PERFORMANCE Coaching By zone6cycling.com

Our programs will empower you to get the FORM you've always wanted.

Elite, UCI level coaching for road, time trial, and gravel cyclists. One to one performance optimisation for amateur, masters, and elite levels.

Founded in 2019 by Steve Whittington-Coleman, a former GB international & Olympic squad member,  Zone6 cycle coaching developed a methodology based on proven 'old school' training techniques backed by modern science & technology to create a modern coaching programme that suits both time starved athlete and pro's alike.

Decades of advancement in Physiological studies and technology, help understand why certain training techniques are effective, enabling the development of new techniques to optimise training efficiency that create the desired adaptations.  Deeper insights and developments in sports biology & bio-mechanics are bringing about levels of athlete performance that only 10 years ago were thought impossible.

Zone6 is a continually developing coaching methodology, not only for elite-level athletes, but also for amateur cyclists of all levels. 

 

AEROBIC ENDURANCE

Aerobic endurance forms the foundation and basis of everything we build on.  Like a pyramid, if the base is small, so is the overall area of the pyramid.

AEROBIC FORCE

Aerobic force is the development of strength with minimal blood oxygen uptake.  Together with aerobic endurance, this type of strength training forms the overall endurance capabilities required at later stages of a race.

ANAEROBIC FORCE

Anaerobic force is the power delivery when in anaerobic state.  Specific muscular adaptation is created through sessions designed to increase your power output at maximum intensity.

VO2 MAX

Your body's ability to optimise oxygen use at maximal output can be increased and improved with sessions designed to increase lung capacity and efficiency.

FATIGUE RESISTANCE

You will be trained to become more resistant to fatigue through sessions designed to generate muscular adaptation in type-1 & type-2 muscle fibres.

ANAEROBIC EFFICIENCY

Probably the most finite and difficult aspect of physiology to improve in fit athletes.  This is where we focus on a combination of breathing techniques with specific bike sessions to optimise overall anaerobic efficiency.
