I help cyclists push their limits through personalised coaching and ultra-distance adventure cycling. ​Whether you’re targeting ultra-endurance races like The Munga or BikingMan, multi-day stage events like Cape Epic or Gravel Burn, single-day ultras, or simply want to ride stronger and enjoy the journey, I work with riders of all levels to reach their goals.

​

My Approach

 

You are more than your data. Many athletes and coaches place a strong emphasis on training metrics. Those tools have their place, but they don’t tell the whole story. I use data to inform coaching, not define the athlete. For me, real progress comes from understanding the person behind the numbers and how training fits into their life.

​

Together, we build a strong physical and mental foundation, so cycling remains a lifelong source of growth, challenge, and joy.

Coaching Program

 

Coaching is about far more than giving you workouts or increasing FTP. I understand the purpose behind the training, consider what’s happening in your life, and continually adapt the plan to the individual and their circumstances.

Athlete Journey

 

"Rafeeq helped me realize that anything, not just finishing an ultra-endurance mountain bike race is attainable. He helped me prepare for my first ultra. Each session had a purpose, and I went into the race mentally and physically ready. The guidance and support made all the difference." 

Sarah Atmore, Munga

“Rafeeq wraps you in that process and supports you on and off the bike. His knowledge, advice, and support are second to none. Having a remote coach feels like a risk, but somehow he knew me better than I knew myself. It felt like I was working with someone I’d known for a long time... he built that trust quickly, and it’s hard to describe.” ​
