I have been training cycling for 15 years. During that time I have had an opportunity to learn a lot, also by means of observation or by reading training-related literature. I have also worked with several coaches; during training camps and being on the road with various teams, I could observe the work and attitude of other coaches.

I have been training cycling for 15 years. During that time I have had an opportunity to learn a lot, also by means of observation or by reading training-related literature. I have also worked with several coaches; during training camps and being on the road with various teams, I could observe the work and attitude of other coaches. I am a real sportsperson and I always fulfill the tasks assigned to me in 100%. As a result, I used to experience a continuous body overexertion and poor regeneration caused by an excessive volume and intensity of training. Every time I achieved my greatest successes, I was my own coach and I thought that was good for me. I believed I knew my body well. Unfortunately, with my tendency to overtraining, it did not take long for me to notice the first signs of fatigue - the strain of my knee joints. In January 2014, soon after I had bought a power meter hub, Daniel Paszek called me and asked me if I wanted to work with him as a dietitian. The cooperation has been perfect! I was delighted by the way Cyclotrener trained his athletes! Never before have I met a person of such an extensive knowledge and passion for his profession! The contact with athletes is exactly as I have always dreamt of. Frequent blood tests and communication prevent potential strain and injuries. In April I asked Daniel for help and coaching me this season, as I could not cope with the poor recovery of my body after improper training during the whole winter period (excessive volume and intensity). Thanks to Daniel I am in a great form again. He provided me with not only physical, but also mental support. Despite obstacles, he turned me around, so that I managed to win the Polish Cup general classification in MTB marathon and win a medal in the Polish Championship. I wholeheartedly recommend Daniel and his Cyclo Trener platform for everyone who wants to be treated individually and in a fully professional manner. The level of competence, as well as the quality of customer service is at the highest world level!

I began my cooperation with Mr. Daniel Paszek in December 2011. Thanks to Cyclo Trener I was well-prepared for the forthcoming 2012 season. As soon as after the first race of the qualifying round to the Polish Youth Olympic Games (Ogólnopolska Olimpiada Młodzieży) I took the second place, losing only by the width of the tire.

As soon as after the first race of the qualifying round to the Polish Youth Olympic Games (Ogólnopolska Olimpiada Młodzieży) I took the second place, losing only by the width of the tire. At the beginning of the season I could feel excellent cooperation with the coach. My results speak for themselves. Thanks to Cyclo Trener I stood on the podium during each edition of the Polish Cup (Puchar Polski), which I am absolutely pleased with. I took the second place in the Polish Championships (Mistrzostwa Polski) in Kielce. I took the fourth place in the Polish Youth Olympic Games and I was the only to be blamed for this fact, as saying in the cyclists’ jargon, I “burnt-out”. I believe that then I was able to fight for the T-shirt with the eagle emblem (which is Polish national symbol). I am convinced that the knowledge and skills I gained under the care of Mr. Paszek are of great importance in the World Cup, in which I currently take part and compete for a place among the thirty best athletes. I am of the opinion that if you start cooperation with Cyclo Trener and rigorously train, you are going to achieve results in world events, just like I do. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CYCLO TRENER! You won’t be disappointed!

In general, I could sum up my year-long cooperation with Daniel Paszek - Cyclotrener as follows: we met in winter 2010 to establish sports goals and then in autumn 2011 to celebrate their achievement. This is a year of a real teamwork. I am the ALPHA in this team - my task is to conduct the training rigorously and according to the plan and to prepare a report, and Daniel in turn is the OMEGA - he analyses, makes plans, contrives, experiments, constantly gains knowledge, and improves everything. Only this type of organization, where the responsibilities are clearly divided and distributed, can lead to results. I used to train on my own. I usually managed to be well-prepared for a single stage in a stage race in a season, but I was not able to maintain a stable, good shape during the whole year. I realized that the crux of the matter lies in combining work, family life, self-training, and taking part in races. My goals for the 2011 season were steep, thus I started searching for a coach. I met several coaches, including the well-known ones. Anyone but Daniel could satisfy my basic requirement - individual approach, flexibility, and constantly being in touch. That is why I entrusted Daniel with the responsibility for my sports development. We began with a precise establishment of not merely sports goals, but also physiological goals, and agreed upon the indicators to measure results (e.g. Watt/kg at LT threshold). Then, as Daniel says, there was only “hard work” :-). An important element of my cooperation with Daniel is the fact that he constantly broadens his knowledge, uses non conventional methods, and frequently puts me to strenuous tests both in the laboratory and on the track. What is more, my body parameters (blood, muscles) are very often analyzed and all the plans are based on the analyses of the indicators measured during trainings. Every aspect is carefully planned; nothing is a matter of chance. Each and every plan is based on knowledge or his own experience as an athlete. Daniel is not merely a planner. He isn’t a magician, either. What he requires from an athlete is his or her active involvement. We achieved the established goals during the IronBike stage race and Suzuki Powerade MTB Marathons. The 2011 season was my best season ever.

