Max Performance Bike Fit
 

Coaching Services

Mike McKovich provides comprehensive training programs using periodization to maximize your potential. All programs are based on your goals, equipment you currently have access to, and the time you have to devote to achieving these goals.

How Does It Work?

First Meeting

sample reportsYou will be asked to give an honest assessment of goals, competitive priorities, available time, discussion of any previous coaching experiences, current training program, most current racing successes or failures.

  • Performance Assessment

The performance assessment sets the groundwork for a successful athlete/coach relationship.

What’s Involved

  • Discussion of athlete’s priorities
  • Assessment of athlete's current fitness

Assessment of Athlete’s Current Fitness

Off-Bike: This program includes body composition analysis using Tanita Inner Scan Body Composition Monitor (Note: this is not considered a medical test! This information is used for training guidelines only) — basic strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body balance.

On-Bike: These tests are conducted using Computrainer and your bike.  They are a mix of Joe Friel’s Critical Power and Andrew Coggan/Hunter Allen’s Power Profiling. Each test is designed to measure the key elements involved in racing:

  • Neuromuscular Power
  • Anaerobic Capacity
  • Vo2 Max
  • Lactate Threshold Power

The results of these tests are combined with body weight result in a Power Profile and a measure against your competitive set. While these tests focus on power output, a key measure of cycling strength, they also provide information to set a cyclist’s PERCEIVED EXERCISION RATE and HEART RATE training zones.

Second Meeting

  • Discuss athlete’s fitness vs. norms

  • Complete explanation of program

  • One ride with Coach

Cost $365. Includes first month’s training.

Notes:
If you have already had a MAX PERFORMANCE BIKE FIT, the cost for the initial training program is $200.

I do require either a MAX PERFORMANCE BIKE FIT or a check of current position for all clients.

Testimonial

Coaching

“Most riders’ dream is to complete a mountain stage of the Tour de France. I chose the 2009 L’Etape du Tour, finishing at the top of Mt. Ventoux. Coach Mike McKovich’s training enabled me to go from ‘Will I finish’ to ‘Knowing I will finish and enjoying the entire day.’ Thanks, Coach Mike, for helping me attain this dream.”
