I am a British Cycling Level 2 Coach and a Level 2 Training Peaks Coach, currently studying for my Level 3 British Cycling qualification. I am experienced in coaching athletes from beginner to national and international competition. I coach 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). I coach athletes competing at regional and national level in road, criterium, track, TT, CX and MTB racing, including athletes from junior up to veterans of 60+ (all of which have different challenges). I’m a seasoned coach of triathletes and duathletes competing at local, national and international AG level from sprint to Ironman 70.3.

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. I have achieved TT World Championships AG qualification and national Open TT podiums.

I have a scientific background, with a physics degree and PhD, so the qualitative aspect of training and performance analysis is natural for me. My background in ‘hard’ science means I also recognise the limitations of data when applied to humans, and the importance of qualitative feedback and feelings. I have immersed myself in sports physiology and psychology, bike fitting, power-based training, aerodynamics, time trial pacing and road racing strategy.
