Core Principles:
Synergy Between Athlete and Event:
- We recognise that optimal performance arises from aligning an athlete's physiological capabilities with the specific demands of their target events.
- Our approach involves a detailed analysis of each athlete's strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring their training is precisely tailored to the event's requirements.
Power-Based Coaching Expertise:
- Our team, rich in experience with power-based coaching, utilises advanced tools like TrainingPeaks, WKO5, and our in-house cycling physiology assessment to analyse and enhance performance.
- We focus on translating data into actionable strategies, enabling cyclists to train smarter and achieve tangible improvements.
Personalised Training Strategies:
- We believe in the power of individualised coaching. Every cyclist's journey with us is unique, shaped by their personal goals, physiology, and response to training.
- Our training plans are not just personalised but also dynamic, evolving in response to the athlete's progress and feedback.
State-of-the-Art Tools and Resources:
- Access to advanced analytics and training tools is a cornerstone of our philosophy. We equip our athletes with the latest in cycling technology and data analysis to track and enhance their performance.
- Our resources extend beyond software to include our specialised cycling physiology lab, offering in-depth insights into each athlete's capabilities.
Comprehensive Understanding of Key Performance Metrics:
- We emphasise the importance of understanding and integrating key metrics like VO2 max, Critical Power (CP), W prime (W'), and Maximal Aerobic Power (MAP).
- Our coaching not only involves the application of these metrics but also educates athletes on their significance and interplay, fostering a deeper understanding of their own physiology.
Balanced Approach to Performance Metrics:
- Recognising the intricate balance between VO2 max, CP, W', and MAP, we guide athletes in optimising these metrics in concert rather than in isolation.
- Our North Power Dynamics Protocol and ongoing assessments help athletes understand their unique physiological profile and how to leverage it for maximum performance.
Continuous Learning and Adaptation:
- The world of cycling performance is ever-evolving. We stay at the forefront of the latest research and methodologies to ensure our athletes benefit from the most current and effective training approaches.
- Our philosophy is one of growth and adaptation, both for our athletes and our coaching methodologies.
