Part two of our Goals discussion with Coach Tim Ramsden. Tim is an Association of British Cycling L3 Cycling coach and owner of blackcatcyclecoaching.com. This is Tim’s fourth appearance and his other shows on Cadence, Time Trialing for Newcomers and Sweet Spot Training were really well received.

Today we looking at the general topic of Setting Goals. Setting goals is of course something competitors are encouraged to do as it tends to focus training, but we want to delve into how to set realistic and practical goals so that the “journey” of training is rewarding and fulfilling. Welcome back Tim!
