Wenzel Coaching is a world-class coaching organization lead by experienced and educated coaches who have ridden many of the rides our clients are seeking coaching.  We regularly train riders for strong finishes in well known rides such as the Death Ride and the Seattle to Portland as well as rides within the series of Livestrong, Tour de Cure, and AIDS Rides, among many others. Our coaches have developed programs based upon a foundation of both exercise science and practical experience that have helped hundreds of athletes reach their goals.  Whether your goal is to complete your rides faster, ride longer and harder rides, or prepare for your first endurance event or tour, a Wenzel Coach can help plan and guide your training to help you achieve success. 

We've built many of our programs for athletes who have jobs in the real world but who love their bikes enough to tackle long and tough rides. Each program gradually builds up in length and intensity of rides and other training. Road riding, mountain biking and any other form of riding preferred by the client are combined to provide a program that is attainable within the client’s general time schedule. An effort to keep the program challenging and interesting and within reach of the client's own motivation is primary factor.

When you sign up for a Wenzel Coaching program you get not only a written program to guide your training but also consultation with your own personal coach who will guide you the whole way. We work to match each rider with a coach in their specialty who is as familiar as possible with that rider's available terrain, weather and event conditions. Your coach can help you with questions related to nutrition, equipment, clothing, shoes, tactics, comfort, bike fit, event choice and anything else cycling related.

All programs include at least 60 minutes per month of phone or email consultation time with the Wenzel Coaching coaches to answer any questions and help personalize the schedule to their individual needs. (See the program level comparisons here.) Consultation time is one of the most valuable components of this program and all athletes are encouraged to take advantage of it. Additional minutes beyond the original included in each program will be billed at the One on One consulting rate. (Very few athletes ever exceed the allotted minutes each month.)
