As you enter your winter training period, now is a good time to consider reassessing your riding position, your flexibility & mobility, and focus on eliminating any niggles that have arisen over the previous season. Even with Covid, we are still able to offer...
Working with Holly and watching her progress and develop over a tough winter of training, ready to move from youth racing to National level junior & Senior racing has been so rewarding. Sticking to the plans, managing school, lockdowns, gym closures, around training and then quietly punching out a top 20 in her first road race. With pro and GB team riders. Not bad. So much more to come, can’t wait for the rest of the season to unfold. Well done Holly!

So good to be trackside and to get back to real face to face (albeit masked!) and not virtual 1-1 coaching! Watching, listening and learning and ultimately able to support the progress with our coached riders we’ve already accomplished over lockdowns.
Great to be back and can’t wait to see the season unfold for @lilyybrindle and @holl_james 🚴♀️🚴♀️ #cyclingcoach #cycling #bikefit #cwfitnesspt
Some superb tight group work last night, high powered efforts and communication skills. Using smaller groups and making the riders listen and work together, and ride even harder! More sessions to come later this year, keep you eye out or send us a message on admin@jrcoaching.co.uk #developingtherider #itsyourride #coaching #britishcycling www.jrcoaching.co.uk
Skills, drills and development. Thursday session 2 was making the most of track time to build on race skills in preparation for the upcoming season. Some outstanding high and slow from the girls tonight in particular, and time for the sprinters too. Thanks to parents travelling upto 2 hours for the session. #cyclingdevelopment #britishcycling #cyclecoach #youthdevelopment #ciclismo #nationalcyclingcentre #jrcoaching #sport
New goals and new challenges for Lily this year moving up into the next racing category. With a perfect winter of on and off bike training in the bag, it’s been fantastic working with Lily and to now have the racing opportunities to turn the pedals and put the hardwork into action. Aggressive and punchy riding saw a brilliant sprint to 4th place this weekend in the No Nonsense crits, amongst some super strong competition. Well done Lily, so much more to come. #cyclingtalent #cyclecoach #britishcycling #coaching #racinggoals www.jrcoaching.co.uk

Integrity and honesty. Two traits we value above and beyond all others when we build our client/coach relationships.
As coaches, we are always listening, learning and developing ourselves. Building on existing qualifications, looking for areas to develop and recognising when we need to look outside our own resources.
Whilst £ doesn’t make the perfect coach or personal trainer, our investment into our time and personal development is continuous, looking for the best courses and providers to enhance our services.
Need to check a qualification? You’ll find Coach James on the British cycling coaches directory, https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/coachingdirectory/coach_profile/139281/coach or visit our website to find out a little more about who we are www.jrcoaching.co.uk #integrity #honesty #cycling #britishcycling #coachinglife
