About Me
I’ve been on two wheels all my life.
From BMX and mountain biking to motocross, road racing, and time trialling … I’ve always pushed myself to a high level and been obsessed with getting the most out of my performance.
That curiosity led me to SRM power meters back in 1996, where I was introduced to training with power at University of Brighton long before it became mainstream.
That was the turning point.
In 2003, after starting a family, I realised I had a real passion for helping others improve … not just riding myself, but coaching, guiding, and teaching riders to unlock their potential.
By 2011, I made the decision to go all in .. leaving my role as a college lecturer to become one of the first full-time cycling coaches in the UK.
Since then, TrainSharp has grown into something I’m incredibly proud of.
Over the years, I’ve worked alongside leading coaches and sports scientists, built one of the UK’s most respected coaching platforms, and become the UK distributor for SRM the gold standard in power measurement, founded by Ulrich Schoberer.
I was also an early adopter of Zwift, contributing training insights, workout structures, and testing protocols and later supporting the development of Zwift Academy.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with professional teams and athletes at the very highest level including:
• Adam Blythe – RideLondon Classic winner 2015
• Eddie Dunbar - 4th place on stage 6 of the 2025 Tour De France , 8th place 2025 Dauphine Time trail stage
• Holly Lawrence – IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion 2014
• Richard Newey – Race Across America finisher
But just as importantly I’ve coached thousands of everyday riders.
Because for me, it’s never been about level.
It’s about the process.
I enjoy helping any rider … any age, any ability, any discipline … achieve something they didn’t think was possible.
WHAT SETS ME APART
There’s no shortage of advice in cycling.
That’s the problem.
Most riders are overwhelmed, following conflicting information, or copying what works for someone else .. and wondering why they’re not improving.
That’s where I’m different.
With over 25 years in the sport and more than 2,000 riders coached, I know what actually works and more importantly, what works for you.
There are no shortcuts.
But there are smarter ways to train.
Avoiding the big mistakes.
Focusing on the right sessions.
Building a plan that fits your life … so not to let it take it over.
No copy-and-paste coaching.
And No guesswork.
Just a clear, proven path to you getting faster.
If you’re serious about improving and you want a coach who understands the detail, the process, and how to get the best out of you…
Please contact me - I’d be happy to help in any capacity.
