Philosophy: Build your aerobic engine, identify your limiters, train specifically, achieve success.

Why Train with Us?

Our Training Principles

Building your aerobic engine is the basis for success in all endurance sports. Our principles are based upon the idea that we can build your aerobic engine using modern technology, testing and science while also adhering to the longstanding methods proven by success.

Aerobic Endurance Matters

Building a robust and resilient aerobic engine is the backbone of a successful training strategy. Staying 'in balance' is key to long term progress.

Aerobic Capacity Matters

Races are rarely won on endurance alone, achieving a high aerobic work capacity is crucial for putting your race tactics into practice.

Individuals need individualized training zones

Zones based off a percentage of 'threshold' aren't good enough for serious athletes who wish to achieve their true potential. Personalized zones based on your individual physiology are necessary to maximize your success.

Consistency is paramount

Long-term success requires long-term consistency. Training must be sustainable both mentally and physically in order to reach your potential over the long-term.

Training should be fun

You probably train and race as a hobby. It's possible to achieve your potential while also having fun, training doesn't always need to be super serious.

Don't reinvent the wheel

Endurance training has been around for decades, let's build upon the large history of successful training techniques and enhance it with modern technology and approaches.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Dive into the following questions to gain insights into the Max Power Coaching.

Is your name really Max Power?

No.

What are your credentials?

I'm a USA Cycling licensed coach, with SafeSport certification. I've raced bikes competitively for many years now and coached athletes to multiple state championships across various disciplines.

Is there a minimum term?

The most successful athlete/coach relationships are the ones that span multiple seasons, however if there isn't a good fit, there is no obligation beyond the current month. I want athletes to find the coach who can bring them the most success, I hope that's me, but if it's not, no hard feelings.
