Serious training, seriously personalised — coaching that goes deeper so you stop leaving performance on the table.
If you’ve been training consistently but feel like you’re not extracting what you should from your effort — or you’re tired of plans that almost fit but never quite do — Gold is built for that problem.
Gold Coaching goes deeper than Silver: weekly updated plans, more frequent file analysis, more regular contact, and a coaching relationship with the bandwidth to respond to how your training is actually going — not just how it was planned to go. Evidence-based, power-aware, and built specifically around your goals and real-life constraints.
Gold Coaching is available with Ric Stern (£250/month) or with Neil Kent / Charlotte Farrant (£210/month), all working to the evidence-based, power-led CycleCoach methodology developed since 1997. Athletes coached within the CycleCoach system range from time-crunched masters riders to national champions and world-class performers.
This is for you if…
• You’re a committed cyclist who wants your training to reflect that commitment — with a coach who is across your data every week, not every fortnight.
• You want weekly plan updates that respond to how your previous week actually went.
• You’re serious about performance but still have a real life — and need a coaching structure with enough flexibility to handle it.
• You want strength and conditioning built into your programme, not bolted on as an afterthought.
• You want more than race-day fueling tips — including macro targets for part of your training cycle.
• You’ve tried self-coaching, generic plans, or lower-touch options — and know you need more than that to move forward.
This is not for you if…
• You want the absolute highest level of contact, daily access, and maximum bespoke support (that’s Rainbow or Platinum).
• You’re not ready to engage consistently — upload files, respond to feedback, and train with real intent.
• You want a one-off plan or a short-term fix rather than a structured coaching relationship.
• Silver is likely the better fit if you don’t need Gold’s weekly depth of support.
What changes / what you get out of this
• Weekly plans that reflect reality — your training is updated every week based on what actually happened, not what was supposed to happen.
• With frequent file review and regular text/call contact, problems get caught and corrected before they compound.
• Strength built in from the start — integrated S&C programming means your gym work supports your riding rather than competing with it.
• More nutritional structure around training load — with macro targets set for 1 week in each 4-week cycle, not just vague fuelling advice.
• Faster adaptation to disruption — regular plan alterations mean life’s interruptions don’t derail your season.
• A coaching relationship with real depth — not just a plan in your inbox, but a coach who knows your numbers, your tendencies, and where your performance is heading.
