Ryan is an elite level cyclist who has been racing for 18 years. He currently rides for the Merida Elite Race Team (road) and Yeti Cycles Aust (mountain). Ryan’s program is comprised of strength training (core and lower body) and a heap of riding.

As he has set some large goals for himself, his program is based on 1000 riding hours this year. He has just finished the endurance fitness component which required him to ride up to 1000kms per week.

The next phase is intensity and that will include everything from hill repeats to motopacing (riding directly behind a motorcycle at speeds up to 75kph).

So, as you can see, Ryan is a serious athlete, but he’s also a pleasure to work with. He’s very motivated and always looking to move to the next level and enjoys a laugh (when you’re riding for hours on end through variable weather, you need to have a sense of humour!). Ryan is definitely one of our more extreme trainers. You can learn more about ryan at his blog here thechargingrhino.blogspot.com/

Next month we will feature a client that you and I can relate too…
