What to expect.

What to expect from your cycling coach

As an athlete, you can expect your cycling coach to deliver a training program and training structure that is designed to suit you as an individual and your goals. Our professional coaches will provide you with your daily training sessions and oversee your long term training development. You can expect your coach to:

Prepare your individual session content tailored to your needs
Provide you with downloadable training files for your Wahoo Kickr or Computrainer (eg TrainerRoad)
Provide feedback and analysis of key training sessions
Modify your training program when required
Assist you to prepare race strategies
Analyse and discuss your results following races
Recommend and propose race nutrition schedules
Provide advice and help plan proposed race schedules for the season
Respond to your emails promptly within 1-2 working days
Provide basic advice on equipment and products
Refer you to recommended health professionals when required

Email Contact
Email is the easiest, quickest and most convenient way to communicate with your coach and it allows them to respond quickly to your questions. You can expect your coach to respond to emails within 1-2 working days. Email is the best way to communicate the majority of your questions and for your coach to provide feedback.

Phone Calls
Your coach will arrange a convenient time to catch up via the phone to discuss your training program and discuss your training and racing progress. Phone calls are best arranged when preparing for major races and to discuss your training progress.

Training Program Modifications
Training programs are prepared once the coach understands the availability of the athlete during a training block. In general, your online training program will be written 2-4 weeks in advance and modifications are only required in the event of injury or illness.

What we expect from our Athletes

Our coaches put a lot of time and effort into ensuring that you have the best training programs to support you and reach your goals and your long term potential. For us to provide you with the best coaching service, there are some basic expectations that we have from our athletes. For our online athletes as well as our local athletes, we rely on being provided with regular feedback and updates on your progress. To help your coach being able to monitor and provide you with feedback, please ensure that you regularly.

Provide your coach with your availability and work / family commitments prior to their training program being prepared. Please email your coach if your training circumstances change (work hours, holidays etc) and the dates of the races you have booked.
Ask your coach if you do not understand any of the session content
Upload your training data to TrainingPeaks
Write brief training comments after each session in TrainingPeaks

Communication is the key to a good coaching relationship. We expect all our athletes to actively communicate with their coach regularly via phone and email. The best results are gained when both the coach and athlete work together with the athlete providing regular honest feedback

Understanding You.

Your cycle coach will arrange a time to contact you before preparing your training program to learn about you, your goals and to help them understand what you need from them in order to improve. Expect to have an initial and honest discussion with your coach that includes your:

Training background
Racing history
Overall racing and training goals
Major races and your goals at each race
Access to training venues (pools, gyms, running tracks, running trails etc)
Access to training equipment (Stationary wind trainers, power meters, heart rate monitors etc)
Strengths in your cycling ability
Weaknesses in your cycling ability

From there, your coach will start to understand what you need to improve and begin planning an overall program structure to guide you towards your goals.

Training Zones.

Training effectively means that you need to understand when your coach wants you to train hard and when your coach wants you to go easy. Your cycle coach will prepare and verify your training zones using a number of methods to ensure that we can accurately tell you how to train efficiently and effectively. Depending on what data your coach has access to, they may ask you to perform some testing or they may prepare your training zones off recent races or training sessions that can provide them with the data that they need:
Recent criterium or road races that indicate lactate threshold heart rate or functional threshold power (FTP)
A functional threshold test (FTP)

Your training zones will then be set up for the equipment that you have access to
Cycle Power Zones
Cycle Heart Rate Zones

Once we have your training zones set up with your TrainingPeaks account, your coach will use this information to help you train effectively and efficiently. As you improve and develop as an athlete, your training zones will be adjusted by your coach to ensure that you continue to train as effectively as possible.

Programs & Sessions.

