For years, many of us in the cycling world, including myself and Matt Breeden, followed a traditional path: chasing race results, logging massive carbohydrate intake, and training with a singular focus on speed. We saw it work for young racers. We also saw a more concerning trend, riders, even dedicated ones, slowly fading away with age. The short-term heroics of a race plan were not built for the long game of life.
A few years ago I had a personal revelation about my own mortality and made a conscious choice to change course. I wanted to ride fast as I got older, but I also wanted to be strong, keep good bone density, and hold onto my flexibility and mobility for decades to come.
As I focused on foundational health, prioritizing protein, lifting weights, and reducing my reliance on carbohydrates, I found a new level of performance and vitality. It became clear that many other cyclists wanted the same thing. They just did not have a map to get there.
Traditional coaching programs simply were not built for a long-term vision of health and longevity.
That is why we founded Rollfast Coaching. True performance and a long, healthy life are not mutually exclusive; they are intertwined. Our mission is to make Rollfast synonymous with both high-performance cycling and good health. It is not just about winning the race. It is about being the 75-year-old on the group ride who is still taking pulls and putting the hurt on people.

Balanced challenges and comaraderie
Rollfast at Water Tower Ranch was an awesome experience. Having riders of all different skill levels really pushed me both mentally and physically each day, and I loved that balance of challenge and camaraderie. Coming back to the ranch every evening made it easy to relax and recharge...it was the perfect setting for a great week of riding.
Insightful coaching
Just great riding, super insightful coaching, great camaraderie, expert fueling and recovery advice, and unparalleled longevity insights. If you want to get most of your cycling trip, ride at the level you want to ride at then this is the camp you need to try.
Enjoyable week
The group of riders really made the week enjoyable. Everyone was strong, approachable, and easy to spend time with on and off the bike. I also brought my wife, who isn’t a cyclist, and she felt at home with the group and had a great experience as well.
Excellent
Rollfast Camp exceeded my expectations. The routes were well planned, the food and accommodations were excellent, and the instruction and overall coordination were handled professionally from start to finish.
Well organized
The Rollfast cycling camp is one the best organized camps I’ve participated in. Great location and accommodation without going over board on unnecessary frills.
Chris Is A Rockstar! "I have lost fat, gained muscle, and improved in athletic performance!"
Chris is an incredible wealth of knowledge with the ability to immediately apply that knowledge practically. She is constantly growing and staying on top of the latest research to provide the greatest care for her clients. She has greatly helped me in understanding nutrition as a whole and what I need as an athlete and just truly living a healthy lifestyle on the daily. With her guidance I have lost fat, gained muscle, and improved in athletic performance! There hasnt been a time that I didn't learn something when talking to her. You rock Chris!Chris and Matt are a double threat coaching team!!
Despite rewriting nearly my entire Power Catalogue, enjoying a level of professional service in which I receive a consistently and timely detailed workout schedule, have been the recipient of an incredibly helpful nutritionist, and performed to my goal expectations at several events in 2022, it wasn't until today, 18 months since first engaging and after a month of listening to Matt and Christine relative to moving more macros to protein, and saw myself hit a new top power number, am I now ready to fully, confidently, and strongly endorse Matt Tanner as a Coach, and Christine Tanner for her professional nutritional leadership. I've probably spent the last decade plus not consuming enough protein, and telling myself that my weight loss was singularly positive for my performance. While my healthy racing weight is somewhere between 147-153 depending on the day, I was stripping muscle to get there. I was never truly recovering and fueling in a way to achieve protein synthesis. I'm still early days, but to achieve a new max power, simply coming out a turn, on a group ride indicates that I have more room to increase. And this was NEVER on my radar as a possibility. I feel strong, fit, and fresh. If you're at a place where you want to get more serious about training, question if your best days are behind you or simply want to make a real lifestyle change to experience your best days ahead, text/call/email Matt or Chris. You won't regret it. I promise.***AMAZING***
