About your coach

Hi, I’m Aleksandr Grigorev

I’m a professional road and gravel racer. I’ve spent eleven seasons with UCI Continental teams in Portugal (Sporting-Tavira, Efapel Cycling) and started the Volta Portugal eight times. I specialise in time trials and breakaways, and since 2023 I’ve raced gravel at the top level, including the World and European Championships. I live and train in Girona, Spain.

Everything I give my athletes, I’ve tested on myself in races.

How to build a season around key races, prepare for a time trial, ride a breakaway, pace a long gravel race and fuel properly. I coach with data: power, heart rate, TSS and form via CTL/ATL. But I always check the numbers against how you feel, how you sleep and your work schedule.

Key results

  • 5placeVolta PortugalPrologue and final time trial
  • 4placeVuelta AragónGeneral classification
  • 8placeVolta ao AlentejoIndividual time trial
  • 5placeUCI Gravel World Series, Font RomeuFinal race result
  • 10placeEuropean Gravel ChampionshipsFinal race result

I coach in English, Spanish, Russian and Portuguese.

Approach

How I coach

  • A pro’s experience

    Eleven seasons in the peloton. I know how a time trial feels at the limit and what decides a breakaway, and I bring that into your plan.

  • Data and real life

    Power, heart rate and TSS show the picture; sleep, work and family decide what the week’s plan looks like.

  • Road and gravel

    I prepare riders for road races, gran fondos and long gravel events, including fuelling and tactics.

FAQ

Answers before you ask

Do I need a paid TrainingPeaks subscription?

No. A free athlete account is enough: you’ll have the plan, comments and device sync.

What equipment do I need?

Ideally a bike computer or a watch with a heart-rate monitor. A power meter or smart trainer gives the most accurate data, but you can also train by heart rate and feel.

Is this suitable for beginners?

Yes. Basic is a great place to start: you get a clear plan and feedback, and I set the load to your current level.

Can I change plans?

Yes, from the start of the next month, for example moving to Performance PRO before your key race.

How much time do I need each week?

You can start with 5–6 hours a week. The plan fits your real schedule, not the other way round.

What if I miss a session or travel?

Message me and I’ll rebuild the week. You can also mark in your TrainingPeaks calendar when it suits you to train and when you’re busy or away, and I’ll build the plan around it. Life happens, and the plan should adapt to it.

Do you coach athletes in other countries?

Yes. Everything works online: the plan in TrainingPeaks, messaging and video calls.

How does payment work?

Monthly, at the start of each month: bank transfer, PayPal or Revolut. To stop, just let me know a week before the next month.

Why a coach instead of an app with automatic plans?

Any app adjusts workouts by formula. I look at your data, how you feel and your schedule. I’m a real person: I explain every session and prepare you for your goals. And the main difference is feedback: you message me and I reply personally.
