“I recently took up competitive cycling, coming from a background in international-level rowing. Having raced at the World Championships as recently as 2024, I know what high performance training should look and feel like. Transitioning into road cycling, Joe’s coaching has given me that same level of structure and demand.”

“Joe began coaching me when I had no prior cycling experience. In under a year, I went from never riding a road bike to completing an Ironman in 10 hours, including a 5h30 bike split. Switchback Performance sets itself apart through its personalized approach – Joe tailored my training plan around my busy schedule, balancing my training on the bike with my programmes for running, swimming and university studies.”

“The training was not only diverse and well-structured but also came with clear, achievable goals that kept me motivated throughout my journey. Joe’s deep insights into cycling metrics, such as lactate threshold and power to weight improvements, coupled with his qualitative feedback, helped me understand my progress on a much deeper level. I always felt supported and challenged in the right way.”

“I have been coached by Switchback Performance for over 6 months, and it’s completely changed how I train and race. As a busy medical student, Joe has helped me make the most of the limited time I have to train.”

“Joe’s a total data nerd in the best way — he loves analysing sessions, spotting patterns, and refining my plan to target weaknesses and hit my goals. He’s always checking in, offering encouragement, and genuinely cares about his riders’ progress. His passion and professionalism makes training focused and effective.”

“I have been coached by Joe at Switchback Performance for several years on the bike, during which time I have made significant improvements in all aspects of the sport. Since then, I have gone on to apply his training philosophy to long-distance running, where I achieved a 2:46:00 marathon within just 6 months of training.”
