When Ride Revolution was formed, one of our primary aims was to offer high quality cycle fitness coaching for recreational cyclists. There are an abundance of coaches out there specifically targeting racers, but in our opinion a shortage of good quality coaches using modern day techniques, but aimed at helping your every day rider.
We have always done very well with recreational cyclists. Typically, around 30% of our clients are made up of riders who have no intention of racing or completing a sportive. These riders vary in age from 18 through to 70 and are fairly evenly split between genders. Although many of our coaches work with recreational cyclists, we now have two coaches; Tom and Charlie, ho solely work with these riders. You can be assured that we have the skills and experience necessary to help you get the most out of your riding, whether you are male or female and regardless of your age.
Recreational riders can fit into any of our packages, depending on their budget and the amount of weekly contact with the coach required, so please do not feel threatened by the names we have chosen for each package. We had to call them something after all! Many riders are often shocked at the fitness improvements they see through structured riding, even on very limited training time. There is no limit to how much time you must ride a week – you simply tell us what you want to improve at and how much time a week you can give us and we’ll do the rest
We appreciate that not every rider wants to pin a number on, but a large percentage would still love to be faster, stronger and have more endurance, often with limited time to train. Others simply want to add structure to their weekly riding. Does this sound like you? Head over to our packages page to see the various ways we can help.
How our Cycling Coaching works
Initial Consultation
From your initial enquiry with us, our Head Coach, Jake Hales will contact you and arrange a phone appointment. We like to get a good understanding of your current situation, goals, style and general cycling history. Jake will then recommend the best RideRevolution coach for your needs, all are skilled and experienced.
Where are you at?
Your new coach will have a second, more in depth consultation and will analyse past data and training in depth as well as conducting tests to assess your current fitness level, strengths and weaknesses. This will then form a baseline to create a plan unique to your needs to maximise your potential development.
And so it begins..
Your coach will create a personalised training plan for you, using TrainingPeaks software to set and record your sessions. After each training session, you will upload your ride data. Your coach will review your training, provide feedback and set your next block of training. All training is bespoke to each rider.
Ongoing Development
Your coach will provide regular feedback and analysis based on your training results via phone, WhatsApp & TrainingPeaks, helping you continue to progress your goals and improve performance. Training will be constantly adjusted to suit your needs and maximise your performance for your current goals.
