TESTIMONIALS
"Your Transsylvania Epic specific training plan was spot-on and I was thrilled to not only finish the TSE, but finish it feeling good and still strong on day 7. I’ve never experienced “peak fitness” before, even after all these years of racing. It was an awesome feeling to be so ready for the TSE. Thank you SO much for all your help in preparing for this."

Hi Chris,
Wanted to let you know that I finished my first 100 mtb event yesterday!!  The weather made it a challenge with the rain and thunderstorms, but the training plan paid off and worked extremely well in preparing me for the Cohutta 100!!

Anyone interested in a 100 mile MTB event really needs to order your plan!

"I was amazed at how much faster and confident I became on the bike in just one season with Chris. I upgraded to expert racer this year and was able to do well in races my first season. However, my real focus was the Shenandoah Mountain 100. I not only finished it, but I did it in under 12 hours! But what really surprised me was how prepared I was both mentally and physically. I didn't just finish that race, I enjoyed it! Training with Chris prepared me in more ways than I realized. His constant attention to my schedule, emotional support and encouragement throughout the season really made a difference. I couldn't have done it without him and would highly recommend him to anyone!"

From years of racing and winning elite level endurance events, I have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge in how to complete and excel in these races.  I want to share this with other athletes and help them reach their goals. My experience in endurance mountain bike races, including marathons, 100 milers, multi day stage races and 24 hour races is second to none.  In fact, I have probably raced the event you are preparing for and know it inside and out.

Coaching Style
Plans devised by me based on individual communication and personal attention.  Unique, customized training plans based on the individual's goals, riding experience, and time available to train.  Constant monitoring of training, preparations and racing with appropriate tips and advice at every turn. Coaching services addressing the demands of cyclocross racing are also available.
