Cycling Coaching

Ride stronger. Race smarter. Perform when it matters.

Cycling coaching isn’t just about following a plan.

It’s about understanding what you need to improve and applying the right training, at the right time, in a way that fits your life. That’s what I do.

At inSync Cycling, coaching is built around real riders with real constraints: work, family, racing goals and limited time. Whether you’re targeting your first race or aiming for national-level performance, the goal is the same:

Make you faster, more consistent and more confident on the bike.

What you can expect

  • A structured training plan built around your goals and schedule

  • Clear guidance on what to do — and why you’re doing it

  • Ongoing feedback and adjustment based on your progress

  • Data-driven coaching using TrainingPeaks + WKO5 analytics

  • Regular contact (usually weekly) to keep things on track

No guesswork. No overcomplication. Just effective coaching that works.

Coaching built around your level

I offer two coaching options depending on your goals and how much support you need:

Core Coaching

For riders who want structure, consistency, and steady progression

If you’re training regularly but want more direction, Core Coaching gives you a clear plan and the accountability to stick to it.

You’ll know what to do each week, how hard to push, and how to progress over time — without overthinking it.

Best suited to:

  • Riders who take their training seriously

  • Those preparing for major events such as Étape du Tour, Gran Fondos, or multi-day challenges

  • Athletes looking for structured, consistent progression

  • Riders aiming to perform at a higher level, whether that’s in events or personal goals

What’s included:

  • Personalised training plan via TrainingPeaks

  • Weekly review and adjustments

  • Ongoing messaging support

  • Simple, clear guidance without unnecessary complexity

Performance Coaching

For competitive riders targeting high-level results

Performance Coaching is for riders who are already racing — or preparing to and want to maximise their potential.

This is a more detailed, data-driven approach with deeper analysis, closer monitoring, and more frequent feedback.

We focus on the specifics that decide races:

  • Power profile development

  • Race demands and execution

  • Durability and repeatability

  • Tactical awareness and confidence

Best suited to:

  • Road, crit, cyclocross and gravel racers

  • Riders targeting regional or national-level events

  • Athletes looking to move up categories or perform consistently at a higher level

What’s included:

  • Fully personalised training plan

  • Advanced analysis using WKO5

  • Weekly calls (or similar contact)

  • Ongoing feedback and refinement

  • Race planning and performance review

Why inSync Cycling?

Coaching here is shaped by:

  • Experience working with riders competing in

    • National Circuit Series

    • National Road Race Series

    • Regional road, criterium, cyclocross and gravel racing

    • International endurance challenges

  • A strong understanding of racing demands in the UK

  • Integration with bike fitting and biomechanics

That last point matters more than most people realise: If your position isn’t optimal, it limits what you can achieve — no matter how good the training plan is.

What riders say

“Russell was very knowledgeable and systematic… the pressure mapping was really useful and helped me understand what suited me best. What surprised me most was how a more supportive insole helped.”

“I now have a clear plan and a much better understanding of my training. Everything is structured but flexible enough to fit around real life.”

“Coaching has made a huge difference — not just physically, but in confidence and how I approach races.”
