Bronze Coaching

Bronze Coaching is aimed at those who are enthusiastic and eager to improve on their cycling abilities. Whether your goal is to increase fitness and / or control your weight or maybe you have higher goals but don't have a power meter, Bronze coaching is the ideal introduction to regular coaching.

I always start by gaining an understanding of you as a person and an athlete by:

• Building a detailed rider profile through questionnaire and interview
• Helping you define your short, medium and long-term goals
• Creating a Periodised annual plan based around your goals for the coming season
• Giving nutritional advice on achieving a healthy training diet

Next we move onto improving the effectiveness of your training by:

• Calculation of your individual heart rate training zones
• Benchmark testing to define your current fitness and your power-based training zones (if you have access to a power meter)
• Creating your bespoke training plan in TrainingPeaks

Your progress is then monitored and reviewed at key stages:

• Every month we review your progress against the plan and (with your feedback) create next month's plan
• At key stages in the season we conduct Benchmark Testing to measure your progress
• At the end of the season we conduct an End-of-Season Review to agree what worked well and what didn't and plan for the next season
