After many years of cycling and lots of very random training sessions, I met with John after experiencing his expertise doing my bike fit as I had heard that he was one of the most experienced coaches around……..and I’m glad I did!
There is a difference between a ‘trainer’ and a ‘coach’ and John falls slap bang in the Coach model……..he is vastly experienced in what to do, how to do it, when to do it but what’s important for me is WHY I do it and the implications of what I do!
John consulted with me to fully understand what I was looking for and why and explained what he could do for me.
As well as the very structured, accurate and ongoing programme that I follow that is absolutely based on me as an individual, John offers support and advise on an ongoing basis and motivates me both on tough days and the good days and always openly provided feedback and progression goals.
I’ve set personal best times across all distances of TT’s this year (10, 25, 50 and 100) and my progression is clearly mapped and monitored so I dont have to think……..John does all the work and its fantastic so I can just concentrate on training! The testing that we go through backs up the plans too with facts and figures which is the science and analysis that John monitors.
John is also very adaptable to what I want to do and always makes sure he knows what I have coming up and amends any plans if needs be.
By far this is the best thing I have ever done for my cycling and I only wish I had done it sooner!
