About Rowe & King
Cycling coaching utilising the extensive experience gained by current professional cyclists; Luke Rowe and Dani King MBE.
Rowe & King Description
Both Luke and Dani were attracted to the sport from a young age and have enjoyed a cumulative total of 25 years racing and training. Luke starting out on the back of a tandem with his father Courtney, whilst Dani was picked up through the British Cycling Talent Team Programme, where the first assessment was to ride a mountain bike round the school football field.
Luke and Dani have since progressed through the youth, Junior and U23 ranks to reach the top echelon in the sport as fully-fledged professionals, winning an Olympic Gold, 3 x World Championships, completing the likes of Paris Roubaix, Tour of Flanders, a Grand Tour along with competing all over the world in the sport’s biggest events.
On their journey from aspiring youth to professional riders, Luke and Dani have tried and tested almost every training method. Through a development process with some of the world’s best coaches, both are truly equipped with some of the best cycling knowledge in the world today.
Aside from a drop of talent, the two most important factors that have led to Luke and Dani’s success are; hard work, applied to the right training. Anyone can try his or her best (as we all do! ) but it’s of limited benefit without applying all our hard effort to the right training. This is where Rowe & King can help ensure you get the most out of what you put in, by providing bespoke training plans which target your specific cycling goals, whether this be becoming a professional cyclist, gaining a 2nd cat licence, completing a sportive, performing at a specific event or simply becoming a better bike rider!
Rowe & King will use the extensive experience that Luke and Dani have acquired in their careers and use the same methods that have seen them rise to the very top of their sport. Ex-professional cyclist and British Cycling coach Matt Rowe will manage the business, whilst Courtney Rowe who is also a British Cycling coach and has coached Olympic Champions such as Rebecca Romero, plus Dani and Luke, will administer the day-to-day coaching.

After some ups and downs this year, great to see coached rider Denise Fitzgerald take the top step of podium at @thetourofcambs and qualify for the 2019 Gran Fondo World Champs in Poznan, Poland. One of many Rowe & King Riders that have qualified and will be making the trip! #RideOut #RideOn #Zwift #CycleCoaching #CyclingCoaching #CycleCoach #CyclingCoach #ucigranfondoworldseries #CycleTraining #CyclingTraining #Fitness #Performance #Cycling #FTP #TrainingCamp #PrimalEurope #Cycling

Fantastic day out at the Ochil Hills Sportive - definitely worth the 16 hours round trip in a van!
Throw back Thursday to a cafe ride with coach @jake_siddall & coached riders.
Cafe stops can always have a place in your training plan... HOWEVER... whilst a cafe stop can be good for moral, to freshen up, fuel & help you to train harder stopping in a purposely planned endurance ride will change the training stress & adaptions! Be aware of when & how long you stop for within training rides.
How often do you stop!? ūüöīūüŹľ‚Äć‚ôāÔłŹ‚ėēÔłŹūüćį #cafe #cafestop #coffee #recovery #cycling #moral #coaching #cyclecoaching #cyclingtips
Great session this morning with coached rider @jonesywales1968 on @gozwift keeping an eye on his sprint training from the comfort of our own garages! It’s amazing what you can learn about a rider in watching one session! #RideOut #RideOn #Zwift #CycleCoaching #CyclingCoaching #CycleCoach #CyclingCoach #Wahooligan #CycleTraining #CyclingTraining #Fitness #Performance #Cycling #TrainingCamp #PrimalEurope #Sprinting
Crosswinds - your heaven ūüôĆūüŹľor hellūü§¨? @lukerowe1990‚Äôs Top echelon tips below ūüöīūüŹľ‚Äć‚ôāÔłŹūüöīūüŹľ‚Äć‚ôāÔłŹūüöīūüŹ ľ‚Äć‚ôāÔłŹ
Being able to read a race, noticing when cross winds are coming up and being able to position yourself towards the front and critically in an echelon is a skill that is very difficult to master. Practice makes perfect. Watching the pros with a critical eye will help.
@lukerowe1990 top tips for riding in an echelon;... 1. It pays to be aggressive and proactive - don‚Äôt be afraid to call it and start an echelon when the wind blows from the side. 2. As soon as you have done your turn, ‚Äėget in the bubble‚Äô inside the wheel in front and out of the wind. Do this ASAP. 3. Don‚Äôt miss a turn! Make sure you get on the back of an echelon as you‚Äôll never make it back if you miss it. 4. You can regulate how many riders are ‚Äėin the echelon‚Äô by the amount of room you give (how far out you ride) - be aware of who you want in and who you don‚Äôt want in the echelon!
It’s a tactical minefield - but a hugely rewarding discipline to improve on!

Lead out training - it’s important to have your order correct, so the pace builds and builds to deliver your sprinter at max speed, 10-15seconds effort away from the finish line.
A single rider in the wrong position could split the team (by gapping your team mate) or cause a drop in pace as a rider is unable to lift pace.

‚ÄėChaingang‚Äô or ‚Äėthrough and off‚Äô is a world famous way of sharing the workload on a bike, during races, club-runs, sportives, a local group ride, anywhere! Being able to ride smoothly, safely and efficiently in a chaingang is vital skill. Practice at any opportunity you get - as cycling is much more than just producing power! #RideOut #RideOn #Zwift #CycleCoaching #CyclingCoaching #CycleCoach #CyclingCoach #Wahooligan #CycleTraining #CyclingTraining #Fitness #Performance #Cycling #FTP #TrainingCamp #PrimalEurope #Chaingang
Great day of bike riding - plenty of climbing, at the end of a camp causing huge fatigue! It‚Äôs obviously important to train hard and stress your body in a training camp environment, but it‚Äôs a fine line between stimulating gains and over reaching! Monitoring your heart rate on the bike (during efforts especially) is a great gauge! If your heart rate doesn‚Äôt respond (‚¨ÜÔłŹ) like usual, chances are you are tired and need an easy day or two! #RideOut #RideOn #Zwift #CycleCoaching #CyclingCoaching #CycleCoach #CyclingCoach #Wahooligan #CycleTraining #CyclingTraining #Fitness #Performance #Cycling #FTP #TrainingCamp #PrimalEurope
Day 4, Mallorca and the wind was BLOWING! Perfect opportunity to practice riding in echelons - learning new skills, working hard and the sun even shone ūüćģ‚ėÄÔłŹūüöīūüŹľ‚Äć‚ôāÔłŹ @love_velo_cycling_ #RideOut #RideOn #Zwift #CycleCoaching #CyclingCoaching #CycleCoach #CyclingCoach #Wahooligan #CycleTraining #CyclingTraining #Fitness #Performance #Cycling #FTP #TrainingCamp #PrimalEurope
Day 3, Mallorca - Capacity Efforts. It’s the big Power we can produce for a short period of time that often makes the difference in races / sportives. Being able to stick with a fast moving group, get up those short climbs or follow attacks - so many scenarios where packing a punch is of huge benefit. #RideOut #RideOn #Zwift #CycleCoaching #CyclingCoaching #CycleCoach #CyclingCoach #Wahooligan #CycleTraining #CyclingTraining #Fitness #Performance #Cycling #FTP #TrainingCamp #PrimalEurope
