CASE STUDIES

REAL ATHLETES.
REAL NUMBERS.
HONEST CAVEATS.

Long-form case studies of cyclists coached by Roadman Cycling. Starting point, constraints, the intervention, weekly structure, the outcome — and a caveats block, because real coaching has limits and pretending otherwise is the fastest way to lose your trust.

Quotes are verbatim from the athletes. Numbers come from their testimonials and TrainingPeaks files. Where a detail isn't public, we say so.

HOW WE WRITE CASE STUDIES

No invented numbers. No before-photo theatre. No “average results may vary” small print.

Every quote on these pages is the athlete's own words. Every power number, weight, and timeframe comes from their testimonial or their TrainingPeaks file. Where a specific detail isn't available, we either source it from elsewhere or we say it's not available.

Each case study includes a caveats block that names the limits — atypical timeframes, missing data, the role of genetics, where coaching alone isn't the answer. If we can't be honest about the limitations, we can't be honest about the gains either.