All our cycle coaching programs are individualized to suit you and your goals and delivered using a premium online training account with TrainingPeaks. Each program is individually prepared using your availability and structured around your work, family and life commitments. The training programs can be accessed, viewed and updated from anywhere that you have an active internet connection. You can even view and analyze your own data on your smartphone within seconds of finishing a training session.
Training Program Structure
Your training program will be planned around your races and goals in a format that is easy to follow and understand. Expect your training program to be populated with individual training sessions several weeks in advance so that you can view what your coach has planned for you.

Individual Training Sessions
The content of each individual training session is descriptive and will outline:
Goals and purpose of the session
Training zones that you need to work in (Power, Heart Rate, Cadence or improving specific cycling behaviours)
Training intervals and intensity levels
Any technical aspect of your cycling behaviour that are a key component to the session (gear selection etc)

Downloadable Indoor Cycling Training Files
Athletes with a Wahoo Kickr or a Computrainer will benefit from the coach supplying their training files in a downloadable format that they can insert into software such as Trainerroad or Perfpro. This is our preferred method for supplying training sessions for indoor cycling sessions and these files will appear in the attachment tab of your TrainingPeaks session plan. For athletes on Gold and Platinum coaching accounts, these files will be uploaded directly into Trainerroad on your behalf and be ready to go when you are.
The format of our online training programs allows you to access training information easily and provides your coach with the data that he needs to provide objective feedback.

Training File Analysis.

The quality of your training sessions is important to ensure that you achieving the the goal outcome of each session. To monitor the progress and provide you with feedback, your coach will analyse your files using the training zones that are prepared within your online training account.
Each session will have key outcomes that your coach wants you to achieve and we can do this by comparing your data to the zones that we have prepared for you. Many of your sessions will contain training intervals within specific zones and your coach will check these and provide you with feedback.

General Analysis.

Your coach will analyse the quality of your sessions through the use of statistical analysis and provide you with feedback on how to improve the quality of your training session. This information will allow your coach to determine how well the session was performed and importantly, how to improve the quality of future sessions.

Indepth Analysis.

Your coach has a deep understanding of how to analyse files and will go beyond looking at the overall numbers for analysis. They do this to understand your individual behaviour and identify key areas that you can improve on. Feedback may include:
Improving power output when cycling on undulating terrain and hills
Improving gear selection when cycling and cornering
Improving cadence and minimising free wheeling
Minimising power spikes when time trialling

Our online triathlon coaches have an excellent understanding of how to analyse information and provide feedback to help you improve your training and racing behaviour. Your coach will go well beyond basic analysis and provide you with useful information that will improve the way that you train and race.

Race Strategy Preparation.

Having a strategy and a plan for each race is important to get the best result. Your coach will help you prepare for each race with a plan that suits your ability and your adversity for risk in that race. Depending on your race, your race plans from your coach may include advice on
How to best race tactically on a specific course
How to respond to tactics from other cyclists
How to position yourself for a breakaway
How to position yourself for sprinting
Power targets and limits for the bike during breakaways
Heart rate zone guides and upper limits of the bike for breakaways
Technical feedback on a specific course and how to approach challenges within the race
Guides for nutrition and hydration schedules for longer races

If you race with a power meter, your cycle coach can also provide you with accurate predictions of your bike splits if you are able to maintain the power targets they provided for endurance events such. This is incredibly useful for
Athletes racing on unfamiliar venues where it is not possible to check the course (interstate and overseas races)
Preparing nutrition schedules based on the expected bike length, particularly in long events such as Three Peaks or Alpine Challenge
Preparing athletes mentally for their expectations on the day to ensure a positive mindset

Race Analysis.

Some races go perfectly and sometimes the result isn’t what we had planned so its important to review each major race objectively with your coach. The reasons why a race was successful (or not so successful) can often be found by having an honest discussion with your coach and to combine this with objective analysis of the race data. We can analyse the power zones, heart rate, cadence and GPS details of your race to help you understand the areas that were limiting your performance and find key areas to improve. These suggestions may include
Limiting power spikes on hills and coming out of corners

Ensuring appropriate gear selection on varying terrain including hills

Improving tactical decisions and the execution of your planned tactics
