Welcome to The Cycle Coach training services, the first step to starting a coaching package is to decide upon the level of support required. We currently offer 2 coaching packages (Level 1 & 2) as outlined below:
What is Level 1 coaching?
The Level 1 coaching programme is designed for those people who require a structured programme and a lower level of contact with their coach. You are provided with an individualised programme and regular weekly feedback.
What's included:
-
Profiling and goal setting
-
Annual plan
-
Mesocycles delivered in 3/4 week blocks
-
Unlimited number of detailed sessions each week
-
Training programme reviewed each week
-
Sports science testing session 3 times per year for bike performance
How does the Level 1 coaching service work?
Based upon an initial consultation and sports science testing session we will produce a general plan for the year which will then be broken into smaller blocks of 4 weeks each. The initial 4 weeks of your programme will be uploaded to your online coaching account and at the end of each 4 week period, the next block is provided. Each day you must log into your account, read and carry out the training for that day. Following completion of each day, you must then provide feedback to your coach by adding text to the online diary and rate yourself related to fatigue, stress and general well-being. Your training diary is reviewed every Friday by your coach and you will receive an email with comments, feedback and suggestions.
You will visit the sports science testing lab 3 times per year in total to allow us to monitor your progress and re-set your goals and individual training zones. Following your first visit we will establish a clear set of action points which will focus on your personal weaknesses. At each subsequent testing session we will compare your fitness against the original set of results and adapt your action points and training focus as required.
What is Level 2 coaching?
The Level 2 coaching programme is designed for those people who require a structured programme and greater contact with their coach. In addition to the features outlined for Level 1 coaching support, you will have regular access to your coach for support and guidance via telephone and email.

Profiling and goal setting

Mesocycles delivered in 3/4 week blocks

What's your commitment as an athlete?
You will agree to keep you training diary up to date to provide constant feedback for the coach and provide all of the information required for accurate programme planning. It is your responsibility to notify the coach of any events, commitments or change of plans in advance of them preparing your next training block. The Cycle Coach training system is proven to gain results for athletes of all ability level but the key to success is consistent training and completing the highest possible percentage of training sessions on the agreed plan. Our role as cycle coaches is to help you remove potential barriers and assist you towards this goal.
Prices for coaching services:
The cost of Level 1 coaching is £45 per month and Level 2 coaching is £60 per month which is payable by standing order only. The minimum time period for coaching is 12 months.
