James and Emily first met at the beginning of her athletic endeavors which was midway into James’s. An elite runner, he owned a running store and hosted training groups for which she quickly signed up. Despite the initial spark, it took a few years for the romance to bloom, but with some persistence on Emily’s side and a lightbulb moment on James’s, they eventually started dating. Now, 13 years later, they are married and have a beautiful daughter. Emily became a professional cyclist in 2018 spending 5 years racing internationally where she participated in iconic classics such as Fleche Wallone, Liege Bastogne Liege, the Giro Rosa, the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift and many more. James focused his energy on coaching Emily, providing her with unconditional support while taking care of Marijke, their daughter. He also began a coaching business and developed a reputation for his thoughtful, highly informed and effective style. Now after many years of discussing the possibility, James and Emily are joining their expertise and beginning a coaching journey together. With Emily’s cycling knowledge ranging from the highest level of road racing, to 200-mile endurance events such as Unbound Gravel, combined with James’s extensive understanding of the human body and how it responds to training stimulus, they are excited and confident to begin this endeavor.
