If you are unsure which subscription is right for you, start with the monthly subscription and assess with your coach as you progress.

However, if you know you operate in a dynamic environment where life changes week-to-week and planning a month in advance is difficult? Then our weekly coaching will be more suited.

If your environment is more predictable, then monthly coaching should be right for you.

We aim to treat every member as an individual, not automatically lumping them into a Polarized, Pyramidal or Sweet Spot training philosophy. What is a priority though is enjoyment in your training and stress management. Thus, a major part of our philosophy involves integrating the riding you like to do with a structure that is proven and aligns to your personal goals. The idea is to implement this in a way that is also educational, so you can walk away with a knowledge-base, not just a daily workout plan.

All RCA coaches are qualified and have competed at a high level. However, our coaches offer different skill sets that may be better aligned to certain individuals. Thus, it’s very important to us that we pair you with the right coach. 

When you join the RCA the first step you’ll complete is filling out a questionnaire. This is a simple form that should take you no more than 5-10 minutes and will provide us with your current situation and goals/objectives. 

The RCA’s Head Coach will review this questionnaire and allocate you the most appropriate coach. Of course, if you have a preference for a specific coach, please outline this in the questionnaire.

A bike, a heart rate monitor, and ideally a power meter. An indoor trainer is not necessary but useful if weather conditions impact your ability to ride outdoors.

The RCA is an international coaching business. That is why we present our prices in USD. However, if you would like to pay in your own currency, please enquire via our enquiry page and we can set you up in your desired currency.

A bare minimum of 6 hrs per week in order to get value from structured RCA training. Most RCA members train on average between 8-12 hours per week. But we can train people that have more than 12 hrs per week.

TrainingPeaks is a training software that is used to prescribe and analyse workouts and overall cycling plans. We will also use this software for communication.

By communicating with your coach against specific workouts within TrainingPeaks, we can analyse your training session with ease, before responding to your communication. Additionally, TrainingPeaks has an App, which makes communicating with your coach very easy and efficient.

Our coaches have expertise in certain areas. Many RCA coaches have raced at a high level in track, road, mountain biking, and gravel. So we can cater to all these cycling disciplines at the RCA.

Every one on one session you have with a coach is an opportunity to pick their brain. All our coaches have raced at a very high level. Many internationally, and some professionally, so race tactics, nutrition, and mental preparation is all part of the coaching service

At the RCA we use online Google web meetings as our main direct channel, and of course, emails and the messaging feature in our training software, TrainingPeaks. This gives us incredible freedom to coach people from all over the world. We have members in the UK, Europe, Canada, the USA, Asia, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and others.
