Tim Phillips   Catenary Cycle Coaching

I am an experienced cyclist taking part in road and off-road sportives, time trials, road and circuit/crit races, hill climbs, cyclocross and track. In time-trialling I have achieved World Championships AG qualification and national Open TT podiums. I am experienced in coaching athletes from beginner to national and international competition. I have coached endurance athletes for sportives/audaxes like l’Etape du Tour, Marmotte, Haute Route, Ride London, Fred Whitton Challenge, Dartmoor Classic, Coast to Coast and Ride Across Britain (RAB)/Land’s End to John O’Groats (LEJOG). On the racing side I coach athletes competing at regional and national level in road, criterium, track, TT, CX and MTB, including athletes from junior up to veterans of 60+ (all of which have different challenges). On the multisport side I’m a seasoned coach of triathletes and duathletes competing at international AG level from supersprint to Ironman 70.3, including working with run/swim coaches in parallel.

I have a scientific background, with a physics degree and PhD, so the numbers-based side of training, performance and analysis come naturally to me. I have immersed myself in athlete physiology, nutrition, power-based training and aerodynamics. I am also practiced in developing people over many years of management, consultancy and running my own business. I believe I can give you the benefit of my learning, qualifications and experience to help you get the most out of yourself as an athlete.
