ZNehr Coaching helps you get faster through expert coaching and personalized training plans.
ZNC is designed for serious cyclists in eSport cycling, road and gravel racing, cyclocross, track, mountain biking, and endurance riding.
Whether you want to earn your Cat 1 upgrade, get to a healthier weight, or finish your first century, ZNehr Coaching can help you achieve your goals. ZNC uses TrainingPeaks, Strava, and custom training diaries to log rides, plan workouts, and track the overall progress of our athletes.
ZNehr Coaching Philosophies:
Structure
Data
Flexibility
Psychology
Fun
STRUCTURE: Keep a training plan, log, journal, or diary that allows you to track your progress and aim for both short-term and long-term goals.
Training logs and diaries allow us to keep track of our training, lifestyle, nutrition, and recovery. We can use this not only to track our progress, but also look back and learn from our mistakes. One of our global philosophies is: Be a better person than you were yesterday. That applies to life in general, but also to cycling, specifically. If you can just be 1% better tomorrow, imagine what you can become in a year.
DATA: Quantify your training load, work output, nutritional intake, etc., to better track your progress.
Data help us identify trends, such as fitness gains or weight loss, and can serve as an important training tool for athletes. But while data may be useful, remember that data are not the ‘be all end all.’ Yes, w/kg should tell you how fast someone can ride up a hill. But, there are so many other factors – bike set up, pedaling efficiency, internal and external motivation, and perception of pain – that factor into this equation.
FLEXIBILITY: Life happens, and it’s up to you to deal with it and make the most out of your circumstances.
Whether it be a last-minute meeting, a kid’s soccer game, or a family emergency, it is up to the athlete and coach to be flexible with the athlete’s training. When life happens, a workout may need to be modified, time-altered, or completely scratched. Consistency is key, and missing one (or two) days of training is not the end of the world. At ZNehr Coaching, we have one-on-one conversations with our athletes to help determine the best training plan given their lifestyle and work schedule while also maintaining structure and flexibility to help them get the most out of each training session.
PSYCHOLOGY: The mind controls everything.
If your head’s not in the game, you are doomed to fail. A successful endurance athlete needs the ability to suffer (i.e., endure pain), both physically and mentally. An athlete can have all the natural talent in the world (perfect genes. anthropomorphic dimensions, and an off-the-charts VO2 Max), but if they aren’t willing to suffer, they will never be a successful endurance athlete. Learning how to manage your psychology and emotions can help unlock your peak performance potential.
FUN: Love what you are doing. Otherwise, you’ll stop doing it.
Endurance sports are hard, really hard – in order to keep your head in the game and achieve your goals, you have to keep it fun. If you’re feeling down or completely unmotivated, think back to what first got you into endurance sports: was it getting out of the house, imitating the pros, or spending time with your friends? Whatever it is, add it back into your routine, and have fun!
