About Paul Mill

Hi my name is Paul Mill and I am the owner of Elitecycling. I am a former Elite road cyclist who now still competes at a high level but I am now distributing my time more between racing and coaching others. I am not only fully qualified by British Cycling as a Level 3 road- and time trial-coach but also a qualified road leader. I am also qualified by the Association of British Cycle Coaching (ABCC) and have a diploma in Sports Psychology. I participated in triathlon for a number of years at international level, and turned professional in 1991.

I was fortunate to be coached by Col Stewart (father of Miles Stewart) who was a double triathlon World Champion. I spent time in Australia training and racing with some of the major names in triathlon, stars such as Mark Allen, Dave Scott, Mike Pigg and Greg Welch and it was during this time that I first became interested in coaching and sporting development.

I returned to the UK after finding out that triathlon was not going to be a show sport at the Barcelona Olympics and changed my emphasis to a cycling career under the watchful eye of ex-internationals and professionals such as Tim Stevens, Simon Cope and Russell Williams. I entered the sport when it still had a healthy Pro class nationally and was soon winning races.

I have always been driven to train hard and race hard so that I had no conceivable excuse as to say I had failed through lack of trying. It is this attitude that is the driving force behind my Coaching philosophy. I work with many professional colleagues in all fields and through this can draw on the most up-to-date training methods in sports science, physiology and psychology.

I feel very fortunate to coach cyclists of all different abilities and social background who all have their very own unique targets, from winning serious races to simply improving their basic fitness levels and becoming safer on their bikes. Whatever your ability level I can provide not only the professional expertise but also the Motivation, Drive and Psychology to help you achieve your Goals.
