Welcome to the Seacliff Coaching blog. These blogs will focus on our experiences through training, racing & coaching, as well as featuring some of our athletes to share their stories. As many of you may be aware, in November 2024, I successfully received a heart transplant. Now, 9 months on, I thought it would be a great opportunity to share the journey so far! After over 3 years of not being able to train properly & race a bike, returning has brought some great reminders that can be applied to all athletes & some new lessons. Both of which have been further accentuated by the challenges of a new heart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/f9c234f0-6606-450b-9d4a-b942d42a6b35/IMG_7071.jpg Blogs - Training & Racing After a Heart Transplant: Lessons for All athletes - New Expectations Racing again 5 months post-transplant - 40km on the MTB is a lot tough than what it used to be https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/7127eb6b-187b-4b5e-b0d3-54a52ada30a3/att.qUc7JYFcnH1qthZEQON8GSMFmmNNdz7lDkA-L3JpLPg.png Blogs - Training & Racing After a Heart Transplant: Lessons for All athletes - Fuelling Minimising fatigue = maximising recovery. To best give my body a chance to battle the side effects of my medication, ensuring I was refuelling after training as soon as possible was vital for me to aim to recover from the session as quickly as possible. My go-to has been Proats with a few other ingredients to ensure I’m covering all the nutritional bases for recovery (carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats & antioxidants). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/7b3f02ea-2be9-4ba3-98c3-5b47188b17cd/IMG_6732.jpeg Blogs - Training & Racing After a Heart Transplant: Lessons for All athletes - Proactive Mindset A few times since my operation, I’ve found myself going into “survival mode”. It can be easy to fall into the trap of just ticking a box & getting things done, both in training & in life. Finding a balance of being proactive & doing the little things can do wonders for your mental & physical health & enjoyment whilst training. This could be as simple as planning your day the night before so you can wake up with a plan of attack, prepping your bike for training the day before or jumping on the roller to roll out that muscle that’s been sore. All these little things can add up to make both your general life & training less stressful & keep you on track for the long run! If you’re reading this, there is a very small chance you’ve had a heart transplant in your life. However, these lessons can be applied to training and life in general. Thanks for reading! Hope to see you out on the Road or Trail soon! https://www.seacliffcyclingcoaching.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/b7767664-c5c8-4a9a-8b52-47428f0fb2c5/IMG_5403.JPG https://www.seacliffcyclingcoaching.com/meettheteam daily 0.75 2026-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/690b144d-bf0c-4935-8f35-4dcc3426fd63/DSCF3934+2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/f4e2f652-81dd-4db0-96b7-41f021db5f58/IMG_9112.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/e9d891ff-5207-49d6-b42b-e343924e64ee/DSCF3942+2.jpg https://www.seacliffcyclingcoaching.com/pricing daily 0.75 2026-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/abfd5b57-5f2e-4c7b-b9a4-6cd748320e11/IMG_1566+2.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/f981b3b9-540d-42d8-99d9-2ccbe542069e/IMG_8268.JPEG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/a962ff26-1f30-4faa-a27c-8860d29cd3ce/IMG_7190.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/e0a2ea65-d931-4ed1-b3a8-ba059189d4e3/23.png https://www.seacliffcyclingcoaching.com/home daily 1.0 2026-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/09567d87-28bd-4ae3-9676-4cf3a090642e/IMG_8268.JPEG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/b71aaf65-ccb2-4b6b-88f7-1917e7ee55a5/WILLO20-0652.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/e394d053-e6e6-4dea-ad8c-9f4e358e378e/IMG_0383.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/0dc9de90-d370-433c-801d-1e04b5d44d4a/IMG_6280.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/8a417a22-92f1-4181-83ce-80f0909964f3/BF798580-7D6B-4A7F-8917-4E5B930B7DE3+2.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/41cc54e1-ddad-461e-9fc7-02f854705483/IMG_7190.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/1be81b35-9ecc-4396-bfca-b344ba016e08/IMG_8965.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/203eccc4-e81c-419a-88a4-e313e2ef5eba/bcf4b663-8f15-45ba-9c1b-d4b7a34181eb.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/6fc0b109-0bec-489f-bdc3-ea0943b90a30/23.png https://www.seacliffcyclingcoaching.com/core-values daily 0.75 2026-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/f9d12efa-17a3-4f1f-aeff-5979610a06ae/IMG_2873.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/961d518f-725c-4806-a25b-552f007d8472/C0BF6103-DE87-400F-BA39-C65E5501B3AB.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/bc208ba6-7370-4902-9e0f-13bb60428fcf/E5A1CB09-22B4-4AEF-B632-72261B9D79F1.PNG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/34b196e3-ec87-400e-b731-098e07cc365e/2986D45B-9740-4503-BA5C-C6C1FD6AEFBF.PNG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/92f0d91d-50cf-4bdb-a2da-eaca37ec6b3e/40F859F7-88FA-4276-BF7C-0B65A70860DE.jpg https://www.seacliffcyclingcoaching.com/faqs daily 0.75 2026-03-19 https://www.seacliffcyclingcoaching.com/merch daily 0.75 2026-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/9fb0dbe1-cd48-402d-b050-597ede810b17/DSC08307.jpg Merch Close-up of a person wearing a light pink and purple cycling jersey with various sponsor logos, standing outdoors with a hand on their hip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/738a80f3-00bf-4fca-8fc6-8dc48acb964b/DSC08236-2.jpg Merch A man riding a mountain bike through a forest, wearing a black helmet, sunglasses, and a white cycling jersey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/59654deb-ed5d-424a-8440-8c2dcb6e0ff5/DSC08275.jpg Merch Close-up of a purple and white athletic shirt with a logo for the Seacliff Coop Walking Girl event in Giron, featuring a mountain and sun graphic and text. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/db44d55b-7592-47c1-b387-d7a1f442be3d/DSC08213-2.jpg Merch A man wearing a white cycling jersey and black shorts riding a gray SANTA bicycle through a wooded area at high speed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/269e936a-0da3-430c-87d2-e0705a1b3711/DSC08377.jpg Merch A man in cycling gear and sunglasses standing with a bicycle on a dirt trail in a wooded area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68312a4aef6c0f73eddd24cf/09ad1649-477a-4e31-8dc4-2d1bc6cc2c1f/DSC08350.jpg Merch A woman in a light purple and white striped athletic jacket with various fitness and health brand logos. https://www.seacliffcyclingcoaching.com/skills-coaching daily 0.75 2026-03-19
