Cycle coaching or a cycling coach can offer the following benefits to a rider.

Accountability

Employing a coach ensures there is someone to keep you accountable for your training, making you much more likely to commit to training especially on days where time, weather and other commitments can become an obstacle.

Informed Guidance

A qualified coach undertakes research and experimentation so that you can focus on executing the training. Coaches can share their knowledge and experience with you, providing you with new and informed ways to train.

Confidence

Trust in the process is key to success in cycling. By having a long term plan that you trust and believe in you are more likely to commit to each and every session and as a result achieve your goals.

Impartiality

A coach is able to look at your performance objectively, highlighting strengths and weaknesses that you may miss in your own analysis. This will help inform your training and racing and lead to improved performance.

Many riders choose to self coach, which can lead to some improvement but often means they don't achieve quite their full potential and leave some stones unturned. Additionally, self coaching takes away time and energy which could be better focused on training.

Cycle coaching is suitable for riders of all abilities from beginner to elite for a variety of goals from fitness, sportives and racing.
