For busy or retired career professionals who want real results and want to be leaner, fitter and faster. I coach consultants, IT professionals, managers, doctors, lawyers, airline pilots, company directors, finance professionals, accountants, architects, marketing and sales professionals, and business owners. Infact anyone that's got a successful professional career, or retired from one, and wants to see that translated into their cycling performance. Whether you’re preparing for a Gran Fondo or European cycling tour, chasing a PB at a local event, or aiming for state, national or international races, I’ll build a plan that fits your life. Short on time? You’re in the right place.

Most clients start with around 4–8 hours/week. Some many need up to 12+ hours/week on some weeks depending on how big their cycling goals are and where they are in their training block. Weekdays are typically 30–75-minute sessions; weekends may include a longer ride when your schedule allows. I adjust your training volume based on your availability, where you're at in your seasonal plan and the goals you want to achieve.

You don’t need to be a pro cyclist to benefit from coaching. In fact, busy riders often get more value because time is limited, and every session has to count. I design your plan around work, family and travel, integrate your bunch rides and online training platforms like Zwift, and give you clear, do-able sessions that build fitness without burning you out.

With 4–8 hours a week, I’ll turn limited time into targeted gains through personalisation. That's sessions matched to your current fitness, goals and preferences. You’ll train consistently and safely, avoiding the common trap of over, or under doing it, so you arrive fresher for key rides and events.

Day-to-day workouts are simple and purposeful, so there’s no guesswork about what to do or why.

I’ll track progress with regular benchmarks (and optional INSCYD testing) to guide the next step, adjusting as life happens so momentum never stalls. Most of my clients are career professionals, not elite racers, who want to feel stronger, ride faster and enjoy the bike with confidence. If that’s you, coaching is a smart shortcut to better cycling performance.

Right now, probably not. Custom coaching works best when you’ve got the time and headspace for consistent training, fortnightly check-ins, and recovery. If you’re in the thick of young-family life, your priority should be at home. Adding a high-touch program can create pressure you don’t need. I recommend using a simple pre-built training plan and aiming for steady consistency instead. When family life settles and you can reliably commit to your training, I’ll be here to integrate everything and help you progress with a fully customised program and training support.

Fair question—I’m sceptical of remote coaching done badly, too. I’ve been delivering high-quality remote coaching since 2007 and have a track record of results with busy professionals across time zones. Most of my clients are in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, with others based in Europe.

What makes it work is a tight feedback loop and objective data: I set clear goals, build a plan that fits your week, and then adapt it using what your ride files actually show so there are not guesses.

Day to day, your sessions run through TrainingPeaks and your head unit/app. I review your power, heart rate and cadence, track load and recovery (TSS/CTL/ATL/TSB), and use regular benchmarks, plus INSCYD testing when appropriate, to spot limiters and tune the next block.

Fortnightly calls and unlimited email keep communication simple and fast, so we adjust before problems appear.

Skills aren’t ignored just because we’re remote. On request, or when needed. I’ll send targeted video guidance on pedaling technique and practical video training modules that cover bunch riding, descending, and cornering.

Yes. I tailor load, recovery and fuelling across the menstrual cycle and for peri/post-menopause. That includes timing key sessions, adjusting recovery, and integrating strength for bone and muscle health so you keep progressing safely. I keep up to date with the current research and ensure that my training reflects the specific training requirements for woman.

Short answer is no. My coaching service is designed for adult cyclists, typically aged 35 and over. Junior cyclists often benefit most from a local coach (usually who is working with the club that they belong to) who can work closely with them in person, providing the one-on-one support they need at that stage. For this reason, I don’t usually take on juniors, except under very special circumstances.

I start with your goals, current fitness, event dates, and your work/family schedule. Then I create your personalised training plan. Your plan is updated as you progress through it based on your progress and as your calendar shifts. There are no cookie cutter programs, ever. It's fully customised and updated as you work through it.

Absolutely. Sessions are scaled to your current level, with extra attention to recovery so you improve safely and steadily. I track your build via performance management metrics from your data to ensure that you're cycling through progressive loading and unloading of your training volume through build/recovery weeks. This ensures that you start seeing results within the first four weeks.

Absolutely, in fact I highly recommend a customised training program for shift or FIFO workers because standard, cookie cutting program just won't fit your schedule. A customised program can be specifically tailored to your work schedule and ensures that you maximise your training time.

