How Our Remote Cycling Coaching Works
Our coaching process is fully remote, structured and designed to deliver long-term performance improvement:
- Initial consultation: We assess your goals, training history, available time and riding conditions.
- Performance profiling: Analysis of power data, aerobic capacity and fatigue response.
- Bespoke training plan: Delivered via TrainingPeaks with progressive structure and clear intensity targets.
- Ongoing review and feedback: Weekly data analysis, plan adjustments and direct coach communication.
- Globally proven methodology: All plans use Ride Revolution’s internationally trusted coaching systems.
High-quality cycle coaching built around intelligent training, clear structure, and professional judgement. We focus on how you train, review progress regularly, and adapt your programme to support sustainable fitness, consistency, and long-term performance development.
Coaching that goes beyond training into performance and execution. This package adds race planning, decision-making, and performance context, helping riders focus and apply fitness effectively, performing better when all the elements come together in competitive race situations.
Strategic coaching delivered directly by Ride Revolution’s principal coach, Jake Hales. This programme focuses on high-level decision-making, prioritisation, and long-term performance direction, offering experienced oversight and clarity for athletes who value judgement as much as training.
Bespoke Performance Projects is an opened ended package designed for situations that don’t fit neatly into monthly coaching. This might include short-term race preparation, event-specific planning, advisory work, or targeted performance support for entire teams or individuals.
