• Do you love riding your bike and want to get in shape, but lack direction?
• Are you racing and not getting the results you want?
• Do you have trouble justifying $300 a month for personalized coaching?

In her years of working with athletes as a coach, Alison became aware of the huge gap between the typical rider who wants to improve their cycling and the huge cost associated with traditional coaches. With Alison Dunlap Coaching, Alison is filling that gap, bringing her world-class coaching to the athletes everywhere at an affordable price. You get professionally written, detailed training plans tailored for your ability level, with daily workouts and in-depth explanations for every type of workout. Here’s how it works:

Message from Alison
Do you dream of being an Olympic Champion? How about winning a world title, or maybe a national championship, or maybe you just want to lead the Tuesday group ride? Or maybe all you want to do is lose weight, tighten your stomach, lower your cholesterol, and find motivation to exercise? Alison Dunlap Coaching is designed to accommodate anyone from the elite athlete training full time down to the recreational cyclist training with very little time. Your ability level doesn’t matter. I have programs for every possible type of cyclist. The only thing you need is a computer, email account, a little motivation, and some time to exercise.

I realize that not everyone has $300-$800 a month to spend on personal coaching. I also know that not everyone wants the commitment of working with a coach on a day to day basis. But I do know that all of us struggle for direction and crave information, especially when it comes to working out or riding your bike. These coaching programs are the same ones I give my high dollar athletes (don’t tell them that). The big difference is there is no “hand holding” once you get your program. You’re on your own. You have to be your own cheerleader. You have to be your own personal motivator.

The program you’ll get is designed around your ability and commitment level. You’ll get a monthly training calendar, showing your day to day training. You will also get a monthly online newsletter with general coaching and nutrition tips and I will update my blog on the website with racing and training information. We give you all the information, then you’re on your own. It’s up to you to figure out what to do when chaos gets in the way of riding. And there’s no one to hold you accountable for the training you did or didn’t do. The only person you have to answer to is yourself. To make my coaching affordable and accessible to everyone, I have to put a lot of the responsibility back on your shoulders. If you’re the person that needs day to day hand holding, then this program isn’t for you. But if you’re looking for a top notch training program that doesn’t drain your wallet, come on board!

Thank you so much for all your support and advice. My season would not have been the same without your coaching.
I love the comfort and ease that comes with following your training plan. I don't have to worry about what to ride to get faster.
I hate to admit it but the climbing thresholds you had me do really helped. Thank you for all your help and support.
The knowledge of how much I have improved from February to now only elevates the fact that there is SO much to come.