Yes. I build out your program during travel periods using what you actually have: hotel gyms, minimal kit, indoor trainers, or quick outdoor sessions and based around the available time. You’ll always have the best sessions that are optimised around your travel commitments.

I’m a full-time cycling coach, not someone coaching on the side. Since 2007 I’ve delivered high-quality remote coaching with a proven track record, working with busy professionals across the US, UK, Australia, and Europe, and coaching riders up to UCI World level. That breadth means I’ve seen a lot of data across many cycling disciplines, road, climbing, Gran Fondos, tours, time trial, gravel, and I know what actually works when time is tight.

A local coach may know your roads and bunch culture, which can be handy, but they often work within a smaller sample of riders and scenarios. I bring a broader experience based on reviewing thousands of ride files across time zones, seasons, and event types to profile your physiology beyond FTP and prescribe precisely targeted training.

Your plan is updated from objective data (power, HR, cadence, TrainingPeaks metrics) and real-world constraints (work travel, family, weather), so every session has a clear job and fits your life.

You won’t miss out on skills, either. When needed, I provide video coaching on pedalling technique and practical modules for bunch riding, descending, and cornering, so you build speed and confidence.

Bottom line: if you want consistent, measurable progress without burnout, you’ll benefit from a coach who does this all day, every day, has global experience (including riders at UCI World level), and uses data-driven methods to tailor the work to you.

Absolutely. I focus on fuelling for the work required, timing carbs and protein around key sessions, and making simple, sustainable tweaks. No extreme diets, just performance-first habits that support body-composition change. And it's approached differently depending on whether you are male or female.

Structure isn’t just for racers. It helps makes every scheduled training ride count for Gran Fondos, European tours, local events, or simply feeling stronger and enjoying the bike more. You’ll know exactly what to do, why it matters, and how your favourite bunch or online rides fit the plan.

Helpful but not mandatory. The minimum requirements are that you have a heart rate monitor and a bike computer with a cadence meter. Ideally, you'll also have a power meter and/or smart trainer. But I'll work with whatever you’ve got.

Apps prescribe; a coach interprets and adapts. I prioritise the right sessions for your week, adjust when life happens, hold you accountable, and troubleshoot limiters (fitness, fuelling, skills). I’ll also use advanced tools like INSCYD (if required) to target the exact adaptations you need. Bottom line, your get better results, more quickly if you work with me.

I coach in twelve week blocks with no lock-in beyond each block; many clients stay for years for the structure, accountability and steady progress, while others complete a single twelve week block to hit a specific goal and then continue on their own. At eleven weeks you can choose to renew for another 12 weeks, pause, or finish up. It's up to you.

It’s your call. Some clients train mostly outdoors, others prefer the indoor trainer, and many mix both. It often shifts with the seasons, more indoor sessions in winter, more outdoor rides in summer. Because your program is fully customised, I’ll match it to your routine, equipment, and training preferences.

Yes. I've had a lot of succsess with triathletes and multisport athletes. I coach the cycling component and integrate your running, swimming, and strength training into one cohesive plan. If you already have a run or swim coach, I’ll coordinate with them; if not, I’ll add placeholders in TrainingPeaks at the right times so your total weekly load, key sessions, and recovery stay balanced. I’m not a qualified running or swimming coach, so I won’t prescribe detailed run/swim sessions, but your calendar will show where they go, how hard your ride should be that day, and how everything fits together. I'll use your device data across all sports to fine-tune cycling intensity, manage fatigue, and taper smartly for your event or race days.

Yes. Your sessions are delivered via TrainingPeaks and work seamlessly with the major platforms. On the day, just open the scheduled workout in your chosen app or head unit and press start then start peddling. The training session intervals, targets, and recovery efforts are already optimised to your zones.

Absolutely. I believe bunch riding is a vital part of cycling, for skills, safety awareness, and the social side. So yes, I'll build your regular bunch rides into your program. I’ll give them a clear purpose (endurance, tempo, skills/sprint practice) with simple guidelines, then if needed, adjust your other key workouts and recovery around them. Before key events or taper weeks, I may tweak the bunch ride (or briefly replace them) to protect your performance, but the default is: keep the ride you love and make it work towards your goals.

