YOUR CYCLING DATA ANALYSED IN TRAINING PEAKS
To ensure that you use the limited time you have to train effectively and efficiently, we provide on-demand data analysis using Training Peaks – which is the gold standard in analysing your cycling data.
I am finding that each time I reflect where I am compared to what I had been doing in the past, I shake my head in disbelief that I hadn’t taken this road sooner.
Am now a few weeks in to the Road Race program and had the opportunity to pick up a 3 race license and test myself in my first ever club races this week. Started my week setting a new 20min power PB on my training ride, then raced C grade at the Caulfield Carnegie Anzac Day Classic on Wednesday, followed by the Southern Masters in Drouin on Sunday. Finished comfortably in the bunch at Sandown, then placed 2nd on Sunday. Big week of riding but feeling strong, and the training gave me the confidence to have a crack at the racing.
Hello David, I’m three weeks into the Road Racer II Part Two and had my 1st race for 3 weeks. I’ve had my best result for a long time. So your program, although early days, has given me not only some fitness but more so more confidence in my racing especially when the higher graded cyclists come through. Early day yet but feeling like I’m getting somewhere with structured training. Thanks, Peter
I must say that I’ve always been drawn back to your site after purchasing a few of your videos and finding them really helpful and noticing some good improvement. It’s easy to see why you’re a very successful coach just in the level of detail you go into, and also your ability to always look at the bigger picture. I think your training programs are uniquely placed to train for the one off iconic Sportives we have in the UK. I’ve always found it so hard to get a really focused training plan to take on these really tough and challenging Sportives and I think that is what draws me to your training plans.

Eight weeks in and I see so much improvement. My first race is March 2nd. It a fat tire 25-mile race. Looking to see how much I improved since last year. Thanks for your program and making it affordable to people like me. Dan Hughes.
Thanks so much for the program. I have to say – with all the business travel, and holidays etc…I am really proud of how consistent I have been. And it has shown in my outdoor group rides on the weekends. I have been, for the most part, keeping pace with the A group – previously unheard of. THANK YOU!
David, I noticed I had made an improvement in a really short time but what really proved it was my friends also noticed.
BUST THE COMMON MISCONCEPTION THAT YOU HAVE TO TRAIN HARDER TO GET RESULTS
If you aren’t getting the results that you want, change what you’re doing. Don’t just train hard, but train smart… We provide you with a totally integrated training system with coaching support so that you quickly become more awesome on the bike in less than four weeks.
When we start talking about doing the right type of training, it sometimes congers up thoughts as being a demanding process. But this is just a common misconception among many athletes, including cyclists.
Because we have spent the last ten years tuning our efficient programs specifically for cyclists like you, you’ll find that you’ll get much better performance gains on the bike than you have ever done so in the past with the same amount of training time.
I just want to say thank you for your program. It worked really well for me. With two little kids to deal with and my wife’s business I often find I am time poor and really was only getting the Sunday to train. Having a structured program (as well as a smart trainer) meant I could quite easily follow the program. I was definitely training “smarter” and I was gaining more and more confidence on the roads. I had previously completed PCFC in 2015 with a time of 12 hrs 27 mins. I set a goal to beat PCFC in under 12 hours. I finished in a time of 11 hours 47 mins so was really happy with that. With my result, we can say “your program works”. Thanks – Tony
I have been using a lot of your indoor training sessions every week due to rain, road closures or simply not enough time to get on the road! I love the hill climbing ones you have! I have just signed up for the hill climber two and will complete that and then finish with the touring program leading to when we take off to Europe for the tour in June. So everything is good here, your programs are great, love the indoor training videos!
The main improvement I am seeing is in my time management. I believe I am getting similar results with less effort which is really nice, this has been achieved by not having to think about what I need to do each ride. Using your weekly schedules is taking a lot of the indecision out of the equation. The information you provide also points out to me the importance of rest.
I’m definitely improving each week. Never thought I would achieve so much in such a short period! Thank you so much for your program and support along the way!
TRAINING RESOURCES TO SUPPORT YOU
We provide training resources that include indoor training videos to help you with your pedalling efficiency and off-the-bike strength training.
INDOOR CYCLING VIDEOS
Time efficient indoor training video workouts that teach you how to improve your pedalling technique while also developing your aerobic fitness, cycling strength, and speed.
Loving the workouts so far. What I’ve found is it alternates between hard and easy days with longer rides back to back on weekend so I feel fresher than with my previous training and have plenty in the tank to push the hard efforts. Kind regards, Mike Pagels.
OFF THE BIKE STRENGTH TRAINING FOR CYCLISTS
You can only generate as much power as you can stabilize. We have been working with leading strength and conditioning trainers since 2006. Your off the bike strength program has been tuned by professional cyclists racing at state, national and international level competition, as well as recreational riders partaking in events around the globe. No other strength training program comes close to its depth.
Love the Strength training, the mobilisers and the Functional strength exercises as can feel stronger in the back only after a weeks training.
Holy crap I feel my power building! I’ll do some mobilizers after weights tonight and recover tomorrow. Matt rocks. Love him! Glad to be back!
IMPROVE YOUR PEDALLING EFFICIENCY
Cycling is just like swimming – it’s all about developing an efficient technique. You power the bike a pedal stroke at a time. Right? We help you improve the efficiency and amount of power that you are able to produce which will make a huge difference to your cycling performance.

