Riders on PeakFlow MTB:

Toon offers personalized and targeted guidance for my MTB marathon season. With a focus on strength, mental well-being, and recovery, his weekly coaching makes all the difference compared to training apps. Highly recommended for any athlete who truly wants to achieve results.

I've been working towards the Stoneman XCM Marathon for four months now and I'm really enjoying it. Having a weekly schedule and weekly contact with Toon is great. You can clearly see progress in training peaks, but you also feel your body getting stronger. You also get useful training tips; at the moment I'm doing kneading exercises in a bowl of rice for grip strength

After a nasty slide in Amerongen and a sore knee, I thought, I'd call it a day for the summer. Then I stumbled upon Peakflow MTB in the parking lot. I fixed the bike, put on a band-aid, and decided to give it a try! Now, seven months later, I'm really fit again. My knee is working again, and the fun is back. My coach is building it up smartly and with a nice variety, focusing on technique and the occasional tough workout. Thanks, just what I needed.

Targeted training for XC Marathon has clearly made me stronger and more durable. My weaknesses and injuries have almost completely disappeared, and I can now endure long efforts much better. The program is varied and functional, with strength, core, and MTB technique workouts. The only downside? The coach could be a bit stricter if I skip a workout

Are you hesitant about the XC Marathon program? Don't be. I've been training for an MTB Marathon for almost 6 months now and I'm extremely satisfied. The program is completely personalized, with weekly coaching and quick adjustments when necessary. In addition to the cycling, there's a lot of attention for core, mobility, and mental health. If I'm going too fast, Toon slows me down in time. Yes, it costs money and isn't the cheapest option online, but you get so much more in return. After 6 months, I'm clearly stronger and have improved enormously in terms of fitness.
