— Who's coaching
The café coach. With the lab notes.
I'm Matthew Butt. British Cycling qualified coach. Gym instructor and personal trainer. Training Peaks Level 2.
I race road and track. I coach at Lee Valley VeloPark with City Academy, with junior riders, adults chasing wins, and people preparing for their first sportive. I've supported athletes to national championships, ultras across Europe, gravel events, cyclocross, and paralympic tandem.
I'm also a BSc Sport and Exercise Science student, which means the coaching here is grounded in actual research, not just whatever's trending.
The races that shaped me most are the ones where I exceeded my own expectations. Those are the moments I try to set up for the riders I coach.
