Testimonials"Having Mike as a coach for 2009 helped me improve many areas of my cycling. Having accountability with my workouts motivated me to do all my workouts and to do them well since I knew he'd be looking at the numbers. Having a well structured program each month took away the stress of always wondering what I should be doing and, I have to admit, it's fun to watch your numbers go up and up. For the track racer, Mike has a lot of tactical and technical knowledge that can improve your performance by simply helping you race smarter. His own personal love for racing and training gave me confidence that he was on the leading edge of the sport. Mike helped me have more fun and more success this season than ever before. “ Tom Cuneio - Colorado State Track Champion and Cat 2 Track Racer
"Mike's a great coach. He really helped me define my goals and then constructed a training program that paid attention to these goals, my available training time, and life realities. This resulted in a 15% increase in my functional threshold power, a personal best in the Triple Bypass, and a top 20% finish in the Rist Canyon Hill Climb in 2009. I'm new to racing and was incredibly pleased with these results. Mike was particularly good at looking at my data files daily and helping me adjust things where needed. He was willing to discuss race tactics and he pushed to do things I would not have done on my own. I feel that the personal attention, constant communication, and the daily accountability were second to none. In fact, I've signed up for another year under his tutelage!" "I am an active 39-year-old who was new to cycling and to the growing sport of triathlon. My goals to compete in my first triathlon and to keep up with the fast group at social rides prompted me to hire Mike as a trainer. Having a full-time career, a family, and an active 6-year-old leave very little time for any serious training. With a time constraint, training smarter and not longer was my only option. Mike understood this and created a training regiment that fit my schedule. The training was intensive but not overreaching. Using a heart-rate monitor combined with my established heart rate zones, Mike designed weekly interval training to improve cardio, increase lactate threshold, and build power and strength. Although we lived in different states, Mike was always available to communicate after every workout session. The exchange of ideas and recommendations helped fine tune and optimize future training sessions. After 3 months of training with Mike, I had the confidence to compete in my first triathlon and a second one a month later. I am now one of the faster cyclists in a group ride. Thank you, Mike, for all your help and motivation." |
