Hunter Allen, Founder TrainingPeaks WKO+
Hunter is a former professional cyclist for the Navigators team and has raced for over 17 years in Europe, South America, the U.S. and Canada. He is also the owner of the Peaks Coaching Group, Inc., and the co-developer of CyclingPeaks Software, as well as an Elite level USA Cycling Coach. He is a sought after speaker on training with power meters and is a featured presenter in many of the USA Cycling Seminars.
Widely known as one of the top experts in the world in coaching athletes using power meters, he has analyzed over 3000 power meter files and has gotten it down to an artful science. As the co-developer of CyclingPeaks Software, he set out to try to create CyclingPeaks Software from the viewpoint of bringing an athlete and coach closer, and also bringing a simple program to beginning Power meter users. His goal has always been to teach the athletes he coaches how to analyze their own power meter data using the latest tools. This goes hand in hand with his power meter training philosophy, that a power meter is a tool for an athlete to help discover their true weaknesses, quantitatively assess training improvements and refine the focus of their training.
Since retiring from professional cycling, he started The Peaks Coaching Group, Inc. and currently works with Olympic, professional and recreational athletes as well as people who are interested in taking a positive step towards good health. As a coach, he makes sure to look at each athlete as a whole individual person. He excels in designing a custom program designed for you. Hunter says, “I believe that we are human beings working closely with other human beings, and it's important that as a coach, I develop a realistic plan that works in your life. I work hard to find out your strengths, weaknesses, and help you to improve and hone your skills as an athlete.”
