Personalized Coaching Plans

Clients will work directly with professional cycling coach Troy Delfs and receive an individualized training plan to help them optimize their preparation for their upcoming cycling events or races.  All programs will be geared to the specific needs, goals and abilities of each cyclist and will be built around the athlete’s time constraints. 

Your coach will ensure that you find the training to be a rewarding and enjoyable experience.  Training is not always fun (and can be painful), but it should always be rewarding.

Momentum Cycling offers two options for Training Plans;

• The All Inclusive Training Plan

• The Basic Training Plan

No Initial Start Up Fee

No Long Term Commitment Required

The ALL INCLUSIVE training plan

The best way to achieve your cycling goals is by working directly with a coach on an ongoing basis.  Your Momentum Cycling coach will work directly with you to build the perfect training plan, analyze each of your workouts, answer all of your questions and provide ongoing feedback, direction and support to help you reach peak performance.

Due to the time demands placed on the coach for the All Inclusive Training Plan and to ensure a top quality service to each client, there are a limited number of spots allocated for this program each season.  

The All Inclusive Training Plan Includes:

• A periodized training plan built specifically to the needs of each athlete to ensure that you achieve peak performance for your target events

• Detailed power based exercise prescription to be done indoors (Zwift etc) or outdoors, depending on the needs & preferences of the athlete

• In-depth data analysis (power output, heart rate, cadence) and feedback on all of your workouts providd through recorded audio comments

• Flexibility to adjust program based on the athlete's work/family/life schedule and changing fitness level

• Ongoing communication with your personal cycling coach through Training Peaks, text, e-mail or phone calls

• Pre-race strategy planning sessions & Post-race analysis

• Current training methodologies and strategies to achieve optimal physical, mental & tactical performance

• Athletes will start with a self administered Functional Threshold Power (FTP) Test to asses baseline cardiovascular fitness and to establish training zones
