§ 02 / Method

How the coaching works.

Four stages. The same loop every block. The plan only gets sharper.

01

Assess

Onboarding call. We map your goal, training history, available hours, strengths and limiters. Baseline testing if needed.

02

Plan

Your block is written from scratch. Intensity distribution, key sessions and recovery built around your week, not a template.

03

Coach

Sessions land in TrainingPeaks. Notes on the why behind each one. Message anytime when life or legs need the plan to flex.

04

Refine

Weekly data review. What worked, what did not, what changes next. The plan keeps adapting to the athlete.

§ 03 / Knowledge

Training science. Zero fluff.

The thinking behind the coaching. Open, free, and footnoted.

Training Load: Why Easy Wins

Three decades of research across running, cycling, rowing, and skiing. The best spend 80% at low intensity. Here is why.

Indoor vs outdoor cycling

One Hour Indoor ≠ Two Hours Outside

Indoor cycling is harder than outdoor. That is proven. But the 1:2 conversion ratio is lazy and wrong.

Tyre Kicker Performance

"Jesus, that's a grand car." Kicks the tyre. Walks away. Never drives it. The athlete who researches everything and trains nothing.

It's Lactate, Not Lactic Acid

§ 04 / The Coach

Coached by
someone who
still races.

Evidence Based Endurance is led by Daire Feeley — MSc Elite Sports Performance, six consecutive years as Ireland's #1 ranked Cat 1 cyclist, Rás Tailteann champion. The credentials matter because they keep the coaching grounded in what actually works under a race number.

The coaching philosophy is simple: read the research, race the bike, and only prescribe what survives both. No fads, no copy-paste plans, no training principles that fall apart the moment a real week intrudes.

Every athlete works full-time, has a life, and has limited hours. The plan has to respect that. That is what we build.

§ 05 / FAQ

Common questions.

Who is this coaching for?

Cyclists of any level who want a plan built around their goal and their week. From first-year racers to Cat 1 contenders — the principles scale, only the prescription changes.

Do I need a power meter?

Not for Foundation. Performance and Elite work best with power, but we can structure around heart rate and RPE if needed. We will discuss this on the onboarding call.

How is the plan delivered?

Through TrainingPeaks. Sessions appear day-by-day with full instructions and notes on the intent of each. You complete them, the data syncs back, and the review loop begins.

What if my week changes last minute?

Message the coach. Real life happens — shift work, family, weather, illness. The plan flexes around you, not the other way round. That is the point of 1:1 coaching.

How long until I see results?

Most athletes see meaningful change inside 8–12 weeks. Fitness adapts slowly. That is why all plans run on a minimum 3 month commitment.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes. Many athletes start on Foundation and step up to Performance as their goals sharpen. You can change tier at any monthly billing cycle.
