Championship Proven Wattage-based Road, Criterium and Time Trial Programs

Gary Tingley at San Diego Low Speed Wind Tunnel testing

Race proven and results oriented cycling training programs designed for road, criterium, and time trial specialists with detailed focus on aerodynamics, wattage training, strength training, and recovery. I've used these science-based proven training methods to coach a number of road and crit racers, time trialists, and triathletes (bike leg) from across the nation to wins and podiums at every level: from the first time racer to the multi-time national champion, in local popular time trials and road races, state 40k TT events, all the way up to State/District Championships, USA Cycling Masters Nationals TT and the UCI Masters World TT Championships. 

Over the past 7 years, my athlete clients have won 12 California SCNCA/CBR State TT championship and USAC National TT championship gold medals, with multiple bronze and silver podium placings using these custom wattage training programs. The structured yet flexible plans focus on one or two "A" level races per season, using other "B" and "C" races as preparation and training.

For optimal success with the program, I suggest use of a power meter (SRM, PowerTap, Quarq, etc.), a high quality indoor fluid trainer (Kurt Kinetic, 1-up, CycleOps, etc. or rollers), and 6-10+ hours total per week to train.
