Cycling Coaching Reviews

Very professional and supportive in my training. The training is based around my lifestyle but also adjusted when my work takes over. Recommended for anyone that has limited time and needs cycling coaching to fit around their business lifestyle.

I have been through many coaches during my cycling career but no one has offered me the help sportcoaching has. From feedback and unlimited contact to the huge improvements I have made 30% increase in my FTP

I am two months already into the cycling coaching and already seen a marked improvement. Over 40 watts at my threshold power. I am happy, to say the least! Thanks for some great coaching and look forward to the rest of the season.

I have always been a runner since high school. Once I got older I found it hard to balance work, family, training and coaching myself. Graeme helped me structure the training more efficiently and helped me set new personal best times on less training than I did before. A really nice guy and a very good coach!

Daily feedback and quick to reply to my questions. Can't ask for a better coach to help your cycling.

A colleague recommended Graeme as a coach two years ago. My goal initially was to improve my running - and I have done that, but during this time I have also gone from being completely useless cyclist to being among the stronger cycling ladies in the region.

Used sportcoaching for 2 years to improve my cycling. I have been able to help increase my Functional Power Threshold with less time than I spent training before. The training was hard at times but definitely worth the improvement. Contact super fast whenever I needed questions answered.

Super happy with you as a coach. Good progress and several top positions in the bike. Good follow-up. Also perfect for me working shift. Creates program training as I work.

I have done the bike test today. I have improved a lot. Watt increase from 210W to 260W and also an increase in pulse from 158 to 164 bpm. The training has given even better result than expected.

First I like to say that I’m real satisfied with your coaching, I have learned a lot. Thank you!

It was hell, but a lot lesser of a hell thanks to all your help. Thank you so much for your expertise and time. Invaluable. – The Nyberg Bros

I met Graeme, and we decided that he would become my coach. He asked if I ate a lot of bread and pasta (read: you need to lose weight) and told me to stop doing moderately hard sessions, also known as JRA (Just Riding Around). Training should be either very easy or very hard—no more in-between. This was news to me, but it turned out to be the key to success.My goal was to develop as a cyclist and see how good I could become within the constraints of my everyday life. Besides increasing my FTP (Functional Threshold Power) to 300 watts, my main objective was to complete Vätternrundan in under 8 hours. Thanks to Graeme, I made it
