Frequently asked questions.
What is included in full service coaching?
You will receive a weekly training plan that will build towards your "A" priority races. Your data/performance will be analyzed weekly in Trainingpeaks and the training plan will be determined based on those data.
Your coaching fee includes unlimited email access and phone calls as needed.
Threshold and performance tests will be evaluated every 3-6 months, or per coach or athlete request.
We will provide heart rate, power and pace goals for your training. We strongly recommend a powermeter to maximize cycling improvement.
Webinars and clinics will be free for all full service coaching clients
How much does full service coaching cost?
Monthly coaching fees start at $150/month. Additional fees may be added for extra services.
What if my schedule doesn’t fit exactly with the posted training plan?
All athletes are different, with different time constraints and limitations. We know this, and we build some flexibility into our training plan to help you achieve your training goals. With the BASIC Training Peaks account, you are able to move training days around to fit your schedule. We can offer some guidance, as we don't advise too much manipulation of your training week because it can undermine your goals and performance. Please remember that having a plan is just the beginning; DOING the plan is the harder part! Athletes that are more compliant to the plan will reap greater benefits.
What happens if I don’t follow the training plan?
There are no penalties for not following the plan, nor are there any obligations for you to comply with your training. But if you want to improve your TT performance, you have to put in the work! Having a coaching program increases your accountability to follow your plan and achieve YOUR goals.
What is the benefit of signing up for a full year? What kind of training will be on the plan after race season?
Training will be focused on maintaining fitness after the last targeted race of the season. Having a plan that extends into the 'off season' gives the athlete some accountability, and helps keep you motivated when next year's racing is still a long way off! And purchasing the full year gives you the best per-month pricing for Stelleri Speed School.
What if I don’t live in Northeast Ohio?
You can still join Stelleri Speed School! We are proud of our team presence at local races, but we welcome women in other geographical regions to share our love of speed in their own hometowns! Please contact Pam or Angie for details and options.
How do I train over the winter, or when it’s too dark/cold/icy to ride outside?
We recommend a smart trainer, so you can ride in (relative) comfort and safety indoors. We also highly recommend interactive programs to pair with your smart trainer, such as Zwift, FulGaz, or Trainer Road (to name a few)
