this is how I do it

“250 watts feels like a tailwind one day, and like grinding into a headwind the next.

Garmin and Wahoo know your wattage. I know you. A tailored plan — built on your data, adjusted every week to how it went and how it felt.

Three riders I often come across

Finishing long rides
You want to complete a big sportive like the Amstel Gold satisfied — strong and enjoying it, not destroyed.
The step to racing
You ride sportives comfortably, but the step to racing feels big — and you're not sure how or what to train.
Making progress again
You've trained the same way for years, but the progress is gone — and you don't know how to break through.

Sportive or race, just starting or stuck — and done with apps that explain nothing? The answer is the same: a tailored plan, with explanation, and a coach who thinks along.

how I work —

From intake to Monday on the bike

1
Fill in the intake
You tell me about your level, your goal and how many hours a week you're on the bike. Takes five minutes.
2
I set up a call with you
No app churning out a schedule. I go through the intake with you, ask questions and make sure I understand you before writing a single session.
3
Monday your schedule starts
Every week we look at how it went — and how it felt. I adjust the next block to your training and how you feel.
why me —

Personal, and medically grounded

I know you — and I know what I'm talking about. I'm a physician and I know how your body responds to training: when training stimuli make you stronger, and when the load tips into overload, with a risk of injury or illness. That's exactly where many riders wreck themselves. I build your schedule so you get stronger without going over the edge.

I've done a lot of clinical scientific research myself and have extensive experience with data analysis and its interpretation. I use that experience to truly understand your training data. I look beyond the numbers themselves: I understand what they say — and so whether your training is moving you towards your goal.

And I stay in regular personal contact with you to discuss how your training is going — data and feel, both count.
