Bronze Level
The Bronze level is our lower level coaching option which includes a fully personalized training plan and limited coaching communication and review of training. Typically, coach Simon will review a few of your key sessions in TrainingPeaks every 3-4 weeks before designing the next few weeks of training. At that time coach Simon may reach out to see what events or travel is coming up. Coach Simon does not review your training like with the Silver and Gold coaching levels or do regular coaching calls and text communication.
When you sign-up for Bronze Level coaching, you’ll get the following features and benefits:
∗ A training plan built from scratch personally for you by coach Simon
∗ A coaching consultation at start-up to review your questionnaire and discuss your cycling goals and training (+-45 minutes)
∗ Coaching communication via email, text, and our global community Facebook group
∗ Coach “check-in” every 3-4 weeks via TrainingPeaks or text/email with review/comments on a few of your key training sessions completed
∗ A TrainingPeaks basic account
