Adrian Phelan
I am a 42 year old Triathlete and after qualifying for the age group world championships I reviewed my performance and decided I needed to improve my cycling. I talked to a number of people about various coaches and looked for one who would suit my personality and commitment and came up with Dave Lloyd because (1) he has been there and knows what it takes to win and (2) seemed like a no nonsense straight talking guy.
My PB for the 40km bike leg of a standard distance Tri was 1:07:49 hrs with no structured training and just doing my own thing.I started with Dave in October 2008 and he explained the structure of the base phase and subsequent phases. After the initial ramp test he sent me my first weeks training schedule and I nearly fell over in disbelief, I looked at the volume and thought he must be confusing me with Lance Armstrong!
I did however knuckle down and give it my best shot. I did as much of the prescribed sessions as work and family permitted. There were also times when I could not complete the sessions because I was just too tired but did what I could. I spoke to Dave at about 9 weeks in the depths of winter and said I was pretty tired and thought maybe it was too much for me with the swimming and running on top. Dave said hang in there and my body would adapt to absorb the workload, I must admit I thought I would keel over first.
At about week 11 I woke up one day and was on my way to work and suddenly realized that I was not tired for the first time in weeks and felt pretty good. Dave was right I had adapted and felt really good and that gave me the confidence to push on.As I progressed through spring and summer it was very evident to me because of the times and speeds I was doing in training that I was going to beat my PB but stayed focused and did not get carried away.
When I started with Dave I said I wanted to get as close to the hour as possible and thought that with the right effort I could get low 60’s and asked Dave did he think that was possible ? He very matter of factly said if I did the work I could do it and based on nothing else other than this I believed him.
I have only one more line to write here (thank god I hear you say) that basically says it all for me about Dave Lloyd.Did he deliver ? My PB is now 0:58:50!
