A-Grade – Advanced Racing
Racing at the highest level requires precision, alignment, and elite-level structure — this stage brings all your performance systems together so you can train, race, and recover at your absolute peak.
Pursuing Peak Performance
A-Grade riders train with intention, precision, and discipline — pushing toward the highest levels of performance. At this stage, progress depends on elite-level structure: advanced periodisation, strategic intensity distribution, advanced strength training, disciplined fuelling, and high-quality recovery.
Each coaching tier is built using The Winning Edge Method and designed to help you refine every performance system, strengthen areas that limit progression, and pursue your absolute best with the level of support and expertise that matches your goals.
A-Grade Rider Profile
Training Load: 12–18+ hours per week
Typical Riding: 6–7+ Elite-Level Structured, High-Performance-Focused Sessions
Rider Type: Advanced racer aiming for peak performance
On-Bike Training
Train 12–18+ hours per week using advanced, highly structured sessions that target peak aerobic capacity, race-specific repeatability, tactical execution, and the high-intensity demands of A-Grade competition. Every session has purpose, precision, and clear alignment with your long-term performance plan.
Strength Training
Follow advanced, periodised strength programming that refines power, durability, and movement efficiency. Strength training supports heavy race demands, reduces injury risk, and enhances your ability to express high performance under fatigue.
Nutrition
Execute high-performance nutrition that aligns with the demands of both training and competition. Refine fuelling strategies for race day, optimise recovery nutrition, and apply evidence-based approaches that support peak performance and consistent high-load training.
Lifestyle
Build a lifestyle that supports elite-level performance — aligning work, life structure, stress management, and recovery practices so your training can reach its full potential. Cycling becomes a primary focus, and everything around it is intentionally organised to help you perform at your highest level.
