Earlier this year I interviewed multiple National Time Triathlon Champion Matt Bottrill about his transition from cyclist to triathlete as he is currently in training to race over the swim-bike-run discipline in 2015. Expect to see him racing at the Outlaw Half, 70.3 Staffordshire and the Vitruvian amongst others.

After many years working for the Post Office, Matt is now a full-time coach through his www.mattbottrillperformancecoaching.com business, and his riders have had great success through the 2015 season. Such has been the growth that Matt has now confirmed the addition of Gareth Pymm to the coaching roster of the company.

Matt Bottrill Performance Coaching adds new coach to its growing ranks

Matthew Bottrill, the renowned British cycling champion, has announced the addition of a new fully qualified coach to his growing performance coaching company.

Gareth Pymm, who has been cycling since the age of 14, has been working with Matt for the past three years to perfect his technique and learn as much as possible from the British National Men's Champion.

Having now passed his level three coaching, Gareth is now fully compliant with both official training techniques and also has a unique insight into Matt's own individual training systems and methods.

Speaking of Gareth's appointment, Matt said: "I've seen first-hand how hard Gareth works after coaching him myself for the past three years. He is exceptionally dedicated to the sport and I'm sure he can't wait to share this with other cyclists trying to make it to the next level. Everyone at Matt Bottrill Performance Coaching is very proud of his achievements so far and we can't wait to welcome him to the team."

Gareth added: "It's been a privilege to work with someone like Matt, who has been at the top of his game for so long. Over the years I have learned a huge amount about what makes him tick, how to be successful and how to train like a champion. The next stage for me is to share this knowledge with other cyclists, and I couldn't be more excited about that."

Alongside his passion for cycling, which has seen him compete at club, open and national level, Gareth is also a keen triathlete with an interest in all areas of general fitness. He has experience in many cycling disciplines, including TT, road racing, sportives, touring and club riding.

Matt Bottrill Performance Coaching offers cyclists of all abilities the chance to improve their times, techniques and general fitness using the knowhow of champion cyclist Matt Bottrill and his team of coaches.

Specialised training plans include training schedules, one-to-one support, in depth consultations and support and help in preparing for races and events.
