This morning, I got back on the bike after a week of recovery down in Devon.And honestly?I expected my legs to feel awful.I had done a heavy weights session yesterday after not lifting for a week, so I thought I’d be dealing with tired legs, a bit of...
Last week, I was away in Devon with my partner.We had a week off together, which is something we always look forward to.It’s a chance to catch up with family and friends, enjoy the Devon countryside, spend time by the coastline, and slow down from th...
Most cyclists I speak to are stuck in the same loop…They want to lose weight, ride stronger, and improve their watts per kilo, but the moment they try to diet, their performance drops off a cliff.I’ve seen this over and over again coaching cyclists o...
Most cyclists over 50 assume their best riding days are behind them.I hear it all the time:“Am I too old to improve my FTP?”And honestly, I get why people think that. Recovery isn’t as quick as it used to be. Life is busier. You’ve got work, family,...

Last week I was out in Mallorca with my friend Jamie.It’s something I’ve done for years now, probably 15 years in total, and it’s always a trip I look forward to.Sunshine. Smooth roads. Big climbs.If you’ve ever been to Mallorca, you’ll know… it’s a...
This weekend reminded me exactly why structured training matters.I’ve just got back from a week cycling in Mallorca, long climbs, solid volume, and plenty of time in the saddle. (I’ll break that down properly in Friday’s newsletter.)But what stood ou...
When someone tells me their FTP is stuck, the first thing I don’t do is look at their training plan.I look at everything around it.Because what most people miss is this:Your body doesn’t improve just because you train harder. It improves when it’s ac...
I was reading recently about all these new body sensors coming into cycling.Things like continuous glucose monitors, core temperature tracking, sweat composition, and more advanced HRV tools.On paper, it all sounds like marginal gains.But in reality,...
