I'm Rich Smith, I established RideFast Coaching in 2015 to provide passionate enthusiast cyclists with physiologically effective and psychologically sustainable training. My goal is to help my riders achieve resilient fitness improvements alongside enhancing well-being and enjoyment of the sport.
I am a British Cycling Level 3 Road & Time Trial coach & Level 2 Track coach based in the UK. I have a First Class (Hons) degree and an MSc (Distinction) in psychology specialising in motivation, competition and affective/emotional states. I see mindset as a significant performance differentiator and design my training programmes focused on athlete sustainability and long term values based goals. I'm interested in & care about the people I coach and do not limit athlete/coach communication.
My riders tend to be masters or veterans (40-75 years old), both male and female, national and international, who what to improve their fitness without being ragged. Some of my riders race (top 10 UK national age group time triallists, UCI Fondo qualifiers), others target challenge events and/or health and fitness. You don't have to race to benefit from my coaching. If you need support, encouragement and a 'thinking' style of coaching, I might be a good fit for you. There is a good selection of testimonials on my website.
I have completed the UKSCA Foundation course in Strength & Conditioning and can provided workouts to fit around a cycling program if required.
I made the decision not to coach professional riders and those under the age of 18. I coach people who have made the decision to train and ride, not had the decision made for them.
