Hello
I'm, as the title says, interested in enlisting the help of a coach. I've improved vastly over the last year and think there's more to come - but its getting harder to work out how best to target my training.
The only folk I'm aware of are dave lloyd who seems a little too pro for me (and costly at £100 a month), and gormancyclecoaching who's pretty much at the other end of the spectrum - a little too much like just receiving a slightly personalised "black book" each month (but fine I guess for £15 or whatever it is)
Any views or recommendations on who else is out there that I should talk to?
Cheers
Jon

Try Lee Povey,
I used him last year hes a really decent bloke as well as a top coach, not as expensive as you would have thought.

cheers for this
what did you reckon to the overall experience? did it make a difference or did you find yourself doing a fairly similar thing to what you would have done without a coach?0 -
you could try one of our customised training plans.

I would recommend Lee Povey too, or someone else also with the relevant qualifications to prescribe individual training programs (BC level 3 or the old Club Coach award)
What's your club? most clubs have decent coaches in their ranks who would probably offer advice for free and a training program for a reasonable price.0 -

Yup, another for Ruth Eyles. She gave me exactly what I wanted and was able to provide me with a perfect program to fit with my life...
I used her for a year and nearly two years later still benefit from the advice...0 -
+1 for Ruth. Would not hesitate to recommend
