How It Works
Athletes' Experiences With CTS
Nina has been a tremendous aid to growing my strength and endurance on the bike. I like both MTB and gravel and she has convinced me the workouts are working to enable better cycling on all my bikes. I enjoy the explanations of what the goals of the workouts are. Before CTS I did not think I was data driven – and although I am probably still pretty low key on that compared to a lot of your athletes I like to understand the Why and then look at the results. But ultimately I get the results when out on the weekend rides.
Nina has also been a coach on the mental aspects when I struggle with feeling “good enough”. She is a great human and has an easy way of delivering advice and relating to me.
I look forward to continuing with her not only for a goal event but for year round growth.
I just finished the 120 miles of TransRockies in Colorado. My coach Sarah Scozzaro has been wonderful in my preparation for the 6 day event. I went into TRR feeling confident and completed the miles without any issues. She is always helpful and encouraging! Thank you so much Coach Scozzaro!
Ivana has been great. She communicates really well. Takes the time to get to know you and find out how she can help you to improve.
Got through my first 50k and building up for my first 50 miler. He is supporting me along the way with awesome coaching that is making me better.
Max understands how to coach, and what a cyclist needs. He’s easy to work with and responsive anytime I have a question or want to chat. I couldn’t ask for a better coach.
AJW keeps a close eye on my training and guides me to achieve my goals. It is a pleasure to work with someone like him.
In short, working with Duncan has been fantastic. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect, given Duncan is the first coach that I’ve had. However, having worked with Duncan for a bit over a year and a half, I couldn’t be happier. His focus on developing a training plan that balances both my competitive aspirations and life-balance is great. His knowledge and ability to discuss a wide range of training / racing / life topics always provides the right perspective when needed. His flexibility with our meeting / communication is great. Love the variability of how he structures trainings. And beyond all that, he’s just a great down to earth guy who I happy to have a good relationship with.
And if that all wasn’t enough, I had a very specific competitive stretch goal for myself the first day I began working with Duncan, which was to win the Kettle Moraine 100 miler. This was accomplished this past June and I wouldn’t have been able to do that, or the other lead-up milestones without Duncan’s partnership.
Best,
Mike
John has tailored a workout plan that covered a blood clot in my leg and me getting covid. John gave me good advice for buying wheels, shoes and a new Modone. He is easy to talk with. We discuss a wide range of cycling topics. I would be happy to recommend John.
Frederic has been great about adapting training when there have been bumps in the road and meeting me where I am at. I’m currently on a pause to recover from some health issues but I’m looking forward to working with Frederic again in a couple of months.
She has been pushing me – just the right amount. Is conscious of my weakness(es). She gives thoughtful feedback and makes me feel like she is genuinely interested in my training.
Duncan is very much in tune with my and my training circumstances, I am working through some injuries, Duncan considers the big picture and makes necessary adjustments, looking forward to getting this LT100 done!!
I don’t think there is a coach that could be working better with me, with my challenges.
I give him a 5 star rating…
I have been working with Allen since 2019. He really improved my power output and endurance during 2019, and then helped me continue to stay in shape and remain motivated all through the crappy lockdown months and through a couple of injuries that I sustained during that time. Now, he is ramping me back up again and I am feeling much more confident in my riding. He is super understanding and patient too. And, he has also helped me with getting over my fear of mountain biking, a sport which I now love doing.
Thanks to Matt I now ride the whole spectrum of efforts, from low endurance up to anaerobic. Before coaching every ride was just a hammer fest and I found myself exhausted. My Indoor workouts were so difficult that I began to lose fitness. Now I ride a much greater volume and feel great. I now understand that easy is just as important as difficult.
I have not worked with a running coach before and was training for the Leadville 50. I was connected to Neal who has finished both the 50 and 100 multiple times. He was a wealth of knowledge about the technical challenges of the course and incredibly helpful in managing my training plan. Neal even ran the 50 with me which was a blast. I was originally following a training plan I found online and doing far too much volume. I started to get tendinitis before talking to Neal who dialed back my plan and helped me easily finish the 50 several hours faster than my goal. He is also one of the nicest and supportive coaches I have ever met. No matter how bad my training week was, I always feel fired up and confident after talking to Neal.
Extraordinary and very professional and knowleadble . Very happy working with her.
If you are going to make “the big” effort, do it well. And for that you need the best; you need Charlie.
Matthew and I have been working together since Spring of 2017.
The carefully planned workouts are at the core of what I have gotten from Matthew. But honestly, sometimes his comments and phone calls have been even more important. He has been steady when I have been working hard toward an event, and when I have been allergic to my bike after months of training. He has been there when I was trying to make sense of a power meter for the first time, and when I had to take a long break to recover from a non-bike injury.
He has become ever more attuned to my need for rest. Pouring on hard workouts is EASY. Balancing hard workouts with adequate rest (especially as I get older) is much more challenging. Often he detects my need for more rest BEFORE I DO!
Our pre-event planning phone calls have been GOLD. Going into events with a clear plan and a back-up plan has been tremendously helpful. Of course, being able to de-brief my big events with Matthew is equally valuable.
Thank you, Matthew!
It has helped professionalized my trainning habits and to improve my running performance. Specially Trial Running.
Frederic is awesome!
The only think that I would say is that sometimes is not very clear what is the best way to follow up or keep in touch regarding training sessions.
Sarah has been awesome at helping me train smarter. The strength training has helped tremendously in making me feel stronger on the trails. She’s been awesome at adjusting training based on the scheduling constraints life throw at me. I recently injured my leg and having a coach adjust things and go to for advice has been amazing. I feel much more prepared than i have in the past.
Working with Ryne over the past several months led to a huge success in several ultra marathons. The longest distance was a 50 mile and there was also a two day event that I competed in. With Ryne’s coaching I was able to hit all my hydration and nutrition goals, able to finish, have fun and even place exceptionally well in my age group. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a coach.
