This is the information I need to set up your initial program.
Not all of these questions will have to be answered in their
entirety for instance you may not know what your exact goals are yet
and maybe you don't have any specific races or tours in mind right
now. That's OK. Just complete what applies to you.
If you would like to print out these questions, go

Please give me a detailed weekly training program showing the miles
you ride, and
how you ride for each of the seven-week days for your current
training.
You can type as much as you want
in each daily text box.
Your goals in cycling. You may just be having fun and want to
improve your racing or touring or you may want to go pro. If you
have two or more goals (you shouldn't have more than two or three
since having fun is assumed), prioritize them so I know which is
most important to you.
If
you are having any physical problems, are tired, have trouble
sleeping and such, please list them here as well as any other
medical problems I need to know about:
On-Season

Please send me your racing or touring schedule with your races
or touring events in chronological order. I need to know the name of

Off-Season
Information
If
you want me to program you for cross training, you need to
provide me with a list of the events you can do on a regular
basis, how long is the longest you normally do them in miles,
kilometers, laps, or time and on which days you can do these
events if there are any restrictions.
I need to know whether you prefer training on the bike, cross
training, or a combination of the two (for off season only.)
Training
Rides
Let
me know about any training rides or races, which might be
accessible to you during the week such as on Tuesdays and
Thursdays.
I need to know the
distance, day of the week, and whether the rides tend to be
flat or hilly. Also let me know how hard and aggressively the
rides tend to be.
Since all
of my riders that stick with the program do very well, as an
inspiration to others, I'm starting a Recent Results Page on
my site to post the results my riders have achieved. Please
let me know if you would like to participate in this program.
