TESTIMONIALS

Being a middle aged father of four working multiple jobs with a new baby puts me into the category of “time crunched cyclist”. After my latest kid,  I literally thought my cycling days were done and I was so bummed. So I went looking for any help I could get.  Coach Chi started working with me and was able to build a program that was goal specific, fit my time constraints, and was flexible. Today I’m at my fittest on the bike and feeling good. She listens to what you are looking to attain and sets you up with a plan specific for you, not a cookie cutter/one size fits all deal.

“Slower is faster, trust me.” 

I had given up on the idea of ever racing the Quick ‘n Dirty “Filthy 50” XC MTB race again. My last experience doing it was painful to say the least. I was done. With a family, 2 active teenagers and running a small business, I didn’t have the time to get out and train for that level of effort.

Fast forward a few years and I was forced to step on a scale on my 50th birthday. Terrible idea. But as a result, I swore that I would race the Filthy 50 for my 50th. But this time I would get a coach, use the Wahoo trainer my wife picked up during covid and do it right. 

Searching for an MTB coach wasn’t easy as most coaches were roadies, but I eventually found Coach Chi’s website. She was an accomplished club MTB racer. She had a formal education in Sports Medicine and lived in the same town as my business so she would know all the local trails. I felt that a female coach would be more intuitive and be able to fill in blanks on stuff I may not know how to communicate. Because other than hopping on my bike with a bottle of Gatorade Zero, I had no clue and I knew it. 

After the intro meeting, I had a great feeling about her style. She seemed like a great listener and really wanted to work with my schedule and my rare food allergies, on my terms. She was data driven which was music to my ears. And she was a real XC mountain biker. So I gave her a goal that was over an hour faster than my last time and told her I would do cartwheels down the street if I hit it!  With three months to go before the race, a heart rate monitor and the Wahoo Kickr data uploading to Training Peaks, off we went! She set me up with workouts and monitored my progress after every single workout I uploaded. I had time for the Wahoo in the evenings and 1 long ride each weekend and she adapted our plan to everything I threw at her, which was a lot!

Over the three months, Chi trained me up on heart rate zones, FTP, matches, nutrition, race day planning and more. At some point you have to commit and take a leap of faith. That point really came for us early around my second long ride. Chi was pushing my Zone 2/3 fitness and I had no idea how to go easy once I got outside on the trails. I felt like I needed to let it rip! “Slower is faster, trust me”, she texted as I was getting ready to start my training ride. Easier said than done, I only knew how to push and didn’t have time to get it wrong. But I did it. I committed and trusted her. For three months I did almost everything she asked me to do.

Even at the start line, I didn’t think I would ever hit the stretch goal I gave Chi at the intro meeting.  But crossing the finish line I actually did a little better than the goal! I’m still in awe at how that all came together. Over an hour of improvement? It’s an incredible result and there is no way I could have done that without Chi’s coaching and help. 

So yes, hire Coach Chi! Open your mind, trust her and commit!

I trained very hard and was tired almost all the time. I had pretty good results but I was looking for changes that could bring me to the next level. So about a year ago I hired her to coach me. Chi revamped my strength training making it fun and dynamic and she restructured my on-the-bike training, providing much needed focus. As a result I was not chronically tired and my race results improved.

Sometimes I tend to go overboard in life - training included. With Chi looking over my training plan, keeping tabs on my progress, and suggesting changes, I am much less likely to deviate from the plan or overtrain. As a result my workouts are more productive and enjoyable, and I have the peace of mind to go 100% with a lot less second guessing of my decisions.
