Hit the turbo hard to perform in the big events

Dan comes from a talented family… his dad Lawrence was super-fast and still turns a nifty TT pedal!

Dan approached me as I had worked with other juniors in his club – he showed straight away that he had a great work ethic and a good understanding of what his body was capable of in terms of all-out effort. We began working together, using both heart rate and power to monitor the effects of progressively harder indoor and outdoor sessions: the vast majority of training Dan does is indoors, time-triallists realised long ago that this brings the best returns for your time.

Dan’s times improved… he went faster and faster… culminating in 2 successive wins in the Junior category at the UCI Tour Of Cambridge Chrono, and finally a Bronze medal at the CTT National Junior 25 mile Championship in 2016. Now a senior, Dan recently lowered his PB to a very short 21:00… a 20:00 ride is just around the corner!

"In the two seasons I have been working with Tim my ability has come on greatly. In the first season I dropped a minute and a half off my ten mile time, and then another minute or so the next.

Tim has a great understanding of my needs as an athlete as well as personal life and my sessions have been perfect for achieving the most for myself, most recently a National bronze medal.

I would not hesitate to recommend him as a coach for anyone wanting to go faster or further."
