Hot take 🔥 Your coach should speak to you! 🤯

What can 12 weeks of structured training achieve? 🚴‍♂️

Ben came to me looking to prepare as well as possible for the Fred Whitton. We started with a lactate test to understand exactly where he was physiologically, built a 12-week training plan around his work and family life, then came back to test again before the event.

The results speak for themselves.

📈 VO₂max: +7.7%
📈 LT1: +15W (+8.3%)
📈 LT2: +21W (+8.8%)

The biggest takeaway wasn't just higher numbers. Ben improved his aerobic capacity and sustainable power while maintaining virtually the same bodyweight. That's exactly the kind of adaptation we were aiming for.

As Ben put it:

"Henry created a training plan that fitted around my family life. The pacing and fuelling advice helped me get the most out of every session. I'm really happy with the progress over the 12 weeks and look forward to working together again."

A huge thanks to Ben for allowing me to share his results.

Whether you're training for a sportive, road race, time trial or simply want to make the most of your time on the bike, having objective data and a plan tailored to your goals can make all the difference.

Such a good feeling 😅

Lucy Harris wins the South Molton GP, the latest round of the National Road Series. 🏆

After the race, one quote from Lucy really stuck with me:

"If I'm happy, I genuinely feel like I can do anything. If I'm stressed, that next level of power and tenaciousness is something I can't access."

As coaches and athletes, we spend so much time chasing watts, perfect training sessions and marginal gains that it's easy to overlook one of the biggest performance factors of all: the person behind the numbers.

Over the past year, one of my biggest priorities with Lucy hasn't just been building fitness. It's been helping create an environment where she could enjoy riding her bike again. Racing without unnecessary pressure. Exploring different disciplines. Trusting the process. Having fun.

Because that's what I believe good coaching should do.

Yes, it should make you fitter and faster. But it should also give you the confidence to express that fitness on race day.

Yesterday's win wasn't the result of one great training block or one perfect race. It was the continuation of months of consistent work, honest conversations, trust and creating the conditions for Lucy to perform at her best.

I'm incredibly proud to have played a small part in the journey, but the hard work has all been Lucy's.

This isn't the start of something, it's another result in what's becoming a consistently impressive body of work.

Thoroughly deserved, and I'm excited to see what the rest of the season brings. 👏💙

When Mack came to me in December, he was burnt out, frustrated and questioning everything with his training.

Six months later:

🏖️ 4th at Battle on the Beach
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 7th at the Gralloch
🌍 Qualified for the European Gravel Championships
📈 Nearly 10% improvement in his 20-minute power

The biggest change wasn't a magic workout or secret session.

It was finding a balance between training, work and life, committing to the process, and rediscovering the enjoyment of riding his bike.

Consistency beats perfection, always.

Tour du Gevaudan Occitane UCI 2.NC 🇫🇷

My first race DSing for the girls down in Southern France. A great trip, coming away with a 6th place on both days and finishing with 11th and 13th on GC plus 3rd in the young riders jersey.

The girls rode incredibly well especially on stage 2 that featured a pretty fearsome climb of 2.5km averaging 11.4%

I was super proud of how the team rode and they showed once again they can mix it with the best juniors in Europe.

Good vibes ✅
Great group 🚲
Fab results 🏆

A great weekend and plenty more to come from these girls this season as we take forward a whole load of learning and development from this weekend too! 💪

Feeling fit and being fast aren’t always the same thing.

Sometimes the most productive move is not more race intensity.

It's building deeper aerobic capacity so that speed has something to sit on.

Progress in training doesn’t come from pulling every lever at once.

It comes from knowing which lever to pull, when to pull it, and allowing time for adaptation to take place.
