In this episode we chat about the pros and cons of choosing to coach yourself, versus choosing a free or paid training plan, versus hiring a coach. There are a lot of factors that go into choosing which is best for you. Things like budget, spare time, and the learning curve of each will play a big role on the route you should go. So if you are a cyclist, triathlete, or runner staring down a big season with big goals, and don’t have a road map yet, join us for another round of Coaches on Couches.

Some cyclist, runners, and triathletes just are not morning people. Which is odd, because most races start at the butt crack of dawn. But generally speaking, if you don’t knock out some training in the early morning, the chances of it happening diminish with every hour that passes. So on this episode we are going to give you some tips and methods on how you can change and create new routines that can lead to the incredibly efficient and productive habit of….getting your butt out of bed. If you are prisoner to warm blankets and snuggles, then you NEED to check out this episode to break the chains and actually get your training in. Hey, they are your goals not ours.
So let’s make it happen and start getting the worm on this episode of Coaches on Couches!

Today on the couch we are going to give you our exact recipe for making massive gains on the bike over the winter. This usually means a decent amount of indoor training due to colder weather and less daylight. But that’s not an excuse to hibernate! Nobody wants to revive their base fitness every single spring. On the contrary, a lot of athletes commit to do the work, and when group rides and racing start back up in March they are ripping people’s legs off!
If you are one of those cyclists or triathletes who poo poo the trainer, we’ll give some tips on how to learn to love…well at least tolerate it.
So if you want to be the hammer and not the nail this spring, join us for another episode of Coaches on Couches!
