Sportive Endurance Event Coaching Scotland
Whether you’re gearing up for a legendary sportive like the Étape du Tour, Mallorca 312, La Marmotte, or Haute Route, planning to tackle an audax, ultra-endurance event, or simply want to get the most out of your next cycling holiday or local sportive—Ride Revolution’s coaching can help you arrive prepared and confident.
These kinds of events aren’t your average Sunday ride. They demand hours in the saddle—often over consecutive days—so having a well-structured training plan can make all the difference to your performance and enjoyment.
From our perspective, training for major endurance events follows the same fundamental principles as race preparation. While the intensity and goals may differ, the focus remains the same: developing the specific fitness required for your target event. That means building stamina, improving Functional Threshold Power (FTP), and boosting your aerobic capacity—all while working within the time you realistically have available.
And that’s key—many of our riders train for these huge events on fewer than eight hours per week. We’re used to helping time-crunched athletes achieve big goals without drastically increasing their training load. The secret lies in smart, efficient planning and targeted sessions that focus on the areas that matter most.
Working with a Ride Revolution coach means you’ll benefit from personalised support that hones in on:
- Increasing FTP and VO2 max
- Building stamina for long rides
- Nutrition strategies for all-day energy
- Managing recovery and avoiding burnout
You don’t need a power meter to benefit, either. We can tailor your plan using heart rate data or perceived effort—whatever works best for you. Our aim is to keep things simple, practical, and effective.
We believe that quality coaching should be flexible and accessible. That’s why we don’t charge sign-up fees or lock you into long contracts. All of our plans run on a rolling monthly basis, meaning you can work with us for a single event block, or longer term—it’s entirely up to you. We also offer hybrid plans that combine structured workouts with the freedom to ride how you feel when the mood strikes.
If you’ve got a big event on the horizon and want to give it your best shot, let’s talk.

How our Cycling Coaching works
Initial Consultation
From your initial enquiry with us, our Head Coach, Jake Hales will contact you and arrange a phone appointment. We like to get a good understanding of your current situation, goals, style and general cycling history. Jake will then recommend the best RideRevolution coach for your needs, all are skilled and experienced.
Where are you at?
Your new coach will have a second, more in depth consultation and will analyse past data and training in depth as well as conducting tests to assess your current fitness level, strengths and weaknesses. This will then form a baseline to create a plan unique to your needs to maximise your potential development.
And so it begins..
Your coach will create a personalised training plan for you, using TrainingPeaks software to set and record your sessions. After each training session, you will upload your ride data. Your coach will review your training, provide feedback and set your next block of training. All training is bespoke to each rider.
Ongoing Development
Your coach will provide regular feedback and analysis based on your training results via phone, WhatsApp & TrainingPeaks, helping you continue to progress your goals and improve performance. Training will be constantly adjusted to suit your needs and maximise your performance for your current goals.
