“Hills are now a pleasure rather than a pain”

Here is a testimonial from Paul, who completed the 12 week Cycling ESP program with Hit My Goal. He was so pleased with the results…he’s already signed up for this years winter training program!

When I first met Iain of Eat My Dust I had been cycling for a little over two years.

I thought I had made reasonable progress in increasing my average speed from less than 12 mph to over 14 mph. I had lost two and a half stones in weight and was fitter than at any time in the last 25 years. I approached Iain as I wanted to improve my speed and get better at going up hills.

Following a lengthy telephone conversation Iain explained that cycling is not all about speed but also about power and endurance. The speed would come naturally if the power was increased. I was fortunate in having both a Watt Bike Atom and a power meter on my bike, so it would be easy to measure power and track my progress.  The following 12 weeks were a revelation to me. Weekly strength sessions were enhanced by a daily exercise regime at home using only a 10kg Kettle Bell.

Throughout the 12-week programme Iain provided me with a bespoke plan in weekly segments and gave me feedback on my Strava results and the Watt Bike sessions that I completed at home. He provided constant motivation to drive me to levels of fitness that I did not think my body was capable of.  At the end of the 12 weeks program I can safely say I am hugely more powerful and hills are now a pleasure rather than a pain. I have already signed up for the next 12 weeks winter programme!

So, in summary, if you are keen to improve your cycling ability get in touch with Iain. You will not regret it. He has changed my whole approach to cycling and I now enjoy cycling more than ever.
