Description

The story of Carmichael Training Systems starts with Chris Carmichael himself. As an Olympian and elite cyclist in the 1980s he raced all over the world, in everything from the World Championships and Paris-Roubaix to the Tour of Italy and Tour de France. Though he was always interested in finding new ways to perform better, he first realized he had an aptitude for coaching while training to return to cycling following a career-threatening broken femur in 1986. Soon after retiring from pro racing in 1989, Chris accepted a position as a development coach at US Cycling, using his experience to teach young athletes like Lance Armstrong, George Hincapie, and Bobby Julich how to excel at the elite level in international competition. Chris was one of the first coaches to fully embrace advances in sport science and technology that provided more precise measurements of human performance, including using the power meters with Lance Armstrong in the early '90s. By combining new science with sound coaching wisdom, Chris built the some of the most decorated US Cycling Teams in history.
