OPTIMA+L Performance Coaching
Following a scientifically structured periodisation programme which has been tailored to your unique physiology and event objectives is an invaluable approach to improved performance. Our expertise is in delivering fully specific programmes to sportive, club riders, and TTers to new entrant racers looking to succeed in the sport, seniors, veterans and masters who may need more direction and support to get to the next level. Many of our clients are returning from prolonged injury or illness, or after a few years out from the sport.
Our dynamic performance coaching cycling and running programmes rely upon the robust virtuous circle of TRAIN – MEASURE – ADJUST throughout a programme to remove trial and error, and maintain positive performance progression.
The CPS In-Motion OPTIMA+L process provides a comprehensive solution to maximise your performance, achieve significant objectives, results, and improve your competitive edge over the longer-term:
O – Organic fitness; training is aligned with busy routines to maximise results from sessions.
P – Physiologically-based; highlight performance strengths and weaknesses through athlete profiling.
T – Training specificity; match physical requirements with event demands for maximised success.
I – Intensity driven; intervals above threshold and polarised training for the time-crunched athlete.
M – Metabollically orientated; individual needs (muscle type) for strength and nutrition requirements.
A – Achievable goals; translates to maximising success at your event or performance objective.
+
L – Long-term; Long-Term Athlete Development is an important part of the bigger picture.
The main principles of sports and exercise science are applied:
- Competition analysis for event demands and performance planning.
- Physiological assessment, lactate threshold and critical power.
- Training analysis (with the Training Peaks platform).
- Acute and Chronic training monitoring.
- Illness and injury vigilance.
- Data storage and analytics.
- Feedback and learning.
