“I couldn’t recommend Tobyn highly enough.

Tobyn’s training plan is tailored to ensure that I am in top form for my key races, and allows me to manage my training with a busy job. Tobyn is always on hand to make last minute changes to my training to fit around work and other commitments.

Tobyn provides invaluable advice and insight into race strategy and tactics, and is always looking at ways to improve performance and results.

Through Tobyn’s coaching I have exceeded my goals. My power numbers have vastly improved, as has my endurance and ability to repeat efforts. I have placed beyond my expectation in races, and have achieved my cat 2 racing licence in the UK this year, as well as being part of an Island team that achieved silver and gold medals at the NatWest Island Games.

“I started working with Tobyn following an accident in April of 2018 with aspirations of racing full-time in France. In this time I have seen vast improvements in all of my power numbers, as well as a substantially better understanding of race tactics. Tobyn’s first-hand experience of living and racing in Europe is second-to-none and has enabled me to come away with the best results of my career under his guidance, including two wins and a multiple podiums and top-10s this season in France. I am confident that without Tobyn’s help I would not be where I am today.

He manages to keep training interesting (as well as hard!) despite the fact that a large amount of my training is done on a 25 square-mile island, and understands the difficulties of balancing training and work through the winter. Having someone with the depth of knowledge he has is invaluable, and this has contributed to a vast improvement in my cornering and sprinting ability, as well as level of fitness. Furthermore, Tobyn provides an understanding of the difficulties of racing abroad and living in a forgein country- having been there and done it himself- and this together results in a flexible, bespoke programme of training.

I could not recommend Tobyn any higher, regardless of your ambitions in the sport, and am looking forward to working with him long into the future.

“I have only just begun racing this year and although I have only been coached by Tobyn for a short amount of time, my confidence in my ability and my understanding of racing has grown immensely. From the very beginning Tobyn has given me a lot of time, including long phone calls to explain racing tactics and sprint technique sessions in Leeds. I am really excited to keep working with Tobyn due to his support and positive outlook.”

“I have seen continuous improvement on the bike over the past few years since I started using Tobyn as a coach.
Tobyn’s first-hand knowledge for training and competing is first class, with structured training plans that are adaptive and achieve results.
Tobyn never fails to put things into perspective, praising the positives and constructively planning on how to improve the negatives. I’m the strongest I’ve been on the bike right now having just recorded a new peak all-time 20 minute power. Having a coach like Tobyn who understands you and shares your passion is invaluable.

“Tobyn and I have been working together for the past 3 years. During this short time, he has helped me to develop as an athlete and enabled the sport of cycling to take me to places I never believed possible. Since we began working together in 2016, I have been lucky enough to race all over Europe and further afield. Competing in two Island Games a Commonwealth Games as well as spending a season racing and training full time In Belgium.

We have seen huge improvements year on year in both my physical ability and my confidence as a bike rider. Sharing some great achievements along the way, from winning races locally in Guernsey and in the UK, medals at the Island Games, to qualifying for the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.

Without the guidance, planning and structure that Tobyn provides through coaching, much of this would not have been possible. I couldn’t recommend anyone more highly, no matter what discipline or goals within cycling you may have.

“I’ve been racing for a number of years, but my power numbers and racing have improved dramatically in just one season under Tobyn’s guidance.

Tobyn communicates with me regularly; he doesn’t simply plug workouts into Training Peaks and leave it at that. My working hours can be long and unpredictable and I have to travel a lot for work and to get to races. Tobyn works around those commitments and adjusts my training accordingly, often on very short notice.

Tobyn also draws upon the experience he’s gained over many years as a pro. He discusses race course profiles and tactics with me, and whether any specific efforts need to be built into my training in the run up to an event to prepare me for a climb or cross winds that may prove decisive to the outcome of the race. He also understands the impact that travel can have upon recovery, and the risk of illness it brings. He therefore factors this into my training, which is particularly important for me as I spend a lot of time in airports.

It’s details like this that set Tobyn apart from other coaches, and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
