MONEY
I charge £120 per month for a one to one coaching service. I don't charge a set up fee, extra for benchmark testing or expect you to enter into a long term contract. I work month to month and, if you don't like it or it doesn't work for you, we stop. Simple. If you want to try before you buy, I'll happily prescribe 2 weeks worth of training so you can get a taste for it at no cost and with no obligation.
Training Peaks is a free for riders to use unless you choose to upgrade to a premium package - I get all the analytics from the TP Coaching package so there's it no need for you to pay for it too. I'm your coach so, within reason, you can contact me when and how you want, you're not limited to 15 minute phone calls or a certain number of emails . You won't get palmed off to somebody else, you'll get me. I'm qualified, insured, experienced and effective - have a look at the testimonials.
TIME
For one to one coaching to have an impact, you'll need a minimum of 5 hours per week to invest in to training. The more time you have, the more we can do. You will also need the resolve to stick to a training regime and to develop a relationship with me that will allow us to adapt it as we go along to cope with real life getting in the way of your training.
EQUIPMENT
Ideally you'll need a power meter and a heart rate monitor: using power measurement in training and racing is the best way to achieve sustainable performance improvements, it's even more effective used in conjunction with heart rate monitoring. Some training is done indoors, particularly over the winter period, so you'll need a turbo trainer and/or rollers. You don't need a 'smart' turbo or to be hooked up to Zwift or the like although most of the session I prescribe are downloadable if you want to use one of these