Pedalling efficiency after
Greg from NSW, Australia got this improvement with his pedalling efficiency within 12 weeks.
Hi David, Just watched your hill climbing video and learned why I have aching muscles, because of your “easy” 084 climbing training programs! Appears I had not been engaging my gluteus or locking my core previously so now those muscles are really sore and aching (thus improving). Feel like Karate Kid wondering why I was painting the fence “why am I doing these easy training sessions” ha, now know why. Onwards and upwards. Tony.
I have been practicing to pedal in circles which I know I haven’t been doing consistently prior to starting your programme and it’s making a huge difference. I am feeling very happy as my riding has improved already.
INCREASE YOUR FTP
Training needs to not only be efficient but effective as well. You want to keep on getting results, always. We make sure that you are placed on the training program that’s right for you so you aren’t wasting your time doing ineffective training that’s not helping you improve your overall FTP.
Octavia from Sweeden got this improvement with his FTP within 12 weeks
Stefan from WA, Australia saw these personal best improvements pop up on his Training Peaks account in just two weeks
HI David. Have finished the twelve week MTB Program Part one and noticed that my FTP has risen from 280 to 300. I am training on a Wahoo Kickr two to three times per week during the week.
SHAVE MINUTES OF YOUR CLIMBS WITH AN IMPROVED POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO
“Power to weight ratio” or as it’s sometimes referred to as a rider’s “watts per kilogram” is critical to your climbing success. Simply put, the heavier you are, the more power you need to climb. We help you improve your power output so that you get dramatic improvements with your hill climbing times.
An example of an improvement of 8 minutes and 53 seconds on an 8.43 km climb
Starting with an FTP of 200 watts and a climbing time of 32 minutes and 58 seconds.
Same rider but 20 kg lighter and an increased FTP of 250 watts, gives a climbing time of 24 minutes and 5 seconds.
I rode my “fitness test” hill (14km @ 400M elevation) last week in my fastest time in the last 4 years….so progress is being made.
Hi David, Just wanted to say thank you. My goal this year was to break 12 mins in climbing Mt. Coot-tha in Brisbane. I started the year at 14:50 mins and no matter what I did, I could not get much better than that. I joined up to your training plan in June and at that time was down to 14:39mins. I started with the HillClimber I program and immediately saw the results. I completed that 12 weeks and then went into Hill climber II. Each week my times up the hill were getting faster and I was feeling a lot stronger. I am now on week 11 on Hill climber II and I not only reached the 12 min goal, but I also reached a personal best of 11:50mins. I am now looking to see if I can crack 11 mins! Thank you for your great programs. All the best, Mark.
10 minutes off my Ventoux climb time from 3 years ago. 2 best Gran Fondo performances ever on back to back Sundays. Excited to keep going!

In my opinion….and I have been a member for 4+ years now…..this is the BEST VALUE FOR MONEY site for cyclists. For those like me who are only looking for quality and implementable information this is THE best place to be. Great work David and team! Regards, Sri Rajam
I received 2 awards from my club on Friday nite; most improved rider and best overall rider 2018. Thanks coach.
I gave it everything I had and came away the state champion [Missouri CX]
I’ve been a Cycling-Inform member these past few months – the tips, posts, videos etc that you’ve been posting have been great. I’ve been building up off a low base for Peaks Challenge Falls Creek and now feel a whole lot more prepared. I’m in my late 50s so probably an 11hr time is about right for me. The tips you had on descending were super useful – made a big difference immediately.
I drove back from Bright yesterday after having completed the 7 Peaks Challenge. I surprised even myself, particularly how strong I felt on Baw Baw, Lake Mountain, Falls and Buffalo. I was stronger than previous years, second best time up Hotham. I bettered Falls by about 4 minutes and smashed my Buffalo time by about 10 minutes. So, thank you for giving me the tools for becoming and continuing to be a leaner cyclist. My next challenge is the Clare Classic.
Hi David, 9hrs 46 mins so well happy, my fastest Peaks Challenge Falls Creek time yet, that was number 4 and number 8 for all Peaks challenges! Thanks again for all your help. Guy
