About trainSharp
trainSharp is the UK’s market leading performance cycle coaching company. Based in Lewes, East Sussex, UK.
trainSharp has experience coaching riders from Novice to World Tour level and have coached riders the world over.
Founded by established racing cyclist Jon Sharples in 2004, trainSharp made a name for itself being the UK’s SRM importer and distributor and due to its fully bespoke power-based training plans. Having coached riders such as Eddie Dunbar, James Shaw, Ben Turner and many more professionals trainSharp is now the one stop shop for all cyclists looking to go faster and take their training to the next level.
The teams
Developing the future of the sport has been one of trainSharp’s strongest domains within cycling. Jon and the team set out a Development Pathway to ensure that the Junior cyclist would get the attention and development they need to reach the professional peloton. With trainSharp’s excellent coaching, professional team contacts and world tour experience the package has proven to be very successful with big names such as Eddie Dunbar having passed through this process. Building on this platform 3 new teams were formed to bolster the development pathway with the aim of taking riders in at Junior level and taking them all the way to Elite. The three teams include:
1) Junior Development team
2) U23 Development Team
3) trainSharp Elite
The development teams take the Junior and U23 riders to a high level (Category 1 and Elite) to be taken onto the trainSharp Elite team. It’s at this point where the riders take on the biggest races in the UK and Europe to showcase their Talent to prospective professional teams.
Tenerife Velo
With 3 teams full of riders aspiring and aiming for the professional peloton, trainSharp needed a training camp setup to prepare the riders for their 2023 seasons. When looking for a location one area stood out – Tenerife. With the famous Mt Teide stretching well above the 2000m (the altitude that is generally needed for altitude training adaptations) it seemed like the perfect place. Once the area was selected, we came across TenerifeVelo and were instantly impressed by their professional training camps that provided everything the professional cyclist would require. The ability to sleep at altitude is a real bonus for the team and Tenerife Velo’s tailored nutrition will make sure the team gets the most out of the camp.
Train Like a Pro – Ride with the Elite Team in Tenerife
The Elite team riders and development riders will be flying out in January 2025 and should you wish to train like a Pro Team you can join us out on the Island next year as (limited!) spaces are available. To ensure this training camp is suitable for you we have a few guidelines. To ride in the development team group in Tenerife we are recommending riders to be of a Category 2 level and for the Elite team group you must be riding at a Cat 2 level or above. This is to ensure you get the best experience out of the rides.
We can’t wait to get the riders out to Tenerife to start 2025 season in this best shape possible – make 2025 your year and join us for a week of high altitude training with the Pro’s and Pro’s of the future
