SEMIPRO Guided Coaching
Guided is cycling coaching built around your goal, your hours, and your real life. We assess what you need first, build the right training next, then guide you week by week as you get fitter, faster, and more confident.

on 5–7 hours a week
“With their support, I was able to train for the Peaks Challenge on just 5–7 hours a week, something I honestly wouldn’t have thought possible on my own.”
What makes this different
Every athlete we coach starts with a Fitness Fingerprint — a six-capacity picture of who you are as a cyclist right now.
We read it together to find your Performance Lever: the one capacity most worth working on for the goal you’re chasing. Your coach builds the next 12 weeks around it.
Then we re-run the Fingerprint. Same six capacities, same lens, same measures.
If the work moved the needle, you’ll see it.
“Much more structured and consistent.”
SEMIPRO Cycling helped me become much more structured and consistent with my training. The coaching is professional, personalised and easy to fit around a busy work life. I’ve improved a lot physically, but also in confidence and understanding my training.

“+47W FTP in 12 weeks. 20-min PR at The Gralloch.”
I’d been cycling for 25 years, so it’s not a magic overnight fix — but the improvement is definitely there. The training load is monitored to not over-fatigue me, and it’s the most consistently I’ve trained in years. It’s not about the workouts you want to be doing — it’s the ones you should be doing.

“First B Grade win in 13 years of racing.”
I went for broke as advised with about 24 minutes to go, held the solo move, recovered after being caught, got myself in the right spot in the last kilometre, and hit the gas with 200m to go. Long time coming.

What changes with SEMIPRO
Every cycle starts with a Training Review that names the one thing most worth working on. Your coach builds your training around it. No copying what worked for someone else, no wondering if you’re doing the right thing this week.
Eight hours a week becomes eight hours that move the needle. Your coach watches your data, adjusts when it doesn’t fit, and tells you what to drop when life squeezes. No junk miles.
Work spike, sick kids, bad sleep, missed sessions. The plan adjusts before one messy week becomes three. Your coach is reading the same data you are — and responding to it before it becomes a problem.
“I went into Peaks Challenge thinking I’d survive it. I came out the other side stronger than I expected.”

Your coach
Kabir is your weekly coach inside Guided. He reviews your training every week, learns how you respond, gives feedback on your rides, adjusts the plan when life changes, and helps you understand what matters next.
About Kabir
After racing elite in his teens, Kabir, now 40, races gravel across Europe — bringing both high-performance experience and real-world perspective into the way he coaches at SEMIPRO.
“Coaching means helping you become the strongest version of yourself — for the long rides, the hard days, and the life in between.”
Feedback is mainly provided by Kabir, who looks after me with Damian overseeing the whole process. With Kabir being a fellow gravel racer we chat strategy, nutrition and yep — even tyre choice.
Damian — Founder
Coaching isn’t a system. It’s a practice. You look at the rider in front of you, figure out what they need next, and build the work around it. Then you check whether it moved them. Fourteen years in, that’s still the whole job — and that’s what SEMIPRO is built around.
— Damian Ruse · 14 years coaching · 20,000+ training sessions analysed
Guided is not direct 1:1 coaching with Damian. If that’s what you want, PRO is the better fit. Damian leads the methodology, training principles, and monthly Q&A — Kabir delivers your week-to-week coaching inside that approach.
