JASMIJN MULLER
Experienced performance coach with the highest cycling coaching qualifications
My qualifications support me with requisite skills and knowledge, code of conduct and confidence to coach my clients to the highest professional standards.
I am an experienced, full-time cycling performance coach with the highest coaching qualification in the world: the UCI / University of Lausanne Level 4 Certificate of Advanced Studies in Cycling Coaching. I am also an Accredited Level 3 S&C Trainer with the UKSCA and Coach Assessor and Mentor for the Association of British Cycling Coaches. I continually invest in my knowledge and skills – currently I am in the final stages of a MSc in Sport & Exercise Physiology – and I enjoy throwing my ‘Duracell Bunny‘ energy into going the extra mile to help you take your cycling to the next level.
Specialist in ultra endurance cycling performance
I have particular expertise in coaching for long distance and ultra endurance cycling, both on- and off-road. Since 2019, I have helped numerous clients train for races and events such as Race Across America, Tour Divide, The Transcontinental Race, Silk Road Mountain Race, Atlas Mountain Race, VIA Race, TransIberica, Transatlantic Way, MittelgebirgeClassique, Race Across France, Three Peaks Bike Race, Trans Balkan Race, TransPyrenees, Basajaun, Rhino Run, Italy Divide, Badlands, BikingMan, Granguanche, Desertus Bikus, London-Edinburgh-London, Paris-Brest-Paris, Berlin-Munich-Berlin, Le Loop and many others. Although new events constantly get added to the calendar, there are not many ultras that I don’t know intimitately, be it from riding myself or coaching other riders ! As part of my MSc I am studying factors that influence fatigue in ultra endurance cyclists. I have also published articles and contributed to book publications on ultra cycling and female physiology.
Specialist in coaching women
I specialise in coaching women and care deeply about empowering more women to thrive in cycling, but also enjoy working with men. I can help you train for your first century, set a new time trial PB, improve your bike leg in a triathlon, thrive during a long Sportive or Audax, take on an ultra race, a multi-day cycling adventure or a record attempt… I have coached riders to win races and even become National Champions. I take pleasure and pride in guiding and supporting riders in their journeys of self-discovery in cycling, and how cycling can boost physical and mental health at all life-stages.
Passing on race-winning experience
As a rider, the ability to just keep going has helped me win various endurance titles, including Best British All Rounder, National 12hr, National 24hr and World 24hr TT Champion.
After hanging up my TT wheels, I have finished several ultra endurance cycling races as 1st woman and top 10 overall including Wild West Country (800km), BikingMan Oman (1000km), Race Around the Netherlands (1900km) and the TransAtlanticWay (1700km), and successfully completing Europe’s longest ultra the 7400km North Cape-Tarifa.
Bespoke and holistic coaching approach
- I offer a bespoke and holistic approach to training, taking into consideration body, mind and bike. My training schedules can include both bespoke cycling training and S&C support. If you are a multi-sport athlete I can also schedule (but not coach) other sports activities to ensure they don’t clash with your cycling. I regularly include knowledge transfer notes about physiology and sports nutrition as well as practical mindfullness and mental resilience exercises to apply to your cycling. During our monthly calls we can cover any questions you may have about equipment, kit, routeplanning and other related subjects.
- I know all too well the importance of fitting in your training alongside work, family and other activities as well as the importance to keep it FUN, with health being your greatest wealth and always taking first place.
- I have no taboos. I am open to discuss anything and in full confidence, whether doubts and fears, labia smashing saddle sores, debilitating PMS or menopause symptoms, or any other factors that influence your performance. I enjoy studying widely, helping where I can, and referring when I should.
Always investing in CPD
Learning never stops. My clients benefit year-on-year from my ever-increasing coaching experience and ongoing Continuous Professional Development. It would be rare not to see me doing a course on the side !
COACHING PHILOSOPHY
BE THE EGG is one of my favourite mantras. It comes from the quote:
“The same boiling water that softens the potato, hardens the egg. It’s what you’re made of, not the circumstances”.
It is a mantra that helps me in races and represents three important parts of my coaching philosophy:
- The guts and determination required to take on new challenges.
- The grit and resilience you need when the going gets tough.
- The importance of a holistic approach to training your body, mind and race craft.
