funrider243 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Hi All... I'm thinking of getting a coach to help with my training. I have a power meter (Power Tap) and have been training with it for 2 year and been improving slowly. However I'm interested to find out if I would have better results/gains If I had a "coach"? If anyone know's of any "coaches" or could recomend anyone specific, please let me know? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowchaser-d Posted November 22, 2011 Share I am not sure if Mike Bevan still does coaching, he was pretty good. Just becareful of those "on-line" type programs where every client gets the same program. Look695, when you say you are "happy" with Donovan, have you showed decent gains or has he helped give you a better understanding of power training? Does anyone know if Bruce Diesel still does coaching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTB_Roadie Posted November 22, 2011 Share John Wakefield - john@sciencetosport.com he is a qualified UCI coach I also chat to him almost everyday as he asks how training is going, etc. Edited November 22, 2011 by MTB_Roadie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind me asking, what does John charge you monthly? I used Mike Bevan and to this day i can still pick up the phone and chat to him about training, even though i am not making use of his expertise.

I do for example int's on Tuesday's and hill training on Thursday's. With Donovan it is not so much time in the saddle, but quality training. I am not using a powermeter, but he does use it in his coaching if you have a powermeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a 3month training program, it depends which option you choose. He also personally work it out for you, I had to do a V02 Max test, give him the results, etc then he worked it out. Best is to email him and ask him directly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