I cannot express enough about how impressed I am with working with Christine over the last 6+ months. When I first started with Christine, I thought "here we go again". But, with her guidance, she has helped me transform my body in so many different positive ways and continues to do so. I have been on several fad diets over the last 30+ years of my life and nothing has ever worked. If it did work, once you reached your goal, you gained every bit of weight back and then some. But, with Christine, you will be able to actually transform your body to what you have always dreamed it could be. She will share her years of knowledge/experience and help you obtain any and all goals. Christine knows how to get your body to work for you. She will help you understand how your body works and what to do to make it work for you. If you are ready to successfully achieve the lifelong goals that you have been struggling with over the years and/or more recently and looking to change your body and mind, then Christine is the life coach you are looking for. Christine is AMAZING!!!Life changing
I am so grateful to have found Chris in Dec2023. I have been trying to heal my gut for over 20 years. I truly believe she is an answered prayer! I am finally healing my gut issues that have plagued me my whole life! Her guidance, knowledge, and direction have helped me heal in the 8 months I have been working with her. She knows more a medical doctor and I work in the medical field! Chris has a gift and I am truly blessed to have found her! I am not only healing my gut but I also lost 10 pounds without even trying. My accountability to her helps me stay on track as she takes the time to follow my progress. Chris is the best!Fit for Life
I have worked with Chris for just over a year. In one month she changed my life. Chris's no none since approach to nutrition is why it works so well. Chris's weekly meetings with you are more then just about your weekly nutrition its about your overall well being. Her focus is on you and she makes feel comfortable talking with her. I just turned 56 and I am in the best shape and stronger then I have ever been. Take that step give Chris a call she will change your life for the better. You will not be disappointed!!!!!!Life changing
I have worked with Chris few a couple years now and wow what a difference my time with her has made in my health and my life. When I met Chris I was not sure what she could tell me let alone do for me in my health journey to help me find answers to why I felt tired and out of sorts no matter I did. Fast forward - she listened to me and helped me find the solutions I needed now and for the future. I now have more energy, lost 3 pant sizes and found the food that satisfies me and makes me feel great. I found with Chris sustainable ways to live a life without inflammation and feel like I am giving up anything. Do yourself a favor call her and let her help you the way she has helped so many.Great experience
Working with Matt was a great experience. He was always available, attentive, and genuinely passionate about helping me improve. What impressed me most was his ability to really understand me as an athlete—identifying weaknesses, building on strengths, and guiding me with a clear plan. Matt’s coaching gave me valuable skills on the bike, from reading terrain to refining race tactics, and he also worked with me in person, which made a huge difference. Beyond cycling, he provided additional support that helped me grow both as an athlete and as a person. Whether you’re riding for fun or chasing podiums, Matt has the knowledge and dedication to help you achieve your goals!
My whole life feels rejuvenated
I’ve had a few coaches through my cycling career some I’ve liked others just didn’t jive but since I’ve started working with Matt I feel like not only my cycling but my whole life feels rejuvenated. Matt is super approachable and his wholistic coaching approach has made me better both on and off the bike giving me a newfound love for cycling.
Unique insight into the challenges master's cyclists face
His expertise in nutrition, fueling, race strategy, and workout execution is top-notch. Matt is always available to answer my questions and help me maximize my training to get ready for race day. As a master's cyclist, he has a unique insight into the challenges master's cyclists face and has been able to help me work through injuries, build strength, and avoid training fatigue. If you want to up your game and reach your highest potential, Matt will get you there!
Significantly faster with better results shorter recovery time
I was a year into serious cycling and was coming off a less than impressive year or racing in 2024. With the coaching I was able to complete Unbound and finish every event I have done in 2025 significantly faster with better results shorter recovery time.
I am much happier on rides
I have learned skills and techniques I hadn’t ever contemplated. The strides I have made not only translate to me being a better cyclist but I find that I am much happier on rides. Thank you, Matt, for being available whether in one-on-one or group meetings or on the road to provide useful feedback, guidance and encouragement.
I have been able to see a significant improvement
I have been using Matt as my cycling coach for the past 6 months. I had previously been using other coaches. I am a 65+ athlete that was interested in improving on my climbing abilities as well as gaining some improvements to my overall power. Since working with Matt and using the workout plans he provides I have been able to see a significant improvement in these areas.
Exponential growth
My growth as a cyclist has been exponential since I began working with Matt. His communication, attention to detail, and commitment to mental fitness are top notch.
Ride with a team that plays the long game
Fast now, and still strong in thirty years. That is the whole idea.
