I am an example of someone going from a couch potato to competing against pro and elite level athletes. Over the last 10+ years, I have competed in triathlons and running events but my main love and focus is cycling. During this time, I have had to juggle kid activities, family, work, training, racing, and all the other stresses that life throws at us. I know what it takes to get the most quality training out of the least amount of time.
I now enjoy using my experience and knowledge to help other athletes. My belief is that for an athlete to improve, they need to follow three core principles when it comes to training.
(1) CONSISTENCY. In order to see improvement, you must first train on a regular basis. Without consistent training you will soon lose fitness and quickly struggle just to keep the same minimal level of fitness. But just riding the same group rides every week isn't enough. You will eventually plateau unless you apply more training stress to your body
(2) QUALITY. All training is not created equal. Therefore it is critical to have quality training at the right time that provides enough stimulus to generate improvement.
(3) STRUCTURE. There is a balance with each athlete on how much training stress and rest that is needed to perform at the highest level. This is unique to each athlete based off experience, current fitness, life stress, and race goals.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help you reach your full potential.
