How It Works
Athletes' Experiences With CTS
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.
Haven’t been working with Colin that long, made a change from original coach, and very happy I made the change. Very engaged, knowledgeable, adaptable, and pushes just the right amount. Finished my big race for the year that was primary focus and it’s been great having him help explore the next phases of training.
So far, things have been a bit slow due to an injury but I am expecting them to start picking up soon.
Patrick has been great throughout this injury. When I first signed up I was thinking it was something minor we can get through then focus on improving fitness. It turned out to be a more serious injury that I am finally starting to come out of. During this process, Patrick has helped me stay active within the constraints of my injury. This also included leveraging his PT expertise to help me with my rehab.
Now that I am starting to get into the position of being able to run again, I am looking forward to Patrick helping me meet and exceed my goals.
Andy and I started working together in 2007 when I was at a low level of performance, slightly above a recreational cyclist level. He has turned me into an international masters level cyclist. We are still together. I could not be at this level without him.
Understanding my limits and pushing me towards them and understands how to get me there! Truly understand how to train a cyclist!
Helping structure my workouts and educating me on nutrition. I also appreciate that she has taken the time to get to know me which I think helps with my overall training. Looking forward to continuing with Nicole.
I came to Addison with a stress fracture on my shin and having not trained for several months. He helped me navigate the progression back to full health and full training volume, and then a half-marathon PR in just a few months. I am excited to keep working with him and confident he’s the best guide I could have as I transition from road races into ultramarathons.
First , he’s super attentive . He pays attention to your work and life balance .. he also knows when something is off . He can tell if work is an issue or I’m not feeling well . It’s great to have a coach whom takes the time to get to know who you are as a person. In terms of my progress . I think were seeing some progress . I definitely have learned what specific power “feels” like and I expect my endurance has increased . We set some goals for early races this season so we’ll see in a week or so how much I’ve gained. all in All I’m very pleased.
Adam. What an amazing coach.
After having attempted my first 100 mile before Adam, I decided I wanted to take it serious and go at it again.
Instantly when I met Adam, he was very welcoming and on board in helping me reach my goals. I trained for 3 different ultras with Adam as my coach and the word I will say is, its like family. He was always checking in, having engaging conversations; it is like I was talking to my older brother all the while having the professional guidance and accountability as a coach.
I highly recommend Adam as any distance of an Ultra coach. He always considers all of the variables and angles of attack to the race. He always added a fresh perspective to my races that I did not consider.
Thank you for an amazing experience and for being an amazing coach.
You are awesome Adam.

Coach Ruben has been the best thing for me as far as cycling and getting results from the sport I truly enjoy. Ruben really displays professionalism, concern and a passion as a coach. I am fortunate to have connected with him and being guided by him. Yes, indeed my game has changed. He has told me the steps we would be taking and how I would feel at the start of our program and sure enough it has been that very way. It’s amazing that he knows my body limits and I look forward every day to waking up and hitting the program he has layed out for me. He is a quality individual and I know he represents CTS in the highest degree. Can’t say enough good things about my coach….just super glad he’s my coach.
Tracey has increased my OVERALL HEALTH. That is mental, physical, and overall health. My goals of getting faster, and improving group riding skills, have improved. She is more than that, as she really is interested in me as a HEALTHY PERSON! She has communicated with my Physical Trainer in order to stay in “sync” in what we are trying to accomplish in “different blocks”. She is very encouraging,, knowledgeable, and goal oriented as far as having “fun bicycle goals” like traveling and trying other bicycle activities. . I feel VERY LUCKY to have her as a Coach.
Helped me focus on metrics, BPM, SPM, etc.

Anne is such an intelligent coach and does such a fantastic job caring for my progress and encouraging me to set goals. She also has her work cut out for me as I call myself her reckless client.
Being a catch myself Anne does a great job not only coaching but respecting my input and knowledge to the training process as well and I am grateful for that.
Anne has coached me to my first 50 milers, through 2 100 milers, and prepping for my 3rd.
Now we’re going to crush the triple crown of 200ss next year!
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.
After being picked in the lottery for Leadville 2024. I decided I would hire a coach to prep me for this lifetime event. Addison has been responsive, receptive, and encouraging. Great to talk with and great to work with in regards training as well as overall shooting the breeze. He has helped with fueling, pacing, and work throughout my whole process and I have no doubt I will get out there and knock this race out. If you are facing a 5k or 250 miler get with CTS and request Addison!
Ivana is deeply knowledgable on all topics of bike training. I’ve learned a college course worth of information in just a few months. She also is flexible and adaptable on training schedules and an excellent communicator. The encouragement and leadership role in coaching comes naturally to her.
I was skeptical of the benefit vs the cost of remote coaching, but working with Ivana has surprised me on how truly worthwhile this system can be.
Coach Clayton, is no nonsense, which has been great for me and helped me push through some excuses and busy schedule to get my workouts in. Looking forward to the final push for my season goal of SBG. Thanks Coach!
Max helps on several levels: First by creating a training plan based on my fitness level and goals, then by constantly tweaking it based on my progress and life realities. Secondly, he gets the mental/emotional/intangible aspects and is a very steady hand and good listener as I roller coaster a bit mentally and emotionally. He is patient and positive, but also persistent. The end result is I have what I would call positive accountability. I have achieved the overall fitness level I wanted and can easily ride with the strongest riders in my two groups. My climbing is way better and I can put the hammer down to close gaps or drag everyone along at a brisk pace for long stretches. I now have the confidence that I can take it to the next level because sticking with it has shown that it really does work. I am very grateful that Max is there for me.
I’ve worked with Coach Tamara for approximately 4 years now. She has consistently helped me achieve every goal I’ve set for myself up to 140.6 mile Ironman races. She is patient, flexible working with my schedule even with last minute changes, and holds me accountable. She is always easily accessible and her friendship and guidance has become part of my daily life.
Thank you Tamara 🙂
Working with Jeana is amazing. She has been extremely helpful in setting and achieving my goals. She is always positive and transmits a “can do” attitude. She is also very flexible in changing/adapting my training and goals when life sends the inevitable curve ball or injury. She works with both my wife and me and coordinates our training while at the same time treating us like individual athletes. She also takes the time to meet up with us whenever possible for a ride, skiing, or just a social get together.
