A human decision, every time

Coach-built means a coach builds it.

This is not a generic plan with your name added. Your coach works from your numbers, goal, experience, available time and constraints—then reviews what you completed before building the next block.

Before you start

Common questions.

This isn’t an AI coach and it isn’t a generic plan. Your four-week block is built from your MAP, FTP, current fitness, available time, goals and constraints—using the MAP-based methodology Ric Stern developed. A coach reviews it before delivery, so the result is fitted to you rather than handed to everyone in the same form.
Yes. £25 is charged every four weeks, and each time you get a new block built from what you actually did in the last one.

Cancel any time before your next block is built. There’s no notice period, minimum term or penalty. The annual option is billed once for 13 blocks—two of them free.
No. If you already know your MAP, great. If you don’t, use our free MAP calculator to estimate it, or we’ll build the MAP test into your first block so you can establish your number properly before the training progresses.
No. You need a TrainingPeaks account to receive your plan, but the free tier works perfectly well—that’s what most riders use. The £25 is all you pay us; there’s no hidden TrainingPeaks cost on top.
For the bike, a power meter or a smart trainer—the plans are power-based, so you need one or the other. Plus a free TrainingPeaks account to receive the sessions, which sync to your Garmin, Wahoo or Zwift. If you’ve opted in to strength work, a gym makes it easier but isn’t required—every exercise has a home alternative.
Pay for your block, fill in a short intake form, then connect your TrainingPeaks account. A coach builds and reviews your block and delivers it to your calendar, usually within three working days. Before each new block, a coach reviews what you actually did and builds the next one from it.
Life happens. If your week changes occasionally, you can move sessions around within TrainingPeaks. If your schedule changes substantially, tell us before your next block and we’ll build the new one around your updated availability.
Two sessions a week, 45–70 minutes each, scheduled after your hard rides so they don’t compromise your cycling. The programme follows the concurrent training protocol from Rønnestad’s published research on cyclists—heavy, low-rep and cycling-specific.

A gym makes it easier, but it isn’t required. Every exercise has a home alternative using dumbbells, kettlebells or bands. Tell us what you have access to on the intake form and we’ll build around it.
