Pelican's Pain Cave Coaching
The past 20+ years of my life have revolved around all aspects of cycling and multisport. Owning a shop, racing, coaching, bike fitting, building some great clubs, and marketing! I'm currently a Managing Partner at Naples Cyclery,
I currently coach a group of Triathletes, Duathletes and Runners in SW Florida. My goal is to share what I was taught and learned from many years of racing. I am a Training Peaks Coach and use Training Peaks as my coaching platform. I require my athletes to track heart rate and power and to upload their workouts to the schedule I create in Training Peaks. I value quality over mass miles. Speed-work and racing on a regular basis, and proper form are the essential ingredients to getting results.
I have been an elite amateur athlete all my life and have been lucky to have some great coaches, mentors, training partners and teammates. I'm still active racing. I am a four time age group USAT Duathlon National Champion. In 2019 I was awarded the Grand Master Duathlete of the Year. Other top age group race results include Silver Medal and 2X Bronze Medal in the ITU Duathlon World Championships. Top 10 places in other discipline National Championships, 5th Place USA Track and Field Masters XC National Championships, 8th place USAT Sprint Tri Age Group Championships. 3X USA Cycling Masters Connecticut State Champ.

Good luck racing, enjoy the ride and don't be a stranger to the Pain Cave!

Greg is an awesome bike fitter! He has fit me on both road and TT bikes, the most recent being a Trek Speed Concept in which he dialed in my position to a T. I am so comfortable and fast on that bike that I can race a sprint triathlon, or do a 120 mile ride on it, without getting an achy back or shoulders. He is also a bottomless pit of knowledge on all things cycling!

Greg, is a consummate professional. Excellent communication after ever training session and race. He talks the talk, and then walks the walk with biking and running - there is a reason he is 2021 Duathalon National Champion. He trains with you. Join if you want to see results.

Can’t say enough good things about Greg Pelican’s coaching and bike fitting. He’s an amazing athlete and has experience in the business, working with a variety of people and brands. He’s done two bike fittings for me, my older road bike and new tt bike. Both fittings really made my ride more efficient and comfortable. He’s also been coaching me for 9 months. I started a total newbie; having only a couple rides using clip in pedals on the bike before meeting him. He started coaching me through each discipline, focusing on safety and form. He collects and uses data to inform his training plans and adjustments to form. By working with him, I comfortably completed my first Half Ironman in May and had my first podium finish in a Sprint Tri last weekend. You’re the best GP!!

Not coming from a running background I always wondered if I had the proper run form and if there was anything I could do to improve it. I always admired Greg Pelican's thoughful and informative Facebook posts not to mention his achievements in multisport, running and cycling ...I thought he would be the perfect person to do my run analysis. He did not disappoint. Using Dartfish video analysis and Garmin Run Dynamic Testing, Greg put together a complete and precise analysis which showed the areas I'm good in and also what I could do to improve my form and make me run faster. So anyone who has a need for speed and would like to run faster and better give Greg Pelican a shout out...you won't be sorry!!!

I try and do a fit every year to ensure any changes to my body are accounted for. Greg has fit me on my road bike and tri bike. Each time he works through his process methodically and professionally. It was obvious from the first few minutes that Greg has a wealth of experience. Always cool and calm, he is great with people. I would highly recommend Greg for the new cyclist or experienced racer.
