Cobbled Coaching

09/04/2022

Have you been inspired by the Belgian Classics? Excited for the start of Paris-Roubaix in a few weeks? Has this made you more driven to reach and exceed your goals more than ever before? Then this might be for you…

Behind closed doors, Cobbled Coaching has been working with a select few Performance Athletes that have embarked on their journey of coaching and mentorship. We use all our resources in order to provide the most in-depth and analytic approach to training whilst still incorporating our very own subjective and objective method in order to maximise every element of our athletes’ lives.

With access to nutritionists, strength and conditioning coaches as-well as sports scientists, we have the capability to help you in all areas of your performance both on and off the bike.

An exciting opportunity has come up where 2 places are available for performance athletes looking to achieve their goals in 2022 and beyond.

Interested? Send through a brief summary to our head coaches email: [email protected] with details as to your current training situation, as-well as your goals and ambitions for 2022 and beyond and we will be in touch with you in the coming days.

Insightful day out today with Nicola Lovell racing at Odd Down Sports Ground Winter Series. A two up TT for the majority of the race.

Nic finished in🥈 place but the most important thing is that she learnt and we can improve to work on her weaknesses next time.

IMPORTANT ‼️
👉🏼 With our athletes we have really started to emphasise reflective feedback and how important it is to learn from every race. We like to do ‘two stars and a wish’ where riders are able to identify two things they did right in the event and one thing they wish to improve next time… by doing this, we can really make sure our athletes and learning and improving on the daily!

This 👇👇👇👇

Endurance athletes! If you’re feeling incredible Tuesday and your legs can barely make full circles on Thursday, (and your health is otherwise good), you should definitely look into your carbohydrate intake.

It’s common for athletes consuming less than adequate carbohydrate intake to be all over the place in terms of performance consistency. Yes, fatigue happens, but to go from powerful to completely empty, is generally not how it presents.

If you’ve ever bonked, or “hit the wall,” you know the feeling of being glycogen depleted. The higher intensity efforts blow you out the back of a ride, small rollers burn the legs and you’re left with “one pace,” because accelerations just aren’t happening.

The beauty is, you can easily and quickly replenish carbohydrates over 24 hours. By paying attention to your daily intake in relation to your weekly training plan, you can plan to fuel the work optimally and overcome this inconsistency.

When it comes to making the break, attacking, sprinting, holding a high tempo, glycogen is key.

If you want to be consistent, pay attention to your carbohydrate intake, and your overall calorie intake. As for your carbohydrate of choice? That’s up to you. Personally, I love potatoes. When race terrain is technical, sports drinks and gels are convenient and quick. For longer training rides, you may like jelly sandwiches, bananas, or home-baked cookies.

Whatever you choose, choose enough of it.

Wind at your back. Eyes up the road.

As endurance athletes, it's important to have a plan to prevent bone loss. That plan includes nutrition and training. Get all the info you need here. Also available for small groups/teams.

Individualisation We believe it’s vital to individualise training. No two athletes are the same and that should always be accounted for when scheduling training. We take into account every aspect of life, meaning both subjective and objective data is used to evaluate your current training state.
