Adaptive training
Every athlete is unique and training needs vary. F/M’s training philosophy is based on the concept of adaptive training. As opposed to static training plans that lay out an entire training cycle based on a race goal in advance. Adaptive training plans unfold as an athlete trains and are modified based on their rate of adaptation. This maximizes performance gains and reduces injuries. Practically this means that training plans from F/M are delivered in two to four week blocks based on how an athlete is progressing.
Data Driven
With advances in information technology and sports science the ability to test and access very granular physiological data from an athlete is now possible. This allows a coach to closely monitor an athlete’s progress, analyze recovery, track workouts and modify training plans based on an athletes personal data. F/M utilizes the Training Peaks platform to deliver training plans in conjunction with STRYD Power Meters, INSCYD, Elite HRV & WKO4 software to do deep dive analysis.
1:1 Coaching
F/M athletes are coached 1:1. Athletes are monitored daily, have bi-weekly video/phone calls, unlimited emails and regular (4-6 week) testing sessions. The cost is $500.00 USD/month. F/M limits 1:1 athletes to 10 at a time in order to provide this highly individualized service.

The Process
F/M is a blend of art and science. The end goal is to get faster. No matter what your power meter says your race time is the ultimate measure of the success of your training. Before starting a plan you will fill out a questionnaire followed up by a video/phone consultation. The next step will be to set baselines. This will require lactate based field tests in conjunction a power assessment. In this way we can fully understand where you are at, what areas need the most training and finally provide a way to measure progress as you train. From there F/M will put together a training plan based on your goals, where you are currently at physiologically and how much time you can realistically dedicate to your training