I started cooperation with Daniel Paszek in 2012. I was yet another cyclist setting ambitious goals for myself and expecting better and better results. After the efficiency tests I was a bit depressed as I had no idea that I was so weak. However, Daniel’s knowledge, experience, and excellent approach to an athlete soon paid off and after a year I was satisfied with my results. Daniel can be characterized by his vast experience gained during mountain marathons and XC races, extensive knowledge on training and supplementation, and growing knowledge on dietetics. With a clear conscience, I would like to recommend Daniel to every beginning and advanced athlete, and I can assure you that thanks to a bit of determination you can achieve A LOT, of which I am a good example.

I personally believe that every cyclist, at a certain stage of his or her development, really needs to train under the supervision of a competent coach. And Daniel undoubtedly is a person who, owing to his great knowledge and long-standing coaching experience, is able to deliver a new quality of training for every more or less advanced athlete. Under the supervision of the coach I managed to succeed not only in MTB races, but also in road races, and I am convinced that there will be a further progress of my form in the next months and years of our cooperation. Cyclo Trener takes care not only to keep the training plan always updated and tailored to a given athlete’s needs, but also provides invaluable assistance in the fields of dietetics, supplementation, or gym workouts. I absolutely recommend Cyclo Trener!!

Well, what can I say about my cooperation with Daniel, without repeating the usual “oohs and aahs”. The results of young people cooperating with Cyclo Trener speak for themselves. I am trying to compete within the Masters category, thus my goals and challenges are different.

Well, what can I say about my cooperation with Daniel, without repeating the usual “oohs and aahs”. The results of young people cooperating with Cyclo Trener speak for themselves. I am trying to compete within the Masters category, thus my goals and challenges are different. I have to set priorities in my life - family, professional work, and sport. Time is the resource that people like me have to be able to optimally manage. I also learnt by experience that when we take up something, we should do our best. Thus, I have a well thought-out approach to sport, and I know my limitations and possibilities. Cooperation with Daniel enabled me to optimize my training sessions, now I know what I should do and what for. Daniel’s wide knowledge gives me the sense of comfort that I work with a real professional. The exchange of information is always at the level I expect. I feel that I am somebody who my coach takes care of, and I know that my questions are never left unanswered. The sports results are just the effect of work and talent. And I do lack the latter :-) , that is why I set myself only possible goals. At the beginning of a season, together with Daniel, we establish the goals and gradually realize them. As a result, within 2 seasons I managed not to suffer any injury caused by training mistakes, which for overworked people is the key factor in achieving sports successes. In the 2014 season I won the M4 category in two cycles: Skandia MTB and MTB Marathon (G. Golonka), which I could not achieve when I was younger and trained under supervision of another coach. This should serve as the best recommendation for the Cyclo Trener services.

After a year-long cooperation with Daniel I can wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone, who has an ambitious approach to cycling and is willing to enhance their skills in this sports area. While training under his supervision, I managed to achieve 100% of my ambitious plans, which I set in October 2011 for the 2012 season.

While training under his supervision, I managed to achieve 100% of my ambitious plans, which I set in October 2011 for the 2012 season. It was a source of great satisfaction and motivation for further development. His involvement, professionally prepared training plans, and continuous contact combined with my efforts lead to measurable results. During this year I also learnt a lot of new things, I broadened my knowledge in the fields of the training, recovery, and dietetics and nutrition. Owing to cooperation with Cyclo Trener my trainings became more interesting and diversified, and directed to enhancement of those aspects, which need to be improved. My motivation has also increased - I can see significant effects and I am aware of the fact that my laziness could adversely affect the whole conception of my coach. I also gained much time, which I used to spend on planning trainings. In the 2013 season I am going to take advantage of Daniel’s assistance, too. I hope the FORCE will be with me!

I started cooperation with Cyclo Trener in the middle of a season, at the point when I began to lack ideas for interesting and developing training sessions. I became weary of cycling and thought of giving up racing. What is more, I felt that I took part in competitions being tired and not regenerated after the training loads of the previous week. In brief, I reached the point when I stopped developing as a cyclist as I lacked proper knowledge on the training methodology, physiology, etc. After the several months, which I have been training under the supervision of Cyclo Trener, I can say that it was in 100% the best choice and I assume that I could not fall on a better coach. This season has undoubtedly been the best one in my whole career as an amateur cyclist. I managed to stand on the podium in the strongest M2 age category in the two biggest marathon cycles in Poland. I rode together with athletes who a year or two ago were completely out of my range. What is the most important for me, however, is the fact that all the time I had a great time during training sessions and competitions for which I was maximally prepared. The variety of training sessions adjusted to my preferences and time limits enabled me not to use up my reserve of energy and enthusiasm throughout the entire season. Also now, I am longing to start the preparations for the new season. And, certainly, I am still going to use the services of Cyclo Trener. Frankly speaking, I see no other sports career path for me.
