IN THEIR WORDS

PLATEAU BROKEN

“I was an average sportive rider who had plateaued. Roadman custom built a plan to achieve my goals. I've gotten much more out of Roadman than I ever imagined. The coaches are very generous with their time and knowledge.”

COMEBACK

“I signed up for Not Done Yet after a bad accident in March 2025 and was struggling to get back to the same level. I was starting to lose my enthusiasm for riding. Four months later, I've got my mojo back and I'm really enjoying riding again. Just signed up for my first race this coming Tuesday.”

BODY COMPOSITION

“Anthony is a visionary, an educator, a mentor, a coach. He set me on a dietary, mental and physical journey of true discovery. Average wattage doubled and now weekly 100km+ rides are the norm.”

Chris O'Connor

ELITE-LEVEL EXPERTISE

“Working with Anthony has been a game-changer for my cycling. His depth of knowledge is truly impressive; whether it's fine-tuning my power zones, perfecting my cadence, or explaining the 'why' behind every interval, he brings an expert level of insight that is hard to find. Beyond the technical skills, his professionalism is unmatched. He's organized, responsive, and manages my training plan with a level of care and precision that keeps me motivated and injury-free. If you're looking for a coach who combines extensive, elite-level expertise with a thorough, data backed approach, I'd recommend Anthony.”

MOST CYCLISTS PLATEAU AFTER 2-3 YEARS.

You bought the power meter. Downloaded the training app. Did the intervals. And it worked — for a while. Then the gains stopped, motivation dipped, and you started wondering whether this is just your ceiling.

It's not. The problem isn't effort — it's structure. Training apps give you workouts. They can't adjust for a bad night of sleep, a stressful week at work, or the fact that your nutrition is quietly undermining everything else.

A coach sees the whole picture. That's why coaching works when apps stop working.

WHY A CYCLING COACH?

✓Plans that adapt weekly based on your data and life context
✓Nutrition guidance that targets your power-to-weight ratio
✓Strength programming periodised with your riding
✓Recovery protocols that let training actually stick
✓A private community of serious cyclists that keeps you consistent through bad weeks
✓Expert knowledge from 1,400+ podcast conversations distilled into your plan

COACH

THE FIVE-PILLAR SYSTEM

Most coaching is just a training plan. Ours covers everything that determines whether you actually get faster.

TRAINING

Personalised TrainingPeaks plans built around your life, your goals, and your data. Adjusted weekly based on how you actually responded — not how an algorithm predicted you would.

NUTRITION

Race weight, fuelling strategy, and body composition guidance. Not calorie counting — practical nutrition that makes a measurable difference to your power-to-weight ratio.

STRENGTH

Cycling-specific S&C programming that transfers directly to the bike. Periodised with your riding so you get stronger without wrecking your legs.

RECOVERY

Sleep optimisation, stress management, and adaptation protocols. The part most cyclists ignore — and the part that determines whether training actually sticks.

COMMUNITY

Weekly coaching calls, a private group of serious cyclists, and 1:1 plan reviews. The reason this works when apps and solo plans don't — you're surrounded by people who know your situation and are watching.

IS COACHING RIGHT FOR YOU?

YES, IF YOU...

✓Have been riding 1-2+ years and stopped improving
✓Train consistently but can't break through your FTP plateau
✓Want structure but don't know how to build a proper plan
✓Have limited hours and need every session to count
✓Are over 40 and feel the gains getting harder to find
✓Have tried apps and self-coaching and hit a wall

NOT IF YOU...

×Are brand new to cycling (start with our free Clubhouse first)
×Already have a coach you're happy with
×Just want a generic plan to follow without feedback

DAMIEN MALONEY

· FTP: 205w → 295w

“The system took me from Cat 3 to Cat 1. The structured approach changed everything about how I train and race.”

DANIEL STONE

· Roadman Cycling Club

“This really works. I'm training so much less than last year, at lower intensities and not getting sick. FTHR up from 175 to 180, peak HR up to 193.”

BRIAN MORRISSEY

· Age 52, shift worker

“From 315lbs to sub-100kg, and I'm still going. The accountability and structure changed my life — not just my cycling.”

COMMON QUESTIONS

IS A CYCLING COACH WORTH IT?

A cycling coach is worth it when you have been training consistently for 1-2 years and stopped improving, when you cannot figure out why your FTP has plateaued, or when you need structured accountability. Our members typically see measurable improvements within 8-12 weeks. At $195 per month, coaching costs less than a single bike upgrade and delivers better long-term results.

HOW DOES ONLINE CYCLING COACHING WORK?

You get a personalised training plan on TrainingPeaks that adapts weekly based on your data, life context, and how you responded to the previous week. This includes weekly coaching calls, 1:1 plan reviews, nutrition guidance, strength programming, and access to a private community of serious cyclists. Everything is remote — your coach sees more of your training data than an in-person coach ever could.

HOW MUCH DOES A CYCLING COACH COST?

Coaching is $195 per month and includes 1:1 personalised coaching with Anthony Walsh across all five pillars — training, nutrition, strength, recovery, and community. You get a personalised TrainingPeaks plan, weekly coaching calls, and a private community of serious cyclists. Includes a 7-day free trial.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CYCLING APP AND A CYCLING COACH?

A cycling app gives you workouts. A coach gives you a system. Apps cannot adjust for a bad night of sleep, a stressful week at work, or the fact that your knee has been sore since Tuesday. A coach builds your plan around your actual life and adjusts it in real time. That is why our members consistently outperform their app-trained years.

DO I NEED A POWER METER FOR COACHING?

A power meter makes coaching significantly more effective because it gives your coach objective data to work with. However, it is not required to start. Many of our members begin with heart rate and RPE and add a power meter later. We will help you get the most out of whatever setup you have.

CAN I GET COACHING IF I ONLY RIDE 6-8 HOURS PER WEEK?

Yes — in fact, time-limited cyclists benefit the most from coaching. When you only have 6-8 hours, every session needs to count. A coach ensures you are doing the right work at the right intensity instead of accumulating junk miles. Several of our strongest results come from riders training under 8 hours per week.

DO YOU COACH CYCLISTS IN IRELAND, THE UK, AND THE USA?

Yes. Roadman Cycling is based in Dublin, Ireland, and coaches cyclists across Ireland, the UK, the USA, and worldwide. All coaching is delivered online through TrainingPeaks, Zoom, and our private community platform. Time zones are never an issue — coaching calls are scheduled flexibly and all communication is asynchronous-first.
