Rob Lockey and Optimized Endurance Services
17 June 2008
More than 1,400 professional coaches, personal trainers and dietitians use TrainingPeaks to communicate with and manage their clients. What follows is a profile of how one such professional uses TrainingPeaks in his business. Rob Lockey, the founder of Optimized Endurance Services (OES), is a coach who really believes in the value of good time management for his athletes. Not only does he use TrainingPeaks to efficiently communicate with his athletes, he also has created a mobile testing unit to allow for more rapid analysis of an athlete’s fitness level. With the use of a 31-foot Recreational vehicle (RV), Optimize Endurance Services can come to you to perform tests, analysis and consultations. The back portion of the RV has been converted into a lab complete with lactate testing equipment, computrainer, and screens for viewing analysis, all while utilizing your own bike. Once the testing is done you can shower if needed and then sit and relax as your coaches consult with you on your results. The beauty of the mobile lab is we can Optimize your time by coming to you. With prices based on the client’s distance from Rob’s home base, Optimized Endurance Services offers Lactate Threshold and Metabolic Rate testing for both runners and cyclists.

Rob also offers training plans for athletes ranging from beginners to advanced, including a Triple Bypass plan that specifically targets training for this exciting cycling event. All of these plans are designed to work seamlessly with Peaksware’s online training software at TrainingPeaks.com. As Rob explains on his website, “In today’s athletic market, computers and the internet are providing many ways to help endurance athletes improve themselves. The training plans written and provided by OES utilize the power of the internet and Peaksware as the background interface between the coach and client.” For more information on training plans offered by OES, click here. Rob also offers individual coaching consultations, which can serve several purposes. “Coaching consults can be used in a variety of ways. The most common are for strength training and one-on-one skills training on the bike. The use of this service by the client will allow for the training and improvement through education the coach provides.” For more information on individual consultations, click here.
In addition to the value Rob places on time management and efficiency, he also believes in working closely with each individual client to provide a unique solution for the athlete’s specific needs. “Coaching people for improvements in wellness, nutrition and sports is a team effort. I work closely with my clients to provide the tools needed for their individual success.” His ability to communicate complex theory and motivation to individual results with his clients allows Rob to choose a career that matches his passion and education. With a BA in Human Performance and Sport, Rob’s career-path evolved from a life-long passion for sports and competition, including cross-country running, track, duathalons and cycling. Rob most recently finished his eleventh year racing mountain bikes and placed in the top ten of the Mountain States Cup (MSC) for the seventh year in a row. His personal goal for 2008 is to Place in the top three in the Expert 35-39 class of the MSC.
