COACHING PHILOSOPHY
MY APPROACH TO COACHING.
I believe it’s important for athletes to understand the why behind each workout, as well as how each workout fits into the larger training plan. A knowledgeable athlete will be more confident, make better training decisions, and get better results.
THE FULL STORY
ABOUT ME AS A COACH.
My cycling obsession began in 2006, when I bought my first road bike after recovering from a running injury. I loved the bike right away and immediately started training and participating in local road races. A few years later, I tried racing cyclocross, and that became my passion every fall. I logged 125 CX races over the next 12 years! Eventually I also began participating in gravel races and events, and in 2019 (after much urging from friends) I started riding mountain bikes, too. I still compete as a masters athlete racing road, gravel, mountain bike, and cyclocross.
THE RÉSUMÉ
MY PROUDEST ACHIEVEMENTS.
I am a USA Cycling Level 3 and Power-Certified coach. I have multiple podiums in cyclocross, including six New Hampshire State Cyclocross Championship podiums (two gold, two silver, two bronze), a 3rd place finish at the 2024 Trans-Sylvania Gravel Epic stage race (50+) and several mountain bike race wins.
IN THEIR WORDS
ATHLETES ON COACH PAUL
Paul understands me and my needs and has been able tailor my cycling calendar/workouts so that I was able to achieve/exceed my goals. - Peter N.
Nothing but good things to say about my experience training with Paul. Knowledgable, responds to all my questions and requests, gives advance notice about upcoming events that may affect his availability, plan is always built out at least a week in advance in during transitions in training, encouraging during my successes and when I falter or make mistakes. Very reliable with our bi-weekly meetings. - Greg N.
Paul is a great coach for me. He definitely provides me with all of the great physiological stimulus guidance that I need to perform at my best with great attention to the right periodization of training with appropriate base-build-peak-taper taper phases of training. He has excellent command of what I am capable of despite my advanced age as I tend to recover and respond to shorter periods of rest, I think, a bit better than many folks my age. He has helped me to reach my goal of reaching the podium in my age group in a massive second tier-type amateur gravel race. In other road and gravel races this year I even hung surprisingly tough in a couple races that included more elite riders in my age group. - Bruce B.
Paul is a great coach and friend. I benefit from his thoughtful prescription of training to match the dynamics of daily life and upcoming events. - Ken M.
Paul helps to keep me focused and motivated; which I am especially grateful for coming right out of BaseCamp. He is good at seeing the big picture and explaining to me what was important from post workout analysis, where sometimes I don't recognize the key takeaways from the workout. I'm excited about working with him for the long term, and I greatly value his guidance and support. - Bill S.
