There are additional plans that can be added on as well, depending on needs and interests:

Discipline-Specific Skills Training

Each cycling discipline has it’s own special set of skills – road racing requires comfort in a bunch, solid climbing and descending skills. Crit riders also need to corner exceptionally well. Cyclocross races can be won by riders with slow dismount and remounting skills, but more often than not you’re more likely to lose places if these aren’t refined and mastered, giving your opponents an edge. Ask about working in skills into your training program!

Nutritional Overview

Let’s take a look at what you’re eating on a daily basis, and ensure you’re hitting those macros as well as try and identify any nutritional deficiencies.

* Note: Dave is not a dietician, nor pretending to be one. For serious medical concerns please consult medical professionals. This program is just a general overview, and not intended to be a thorough account of any dietary issues.
