Why we need to slow down to speed up

Centering, concentration, control, precision all enhance the mind-muscle connection.

Announcing an exciting new addition to my gym which I can’t wait to use with my clients – the Wattbike!

Unfortunately a lot of endurance athletes train with a ‘no pain no gain’ mentality – and I was definitely guilty of training with that mentality until I started working with my coach Eddie Fletcher, the Lead Sports Scientist with Wattbike.

The importance of posture for cyclists

Wattbike is the only indoor bike that accurately illustrates and measures pedalling technique to help the rider gain power and speed, and conserve energy.

Why is strength training so important?
