FITTER | FASTER | HEALTHIER | HAPPIER
I'm on a mission to change the cycling community, to disrupt the current patriarchy through my passion for cycling. I hope to empower every woman, person of colour and marginalised gender by supporting and enabling them to achieve audacious cycling goals. There is a painful lack of diversity throughout cycling, affecting the decisions made that affect us all. From the way British Cycling tutors treat grassroots coaches, to government level decisions on travel infrastructure, from cycling industry boardrooms of singular demographics to abysmally poor kit sizing for differently shaped women. I can't fix all this alone, but perhaps by creating a space which nurtures and encourages more diverse cyclists to do awesome things, it will be harder for us to be ignored.
See, there's me, disrupting again ........
For so long now, the only training advice available in the cycling media and online has been based on studies conducted on college age male athletes and obese inactive males, but now more and more is becoming known about the effect of training, exercise and nutrition on our female bodies. What are considered absolute facts about training and nutrition, aren't actually always relevant to us. Thankfully, since 2016, there's been a growing number of female sport scientists who have dedicated themselves to researching and sharing information on how we should train and eat. What's become apparent is that we are highly unique, and our training and fuel needs change through the different stages of our lives, through adolescence, child bearing age, perimenopause and post menopause.
There are now more female cycling coaches than ever before.
We now have knowledge.
Now we have choices.

The first step will be for you to complete some forms to establish where you are now and where you want to be. After a one to one consultation I'll start creating a personalised training plan for you on Training Peaks, which will be delivered in monthly blocks. You'll receive guidance on training, nutrition and event preparation through worksheets and live workshops, weekly Q & A sessions with me, and if you have an indoor trainer, you'll be able to join me for live indoor cycling sessions once a week. You will also be invited the private Facebook group, to become a member of a growing community of cyclists, just like you, training for similar events.
Regular live events including deep dive workshops covering the key elements to help you train smarter, focused Q&As, as well as monthly reflection sessions
Live weekly indoor cycling sessions, with other group members makes the turbo so much more fun, and less soul destroying! Plus Strengths & conditioning sessions too

This is a virtual coaching program, with the participants being based anywhere in the UK, or even the world! You will be training in your own time on your own, or with whoever you like to ride with. In the virtual live workouts you will be able to work at your own level and pace.
Your personalised training plan will be designed around the equipment you have. If you decide to get an indoor trainer at some point, just let me know.
I recommend as a minimum a bike computer, heartrate monitor and a cadence sensor to measure your pedal rate. You will need to record your training to track your progress and monitor your fatigue. I also recommend some basic home gym equipment as you get stronger. You will have access to lots of guides around what I feel is the most useful.
The training sessions vary across 12 months, developing different aspects of your fitness. The sessions across each week also differ. I promise you won't get bored! There's also the option to join the live indoor cycling workouts to make them less soul destroying. Suffering in a group is always more fun! There will actually be group rides with your friends scheduled into your plan. Maintaining the joy of cycling is crucial to staying motivated and consistent. If there's a group ride with your club that closely fits the planned session, then go ahead and join your club ride.
Definitely not! I used this same frame work to coach people for off road and gravel events. We discuss your event demands when we create your training plan to ensure you are fully ready and prepared for every aspect of your challenge.
