I used FTR with my Performance Programme athletes this year and I cannot endorse Chris and the programme enough!
The educational trainings took us through everything from planning our weekly diet, fuelling training and recovery and preparing for and optimising race events. Chris not only shared his expertise but also delivered countless practical tips that made our nutrition planning workable.
I would recommend FTR to anyone that is serious about mountain biking, and I would say it’s essential to anyone aspiring to race competitively!
Who this course is for:
- You want to learn how to build your own nutrition programme so you have clarity on what, when and how much to eat daily to optimise your performance, recovery, health and physique.
- If you’re fed up with feeling empty, bonking on every ride and never waking up with strong legs. We’ll educate you from the ground up so you have the confidence in knowing that you’ll have good legs to attack any ride. However, even if you have good eating habits, this course is also essential for more experienced riders who want to refine their strategy to ensure no stone is left unturned.
- You’re willing to put in the work. Ultimately, this course works when you do. We provide the theory, the practical application, meal plan templates, and resources so you have all the necessary tools. But you’ll only get results when you invest the time to learn and implement
Who this course is NOT for:
- If you need a 121 coach and require more accountability and support. You’ll have constant access to the FTR coaches and community to troubleshoot and strategically plan, but unfortunately, an educational course can’t provide the attention that a personal coach can.
- Anyone who doesn’t want to put in the work and is unwilling to invest time to complete the course, action what they’ve learnt, and not ask the FTR coaches for help when they’re stuck. We cannot stress this enough: the course won't work if you don't put in the work. The more you put in, the more you’ll get out.
- Academics and anyone looking for the most in-depth scientific course available! We’re here to turn you into awesome bike riders, not professors. If you want a certificate or medal for completing the course, this isn't the right place for you. But if you only care about riding your bike faster and harder, we have you covered. Let’s go!
