FAQ
Answers about coaching, plans and getting started.
What is a 4-week block?
Coaching is billed every 4 weeks, and your training is planned in matching 4-week cycles.
Do I need a power meter?
Yes. All plans require a power meter. We also recommend training with a heart rate monitor.
Can I switch levels?
Yes. You can move between levels at the start of a new block.
What do I need to get started?
Send me a message through the contact page to set up your free consultation. When you’re ready to begin, I’ll send you a short onboarding questionnaire and an invitation to TrainingPeaks. Your account takes a couple of minutes to create, and once you connect your Garmin, Hammerhead, Wahoo or other cycling computer, I’m ready to start coaching you.
What is No Coasting?
On Zone 2 rides, keep your legs turning with steady pressure on the pedals. Go easy on the climbs, and push the pedals on the downhills and flats instead of coasting.
