Why Buy from Watts Ahead…?
Watts Ahead… plans are created by a coach who knows what works — and what doesn’t.
I’m Robert Ferguson, a British Cycling Level 3 coach with over a decade of experience helping real-world riders balance life, training, and performance.
These plans are practical, honest, and grounded in the same coaching principles I use with national-level riders — just simplified and reworked for everyday cyclists.
You won’t find overpromises, celebrity endorsements, or cookie-cutter nonsense.
Just quality training, designed to help you get fitter, faster, and more confident — with a modest side of dry humour to keep things fun.
