New Training Plan!

With all the time off I have mending my broken hand, I've been spending a lot of time working on my coaching business. I just recently uploaded a training plan geared toward Endurance MTB racing for events that take 8-12 hours to complete. Temecula is right in my backyard and I wrote this plan with the 12 Hours of Temecula and the So Cal Fat Tire Epic in mind.

The plan is 12 weeks long and a 3-hour MTB ride should be within your limits before beginning the plan. Purchasers will get daily e-mails with workouts and weekly "check-ups" with me to see how you are doing. Additionally, we'll talk on the phone when you begin, monthly and before the race to nail down your race plan. Check it out!

Athlete Testimonials!

I love getting these "Thank You" e-mails.

"Eric has done a terrific job working with my available time to customize a schedule that helps me be very competitive at my races. I get to race time injury free, feeling fresh, and fully confident in my abilities. The structure of my weekly schedules is invaluable and his training and race experience is always insightful. Thanks Eric!"
