Who Are We?

Andrew Patterson has 20 years experience of cycle racing at all levels and through many disciplines and has been providing scientific support and coaching for athletes for 8 years, he has a Bsc (hons) in sport, exercise and coaching science, is a British cycling club coach and has a diploma in sports massage therapy. When racing Andrew was dismayed with the lack of good quality coaching available to aspiring club riders, and the poor feedback obtained from performance testing at some sport science facilities. To this end his aim is to uphold British Association of Sport and Exercise Scientists (BASES) standards and codes of conduct whilst providing a friendly, approachable, affordable and educational scientific support package to all athletes from those just training to get fit for one event such as the Etape du Tour, or those aiming to compete at a world class level.

Patterson Training is administered by Andrew's partner and elite XC mountain bike racer Jenn O'Connor. Jenn is the Team Leader for the new Patterson Training Race Team, following several years racing for a corporate pro team.

She has been racing at elite level in both XC and Endurance for six years, and is the UK's number one female endurance racer. Jenn is always on hand to provide practical advice on racing, as well as the various administration issues such as licensing, sponsorship and race entries.
