How
Consult :
Our first task is to baseline your current fitness, identify your strengths and limiters, capture your short, mid and longer term goals and factor in your work and lifestyle commitments.
Plan
From that we will develop a roadmap (an annual training plan) consisting of distinct blocks of training workouts, referred to as mesocycles (usually 4 to 6 weeks long), designed to create a progressive increase in training load that when interjected with recovery periods stimulate physiological adaptions resulting in improve fitness, resulting in greater endurance, speed, and power, leading to peak performance according to your defined goals which could be an event or a challenge.
Execute:
The training itself is a combination of workouts that can done indoors using a simulator such as Zwift, Rouvy, Fulgaz, etc, or outdoors on your bike using a cycling computer such as a Garmin or Wahoo. Either way, each workout has a specific objective and instructions that you follow whether it is short but high intensity workout (usually weekdays to accommodate work/life commitments) or a long endurance ride (usually at weekends).
Once completed, the data that has been captured for the workout is uploaded to a central system (TrainingPeaks and WKO5) that I will use to analyse, provide feedback and make changes as needed depending on progress, etc.
Regular contact is done through messaging systems such as WhatsApp with monthly reviews using Microsoft Teams, Zoom, etc.

UCI World Amateur Road Race Championships in Perth, Scotland
"Who says you are too old to dream?
Grant Goodman, at Cycle for Fitness helped me, firstly to understand that there is nothing wrong with dreams are your future goals and secondly how to make the dream come true and achieve those goals. In February of this year I was a keen cyclist who was both suprised and fortunate to be the first of his 70+ age group across line in a Gran Fondo, one that qualified him for the UCI World Championships. Would this actually be possible? If I were to enter I would need to ensure I was the best I could be. I needed a coach!
From those very first days in March, Grant guided and supported me through a structured plan that resulted in me fulfilling my dream, as a competitor, representing my country in the UCI World Amateur Road Race Championships in Perth, Scotland. I didn't make the podium but that was never a part of the dream, but I did compete and produced the best ride of my life.
The progress was beyond my expectations for such a short training period, with most of the important metrics improving by between 20 - 25%.I look forward to further improvements when we begin the path to another dream later this or early next year.
If you are young or old and want to improve your fitness on the bike for racing or epic mount climbs or simply wish to increase your longevity, I recommend you give Grant Goodman a call!

What Clients Say
I always have my clients' satisfaction as top priority. It’s how I roll, and always humbled by the feedback from my clients......
"I started with Grant in October 2020. Was not new to cycling but couldn’t find the magic switch to get better, fitter and faster. I will not say Grant will flower up any training plans, it’s hard work, it’s solid numbers based on factual analysis of your performance against his custom made plans. He delivers results - period. While doing that he has a very calm professional approach to his coaching style and helps you believe that YOU CAN also deliver the results. 100% professional".

"I engaged Grant as a Coach in August '21 when I decided to do the Mallorca 312 . I can honestly say I've never been better prepared for an ultra race event and I peaked right at the exact right time. I'm so impressed with Grant that I've retained him for the 312 next April and for the Donegal 555 in August 22!! Grant has a very straight-forward and friendly approach to coaching and I can honestly say that if you follow the program he sets then you'll be really well prepared for any event you decide to take on, and indeed will enjoy the level of life-fitness you achieve!!"

Grant's scientific and structured approach, takes into account my age, time available etc, less (meaningless) time on the bike but more (value) work when on it. I have signed up for more training so I am ready for the Haute Route Alps 2022. I trust his methods and believe the data so look forward to getting into the top half of the group next time around! I highly recommend him "
