NEW QUOTE HERE I have been working with Rob for a while now. He has brought structure and focus to my training which in turn has helped me to progress with my cycling and allowed me to keep improving month on month and season on season. He is always happy to help with general questions and has a great depth of knowledge and insight into all things training related (recovery, nutrition, general health). All these factors combine to make sure you have the right tools and information to get the most out of your hard work on the bike. If you want a tailored, no BS, coach or training plan Rob is the way to go.

NEW QUOTE HERE Working with a coach represents a commitment to your training (both in terms of money and time), and it could just be the smartest step you can take towards achieving your goals. 

Even as someone who knows the importance of structure, it can be really difficult to make objective decisions about your own training and racing—not least because such decisions are often emotional as well as physical. A good coach will help you focus on your priorities and give you honest feedback on your choices. We all enjoy working on our strengths; a coach will ask you to work on your weaknesses.
