The reason for signing up to Njinga 1-1 VIP Coaching.
Although I was reasonably fit for my age, I hadn’t done much cycling before 2022. However, that all changed when I agreed to join a small group to ride from Land’s End to John O’Groats (LEJOG) in September of that year.
In the early part of the year, I trained quite hard, but informally and without any coaching input. That was OK up to a point – in May I did a 5-day, 612km ride in Ireland – but it was clear I needed to make a lot more progress before September if I was going to do the LEJOG ride comfortably and enjoy it.
So, signing up with Njinga was a way of locking in and focusing my training efforts, getting all the benefits of a more scientific approach, and being able to track my progress effectively.
The bottom line for me is the coaching worked and was first class. I was time pressed so the quality interval sessions and overall plan produced staggering results while kept me focused and accountable.
