you back and stop you from being the best you can be. It's a fascinating area and worth exploring.
Equipment: Bike details. Do you have access to a turbo trainer, rollers, a heart rate monitor, a power meter etc? Do you have access to a computer/Smart phone & internet? Please give details
*
Do you want to connect on social media?
*
Some riders want to keep their coaching confidential, others want their achievements celebrated a little more publicly. If you want to connect on Instagram, Strava, Twitter & LinkedIn let me know. If you want to go under the radar, that's cool with me too.
Section 4: Current training
Do you have a Training Peaks account or training diary and do you have up to date maximum heart rate or power data you use for training? If so, please give details.
*
If you use Garmin Connect, Strava, Training Peaks or a similar application to store your training data, I'll be able to analysis your current training patterns and suggest an appropriate training protocol. If not, Training Peaks is a free app that I can send you to link to.
In a normal week, expressed in hours, how much time do you have realistically available to train?
*
Any regular weekday evenings or Saturdays and Sundays when you are not available to train on a regular basis. Things change and training plans adapt to your needs, not the other way around. Having an idea of how your training can fit in to your life helps me plan a suitable protocol for you.
Anything else?
*
Any other comments or questions, pop them in here please.
Thanks for doing this, I know there's a lot of things to think about here and it's fine to leave blanks, if necessary we can work on it together. The more I can find out about you and your cycling at this point, the better I can plan your training and the sooner we can get stuck into the good stuff!
