Q: Is AMP Coaching for me?
AMP Coaching’s aim is to continually search for the latest scientific evidence with respects to endurance performance. Therefore, you, as the athlete will always get the highest quality coaching..
Q: How will I receive my sessions and what platform do you use?
We use Industry leading TrainingPeaks platform. It provides a 2-way communication opportunity for both scheduling and feedback. A premium TrainingPeaks account is required but we cover this cost for you on most of our plans.
Q: Is there a set-up fee or contract period to get started?
No, we have never charged either of these as we like people to “want” to be on board and it challenges us to deliver the best level of service in order to retain athletes.
Q: I don’t want to be coached but would like to arrange 1-2-1 training or attend your training sessions?
No problem, we are happy to assist non-coached athletes and our training events are a great place to begin. We also offer 1-2-1 coaching sessions and consultations from £30 per hour.
Q: What equipment do I need in order to be coached?
As a start point it is fairly basic. A servicable bike, swim equipment and wetsuit, running trainers, a GPS watch with heart rate capability and ideally a Turbo Trainer (SMART). Power meters are desirable but not a necessity. Access to online virtual software such as Zwift or Rouvy will add value to your indoor training experience and all our workouts are exportable direct to your trainer. A TT/Tri specific Bike is nice to have but not a necessity.
