About
My name is Jesper Therkildsen. I am a medical doctor with a special interest in cycling training, and it was due to my interest in exercise physiology that I chose to start my medical studies at the University of Aarhus, Denmark, back in 2001.
In my spare time I work as a personal coach for a couple of young, talented riders in Denmark, who have been representing the Danish national team for junior riders at several international races, world cups, world championships and European championships.
During the last 8 years I have increased my knowledge about training planning and physiology, and always tried to give the best advice to my riders. To be a good cycling coach, I think it is important to have a huge knowledge about physiology and to be up to date with the newest research results. I spend quite a lot of time reading articles in different international journals. When I find something that might be interesting, I will publish it on the website.
