Why Hire A Coach?
Someone might tell you that hiring a bicycle coach is only for professional cyclists. That’s not exactly the case. Over the last decade, many novice to elite cyclists have hired coaches to help improve their fitness on the bike. Many of us may not ride like the pros, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want to be fast and fit. Everyone can benefit from coaching.

Many of the cyclists that I have met over the years, have been athletes at one time or another in their life. When a cyclist comes to me and asks my opinion about the benefit of coaching, I ask them, what sport did you play in high school? They might reply by saying football, basketball, track, or another sport. Then I ask if they remember their coaches and how nice it was to show up to practice, to have the workout already planned. They didn’t have to think about or plan the workouts. It was already done for them. As a cyclist, it’s nice to be able to focus on riding and let your bicycle coach worry about the workout details. A coach can –

• Prescribe personalized workouts
• Update workouts based upon your feedback
• Analyze your data from a performance test (i.e. Lactate Threshold test)
• Make sure you are not overtraining
• Make sure you have adequate rest built into your training
• Help to keep you motivated
• Provide balance
• Help you get the most out of a workout when your time is limited
• The most important thing about hiring a coach is that you, as the cyclist, would then have the benefit of an objective viewpoint.
