About

LW Coaching’s mission is to make Smart MTB Training Plans for YOU

We are Lynda Wallenfels and Dave Harris. We each won a 24 Hour Solo National Championships title in 2009. Both of us winning a National Championship title on the same day was really cool!

Many of our athletes have achieved lofty goals too. Read through some of our athlete testimonials and race reports.

We coach mountain bikers all over the US from our home base in Southern Utah. Using TrainingPeaks, WKO+ software, email, chat, Skype and phone we keep in touch with athletes like they are next door. Developing a personal relationship and close communication with each athlete is important to us.

Business Principles

Excellence in customer service, fast response times, reliable scheduling, innovative custom training plans. We serve athletes and celebrate in their accomplishments.

LW Coaching Philosophy

LW Coaching philosophy is a blend of scientific principles, athlete joy and schedule reality. Each of these facets is a crucial part of a successful training program and race performance.

Lynda’s Personal Philosophy

My goals are to be the best coach I can be. I have been coaching endurance athletes for 20 years. I am a certified USA Cycling Level l coach. I strongly believe in continuing my coaching education and holding sport specific certifications. I routinely attend conferences and clinics to further myself as a coach. I also race. Racing myself is one of the many ways I become familiar with specific race courses, race distances and learn in detail what it takes to be a fast racer. Mostly I race because I love racing.
