Online cycling coaching (sometimes called remote coaching) means your coach plans and adjusts your training from a distance, using the data from your rides. You ride where you live. Your coach could be anywhere in the UK. Here's what it should include, and what it looks like with us.
A plan built around you
Your plan starts with a conversation: your goals, your events, the hours you have and what's gone well or badly before. From there your coach builds the season in phases, from base to race, and writes each week's sessions into an app such as TrainingPeaks, where they sync to your bike computer or smart trainer.
The plan should fit your life. If you can ride three times in the week and once at the weekend, that's the plan.
Weekly changes
The real value of online coaching is in the changes. A fixed 12-week template can't know you had a cold, a late night or a brilliant ride on Sunday. A coach can. Each week the plan is reviewed against what you actually did and how it felt, then adjusted.
Feedback on your sessions
Every key session gets looked at: did you hit the targets, was the pacing right, did your heart rate drift? You get short, useful feedback, so you understand what each session is doing.
Regular contact
This is where coaching services differ most. Ask how often you'll actually speak to your coach. With us, there's a 15-minute 1:1 call every week, plus WhatsApp for quick questions in between.
Strength and the other bits
Good coaching covers more than intervals. Expect strength work (see our off-season strength guide), fuelling (try the nutrition calculator), pacing for your events and recovery.
What you need
A bike and somewhere to ride. A power meter or smart trainer helps, but plenty of riders train well with heart rate, or simply how hard a session feels. Read training by feel, heart rate or power.
What it costs
Online coaching in the UK varies a lot in price and in how much contact you get. With us, remote coaching is £140 a month: a personalised plan in TrainingPeaks, adjusted every week, a weekly 1:1 call, feedback on every key session, strength work and WhatsApp support. No setup fee, no minimum term. If you're in London and want time on the bike together too, our Bronze, Silver and Gold plans add in-person sessions. See all prices.
Is it for you?
Online coaching suits riders with a goal and a busy life: a first race, a time trial PB, a big sportive, a return after time away. If that sounds like you, book a free 30-minute call and we'll talk it through. Not sure you need a coach at all? Start with do I need a cycling coach?
