Catenary Coaching Services

If your goal is to get fitter and faster, start competing, or improve your competitiveness, we can help.

You may want to improve your performance in cycle racing, including time trial (TT), hill climb, road, track, cyclocross (CX), gravel or mountain bike (MTB) racing. You may be looking to get faster at duathlon or triathlon, or take on a new challenge like 70.3 or ironman. Perhaps you want to improve your 5km, 10km or half marathon running times, or move up to marathon and beyond. You may just want to ride or run faster, or take on an endurance challenge like a sportive, audax, ultra-marathon or other epic event.

We will work with you to understand your athletic goals, time constraints due to work/education/family commitments and current performance. We then plan a training programme for you to follow and give you feedback as you progress through the plan. The rest is up to you!
