You're doing it wrong.
Well send me your coach's name then!
One of my main concerns is that I want a coach to help me but not be too agro, I know I need to be a good fit for the coach as well and so I want a coach with reasonable expectations and disposition. I want to train and work hard with the time I have but I also want someone who understands that at least once a week I'd like to just get out and ride and enjoy it. While I know it's ridiculed here often, I am the guy that rides in a few charity rides a year (last year myself and 4 others raised over $13k for our annual MS Century Ride), it's one of the few times I get to ride with others and we like to be competitive. One of my goal events is a particular Fondo as well. I will be racing this year mostly for my own enjoyment and because I need goals to keep myself going since I ride so often alone (sob, sob).
If your coach would be a good fit, please recommend.
One of the coaches from Peaks that seemed to be a good fit let me know that even with the Bronze level that regular texts, emails were not a problem. I do understand that you pay a premium for the affiliation though and if I can find the right person without it all the better. To be fair you do save $19/mth since the price includes premium level Training Peaks (if that's important).
I do hope to have a great conversation with someone from here today as well, we shall see!
