If you’re serious about improving your cycling performance then you need a dedicated training plan. Many cyclists from a range of abilities use the services of professional cycling coaches. Whilst they offer a great service they can be very costly. Let me introduce MyCycling.com – an awesome new online coaching plan with training log features, articles, specialist plans such as the century ride program, community support, expert tips and advice and much, much more.
They ask for a commitment from you of at least 5 hours a week. They say this is the bare minimum to improve your cycling performance. Can’t argue there, there is no magic remedy for being a good cyclist, it takes dedication and a well structured training program.
This isn’t a free service I'm afraid, but it is just $1 (USD) to join for 5 days risk free, they also offer a 30-day money back guarantee if you’re not satisfied with the service (can’t say fairer than that really). Why should you pay? Well, what you get in return for your money is online training support from 4 expert cyclists, between them they offer the following credentials…
- Selection for two Olympic Games
- Three Commonwealth Games (3 medals)
- Competition in Eight World Championships
- Winners of 8 National titles
- Holders of 18 National Records
- 24 National Championship Medals
- Competition in 24 World Cup Events
- 15 years of Professional Racing
- Coaching of the Australian National Team
- Australian Level 2 Certified Coaching Certificate and work with over five national team coaches and their programs, programs that have coached athletes like Robbie McEwen, Michael Rogers and Cadel Evans.
Nuff said there. The trainers come from the Stockwell family, do a quick google search for Blair Stockwell and you will see that they are the real deal.
What these guys offer you is on-demand training programs which include programs for beginners, intermediates and advanced riders. They are mostly 10 week courses, there is also a century ride program which looks tempting indeed.
They also offer a whole load of videos and resources which support your training, including proper stretching routines etc.
How do you monitor your progress? Well, they even have an awesome online training log so that you can really get down to the details of your cycling performance.
Is It For Me?
If you are looking for some extra motivation, there’s nothing quite like paying for a service to make you keep something up. If you are looking to take your performance to the next level then you should definitely consider this or something like it.
