PCC Short Term Training Programs

Have a big event coming up or need to work on a particular aspect of your training? If you prefer to manage your own training most of the time but need short term assistance with one aspect of your training, we offer customized 10-week programs customized to you. These plans, available to Elite and Master’s riders, are designed to help you with just the aspects of your training where you feel you need help. Through extensive interviews we target your specific needs such as strength, aerobic work, sprinting, efficiency, and final tuning for a key event like the BC Bike Race, TransRockies, or Nationals.

The advantage of our short term programs is that they allow you to get help where you need it without having to pay for anything else. Often athletes want help from a coach with an aspect of their training like weights or specific sprint work, but want it without having to hire a coach for everything. That’s what these programs are about. Get just the focused coaching you want without the full commitment. These programs are aimed at building and improving on any weakness you may have and to complement your current experience in training and racing.

Programs are customized for each athlete. There are two packages available - Basic and Advanced.

Basic Packages

$345.00
(monitoring component not available)

Advanced Packages

$645.00
(includes program monitoring i.e. weekly assessment of
your progress and weekly adjustment as needed, on return
of your feedback form)