I deal with this a lot. Many clients come to me because their performance has stalled. I'll diagnose the why behind the stall and prescribe focused blocks of training that will restart your progress and keep your building towards your goals.

Absolutely. Zwift and other indoor group rides are brilliant for motivation and competitiveness. I’ll schedule them as sessions with a clear purpose (endurance, tempo, race-specific intensity), tune the rest of your week around them and make sure that they fit your overall training goals and seasonal plan.

No. A free TrainingPeaks account is perfectly fine. I can still deliver your plan, see all your uploaded ride files, and analyse your performance metrics (power, heart rate, TSS, IF, etc.). I’ll handle the planning and analysis so there is no need to upgrade to a paid version.

Yes. I have worked with many clients that are recovering from or working through injury. I build out a program that will help manage this and work with the guidance from your medical professionals (doctors, physios, strength and conditioning coach) to customise your training plan appropriately and adjust it based on how your injury is responding to your training.

On week 11 you can renew for another 12 weeks, pause, or wrap up with a clear self-management plan and maintenance template. Your TrainingPeaks history stays with you, and I’ll outline the next steps either way.

We’ll have fortnightly coaching calls and you get unlimited email support. Which, I aim to reply within 48 hours during the working week (Australia/Adelaide time).

Yes. I integrate strength and mobility sessions (typically 3 x 20 minute session per week) to support climbing, durability, and injury resilience.

Regular benchmarks (e.g., threshold/VO2 markers, key climb repeats), plus TrainingPeaks metrics (TSS, CTL, TSB, IF). I track both fitness and fatigue trends and adjust them to ensure proper build and load/unload cycles to avoid over training problems.

Most clients feel improvements in 3–4 weeks and see measurable gains by 6–8 weeks. Bigger changes (body composition, threshold power) typically compound over 12+ weeks.

Yes. I’ll integrate cross-training and strength so it complements, not conflicts with, your cycling goals if you need me to.

If you're unable to train, then let me know and I can pause your program then build you back with a smart return-to-training protocol. No lost momentum just adapted progress with a soft start when you're ready to resume. Of if it's only a minor interruption I'll adjust your program as required.

Yes. I provide advanced VO₂max metabolic profiling as an INSCYD partner. It goes far beyond an FTP test by mapping how you produce power and use fuel, so we can target the real limiters to your performance.

What you get (high level):

Full engine profile: VO₂max (aerobic capacity), VLamax (glycolytic power), and both aerobic/anaerobic thresholds—not just a single number.

Fuel usage by intensity: Precise fat vs carbohydrate burn (g/hr) across your power curve → smarter fuelling for training and events.

Actionable training targets: Exact interval powers, durations, and recovery to raise VO₂max, lower VLamax (if needed), and improve lactate clearance.

Race & pacing insights: Time-to-exhaustion modelling and pacing guidance for key climbs, TTs, and Gran Fondos.

Remote: It's completed with a power meter or smart trainer

Why choose this over FTP testing?
FTP gives one threshold estimate. It can’t tell you why you’re limited, how you’re burning fuel, or which system to train. INSCYD testing reveals the underlying physiology (aerobic vs glycolytic balance, substrate use), so we can prescribe targeted training and fuelling that delivers faster, more predictable results—especially for busy professionals who need every session to count.

Not at all. You ride; I analyse. Your files auto-sync, I review the metrics, and you get clear next steps in plain English. If you enjoy data we can go deeper—but it’s optional, not required.

I can provide an alternative indoor training session for you to do that will match the training intent indoors (e.g., turn an endurance ride into a time-equivalent steady tempo or an interval set on the trainer). If you don’t have a smart trainer, I’ll give clear power/HR/RPE targets you can follow on a “dumb” trainer. You can also swap rides around during the week to work around bad weather. And if you need help then you just email me and I can adjust the program for you. Safety first; consistency always.

Often, yes. As an INSCYD partner, I can profile VO₂max, VLamax, thresholds, and fuel usage (fat vs carbs) to target the actual limiter and dial in pacing and fuelling, far beyond a single FTP number. It’s optional, but especially valuable for busy professionals who need every session to count.

Complete the short application. You can fast-track by answering a brief survey (about 2 minutes). If it’s a fit, you’ll go straight to booking a call; if not, you’ll still receive helpful resources to guide your training.
