We want communication to have a low barrier and be easy. If you have a question or concern about your plan I want you to feel comfortable reaching out. As an example, common questions could be <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><code>I am not feeling well, should I still do my workout?<\/code> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><code>My motivation is low,and I'm not feeling very fresh on the bike, should I still do this difficult workout?<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><code>I just found out about this race I want to do, how should we change my schedule?<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your options for communication include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Text messaging <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notes and comments on coaching portal apps (especially intervals.icu)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Email<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phone calls <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scheduling primarily occurs through <a href=\"http:\/\/intervals.icu\">http:\/\/intervals.icu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Costs:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact me for information about coaching during the 2026 season. Ideally training begins in January, but we adopt a come when you are ready approach. Costs are modest and include a Training Peaks Premium subscription. In addition, riders in <strong>YOUR PLAN<\/strong><sup>TM<\/sup> are expected to be an active participants in their training. This includes but is not limited to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Providing notes about how you felt after each ride <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Actively participating in discussions about your goals and objectives  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, since we will be taking a data-driven approach, it&#8217;s vital to be collecting data. This includes <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Smart Watch <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bike computer \/ head unit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heart rate monitor <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smart indoor trainer <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Power meter <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is mandatory to use 3 and either 1 or 2. Ideally all 5 of these provide an excellent stream of data to work with and provide health and wellness data along with riding performance data. Some riders may benefit from periodic laboratory tests (i.e. blood lactate and VO<sub>2<\/sub> Max).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Would you like additional information?<\/h2>\n\n\n<style id=\"wpforms-css-vars-317-block-ce23afc6-8992-4f3b-b6a4-3b55751d2582\">\n\t\t\t\t#wpforms-317.wpforms-block-ce23afc6-8992-4f3b-b6a4-3b55751d2582 {\n\t\t\t\t--wpforms-field-size-input-height: 43px;\n--wpforms-field-size-input-spacing: 15px;\n--wpforms-field-size-font-size: 16px;\n--wpforms-field-size-line-height: 19px;\n--wpforms-field-size-padding-h: 14px;\n--wpforms-field-size-checkbox-size: 16px;\n--wpforms-field-size-sublabel-spacing: 5px;\n--wpforms-field-size-icon-size: 1;\n--wpforms-label-size-font-size: 16px;\n--wpforms-label-size-line-height: 19px;\n--wpforms-label-size-sublabel-font-size: 14px;\n--wpforms-label-size-sublabel-line-height: 17px;\n--wpforms-button-size-font-size: 17px;\n--wpforms-button-size-height: 41px;\n--wpforms-button-size-padding-h: 15px;\n--wpforms-button-size-margin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t<\/style><div class=\"wpforms-container wpforms-container-full wpforms-block wpforms-block-ce23afc6-8992-4f3b-b6a4-3b55751d2582 wpforms-render-modern\" id=\"wpforms-317\"><form id=\"wpforms-form-317\" class=\"wpforms-validate wpforms-form wpforms-ajax-form\" data-formid=\"317\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart\/form-data\" action=\"\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpages%2F26\" data-token=\"33fea76946b0fd1ad4a6ec9ba5819b97\" data-token-time=\"1781864964\"><noscript class=\"wpforms-error-noscript\">Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.<\/noscript><div id=\"wpforms-error-noscript\" style=\"display: none;\">Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.<\/div><div class=\"wpforms-field-container\"><div id=\"wpforms-317-field_0-container\" class=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-name\" data-field-id=\"0\"><fieldset><legend class=\"wpforms-field-label\">Athlete Name <span class=\"wpforms-required-label\" aria-hidden=\"true\">*<\/span><\/legend><div class=\"wpforms-field-row wpforms-field-large\"><div class=\"wpforms-field-row-block wpforms-first wpforms-one-half\"><input type=\"text\" id=\"wpforms-317-field_0\" class=\"wpforms-field-name-first wpforms-field-required\" name=\"wpforms[fields][0][first]\" aria-errormessage=\"wpforms-317-field_0-error\" required><label for=\"wpforms-317-field_0\" class=\"wpforms-field-sublabel after\">First<\/label><\/div><div class=\"wpforms-field-row-block wpforms-one-half\"><input type=\"text\" id=\"wpforms-317-field_0-last\" class=\"wpforms-field-name-last wpforms-field-required\" name=\"wpforms[fields][0][last]\" aria-errormessage=\"wpforms-317-field_0-last-error\" required><label for=\"wpforms-317-field_0-last\" class=\"wpforms-field-sublabel after\">Last<\/label><\/div><\/div><\/fieldset><\/div>\t\t<div id=\"wpforms-317-field_3-container\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-text\"\n\t\t\tdata-field-type=\"text\"\n\t\t\tdata-field-id=\"3\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<label class=\"wpforms-field-label\" for=\"wpforms-317-field_3\" >guardian under Experience<\/label>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" id=\"wpforms-317-field_3\" class=\"wpforms-field-medium\" name=\"wpforms[fields][3]\" >\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"wpforms-317-field_1-container\" class=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-email\" data-field-id=\"1\"><label class=\"wpforms-field-label\" for=\"wpforms-317-field_1\">Athlete Email <span class=\"wpforms-required-label\" aria-hidden=\"true\">*<\/span><\/label><input type=\"email\" id=\"wpforms-317-field_1\" class=\"wpforms-field-large wpforms-field-required\" name=\"wpforms[fields][1]\" spellcheck=\"false\" aria-errormessage=\"wpforms-317-field_1-error\" required><\/div><div id=\"wpforms-317-field_13-container\" class=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-email\" data-field-id=\"13\"><label class=\"wpforms-field-label\" for=\"wpforms-317-field_13\">Parent or guardian email (if under 18)<\/label><input type=\"email\" id=\"wpforms-317-field_13\" class=\"wpforms-field-medium\" name=\"wpforms[fields][13]\" spellcheck=\"false\" aria-errormessage=\"wpforms-317-field_13-error\" aria-describedby=\"wpforms-317-field_13-description\" ><div id=\"wpforms-317-field_13-description\" class=\"wpforms-field-description\">Juniors, please provide a parent or guardian email.
