New Partner Alert!

We are very pleased to announce that ATP Performance Coaching is now a Science in Sport - SiS Elite Team, and that all coached riders will have access to the Science in Sport - SiS Elite Programme and discounts!

We only partner with brands where we believe the products they offer will be genuinely beneficial for the riders that we coach. With our heavy emphasis on appropriate session fuelling and recovery, we wanted to work with a brand that offers a comprehensive range covering all these requirements.

In addition to the standard range, coached riders also get access to the Elite product range that only Elite Teams have access to. This includes the latest sports nutrition products being tested and used by Professional sporting organisations.

We take no commission of any sorts from this partnership, we wanted it purely to benefit our coached riders so they receive the entirety of the discount. We appreciate that sports nutrition products are not cheap, so we want to do what we can to make life easier for everyone we coach.

The most important session you’ll do this month isn’t on the bike. 📝🚴‍♂️

Race season’s wrapped. Rest matters, if you’ve had your downtime, good, you need it. But there’s one more thing worth doing before winter training properly begins: sit down and actually review your season.

Not just “how did the numbers look”, a proper review:

✅ What went well? Which sessions or blocks actually delivered? What resulted in the best races?
⚠️ What needs to improve? Be honest about the gaps, fitness, fuelling, pacing, recovery, strength, resilience, consistency…
📋 What’s the plan? Turn those answers into specific, actionable changes for the winter block ahead.

This is exactly what we do with all our ATP Performance coached riders and new sign-up.

We review the data, turning it into real solutions across training, strength and conditioning, nutrition, calendar selection and tactical decisions, so nothing gets missed.

Riders who do this properly go into winter training with direction, rather than repeating the same block that got them the same results last year.

The 2027 season doesn’t start in January. It starts now.

Take 20 minutes this month, look back honestly, and build your plan before you build your training.

And if you need some support, ATP Performance coaches are on hand to support our riders.

The off-season is the part of the plan most riders skip, and it’s the part that decides how the next one goes.

A season of racing and events accumulates more than fatigue. Training load, travel, illness, race stresses, the niggles you rode through. Recovery between sessions clears none of that, and the mental side builds quietly alongside it. Burnout isn’t just being tired, it’s exhaustion paired with losing interest in the sport altogether, and the warning sign is subtle: an overtrained rider is still motivated, a burned out rider stops caring.

Yes, a complete break costs you something. In highly trained athletes, under four weeks of full training cessation can reduce VO2max by 4 to 14%. That’s exactly why the off-season isn’t a month off the bike. It’s one to two weeks with the structure removed, not the movement, riding when and if you want to, no targets and no data.

What you get in return is the thing that actually builds next season: the capacity to train consistently through winter, with intent, rather than dragging a winter block through on fumes because you never stopped.

Train the whole athlete.

Racing round up 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

gracie had some brilliant showings over in France in a UCI.1 and .PRO race finishing comfortably in the front group with WorldTour hitters 💪

Not racing, but Richard Sanderson continued his Audax epic rides with a 400km slog up in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Over the in the West Mids it was the Halesowen Academy and West Mids Road Racing Nick Clayton RR. A lot of coached riders were racing there and animating the race with some solid finishes. We want to take a moment to appreciate how well supported the West Midlands RR scene is and for everyone who helps with organising them and making them happen!

Race season’s nearly over. Winter training’s about to start. 🚴‍♂️❄️

Talk of FTP numbers is everywhere, group chats, café stops, Zwift races, straight into your training zones. But is FTP actually telling you the full story?

Most FTP tests are based on a single 20-minute effort at 95%, extrapolated out to a full hour. The problem is barely anyone outside the pro peloton can hold that for 60 minutes.

That’s why we test Critical Power (CP) and Work Prime (W′) instead. CP uses several efforts of different durations, usually 3, 5 and 12 minutes, to build a proper power curve rather than relying on one number from one test.

CP gives you your true sustainable threshold. W′ is your anaerobic battery, the work (in joules) you can do above CP before you fade, and it refills again once you drop back below it.

Two numbers, built from real data, instead of one estimate from one test.

Before you start structured winter training, get this right. We’ve built a free CP & W′ calculator, link in bio, so you can test now and set your zones properly before week one.

Ever tested your Critical Power before? Let us know 👇

Train the whole athlete.
