Performance coaching for cyclists who want to achieve results.
I share my knowledge from professional sports so that you are physically, mentally and tactically prepared in such a way that you can perform when it counts.
Get better in a structured way.
Training requires more than just volume and intensity. It requires structure, experience and a clear idea of where the path should lead.
I support athletes who want to understand why they train, how individual units work together and who are prepared to take this path consistently — step by step, with a focus on sustainable performance development.
Individual training
Your training plan is tailored to you, your everyday life and your current level of performance and is constantly being adjusted.
Data-based analysis
Watts, heart rate and load are used to control training in an understandable way and to make progress measurable.
Professional experience
Experience from competitive sports flows directly into training design, realistically, practically and without illusions.
Personal feedback
You'll receive clear, honest feedback about your units so you know what's going well and where we should make adjustments.
I'm Karel Vacek
For me, cycling is a path that has taught me discipline, perseverance and the recognition that every day is an opportunity to move forward. I love the feeling of freedom on the bike and the challenges that every training session brings. Today I'm sharing my experiences — because I believe that you can achieve great things if you're consistent and know why you're doing it.
I experienced cycling not only as a competition, but as a school of life. Years in a professional environment, with victories, setbacks and doubts, have shown me that development happens where you stick with it, even when no one is watching.
I don't believe in abbreviations or quick solutions. For me, performance comes from clear processes, patience and daily work that is not loud but has an impact.
I pass on experience, honestly, minimally and without staging. Not as ready-made answers, but as support that provides structure, provides orientation and promotes responsibility.
I train people the way I trained myself: with respect, humility and full commitment. My aim is not short-term success, but sustainable development and clarity about why you do what you do.
I believe in quiet work. On units that look unspectacular but make the difference.
About daily decisions that only become apparent later. Results don't come overnight — they're the result of clarity, discipline, and consistent training.
Performancecoach
You work out a lot But something lasts you back.
Most athletes don't fail because of discipline or commitment. They fail because training, body and mind don't work together cleanly. When units feel harder than they should, there is no progress, or performance is not available in the race, it is almost never due to a lack of will, but a lack of clarity, structure and leadership.
You're driving easy, but your pulse is skyrocketing? A lack of aerobic base, incorrect intensity control or too much stress in the system mean that even basic units become ineffective. Without control in Z2, the foundation for long-term performance development is missing. The coordination between breathing, core stability and neuromuscular coordination is also important. We build up control — before we increase intensity.
As soon as it gets really hard, the legs tighten up or your breathing breaks in. This is often due not to lack of will, but to incorrect exercise dosage, lack of repetition quality or inadequate adaptation of the nervous system to high intensities. VO₂max is trained, not survived.
You invest time, kilometers and discipline — but performance stagnates. This is often due to unstructured training blocks, lack of periodization, or units without a clear purpose. More training is not automatically better when there is no direction. Each unit has a purpose.
Everything goes well until the decisive phase — that's when the final punch is missing. This could be due to a lack of fatigue resistance, incorrect tactics or a lack of specific preparation for racing situations. But that is exactly where the result is decided. But above all, the correct intake of carbohydrates is necessary. Finals are being prepared, not hoped for.

PERFORMANCE
Planning
Training is not improvised, but strategically built up. Stress, recovery and intensities are intertwined — adapted to your everyday life, your goals and your current level of performance. This creates progress instead of overwhelming demands.
Analysis
Data is not an end in itself, but a basis for decision-making. Performance values, fatigue and responses to stress are continuously evaluated in order to refine training — before problems arise or progress stagnates.
Communications
Success comes from exchange. You know why you're working out, when you should push — and when not. Feedback flows quickly, clearly and without detours. No standard answers, no distance.
Choose coaching, that fits your goals.
Whether you're an ambitious amateur driver or a performance-oriented racing driver — each package gives you a clear structure, personal support and orientation during training. You no longer train by feeling, but with a plan that fits your everyday life and goals.

Be part of a strong community
With Vacek Performance, you don't train alone. You'll be part of a community of athletes who work consistently, take responsibility for their journey and take performance seriously. Sharing, mutual respect and a shared understanding of training ensure that you stick with it — even on days when it's difficult.
Cycling has not only taught me patience, humility and the joy of hard, honest work, but also that every training session and every competition is a conscious decision. It's about knowing your own limits and learning to push them — not just physically, but also mentally.
I associate this attitude with Vacek Performance. My brother, himself a former professional cyclist and guided by the same principles that I work on a daily basis, created this project to enable other athletes to achieve their goals. I fully support this philosophy because it was born from real experience — from everyday life in high-performance sports.
Karel and I joined our first pro team together as 18 year old kids. We had been rivals as juniors racing for our respective countries, so I was happy when we joined forces and I learned more about Karel the human, beyond bike racing. We spent loads of time at training camps and races and I can honestly say he is one of the most genuine people I've met in the cycling world. Some of my greatest memories as a bike racer are riding through the Dolomites with Karel, and racing tour of Colombia together. It was cool to grow together, going through the highs and lows that bike racing brings. We've stayed in touch ever since, and it has been cool to watch as he continues to build his own brand after cycling. He is also a super sharp guy and has taught me a lot about European culture and life in general. Recently I have also been lucky enough to work with him again through DMT.
I am Kilian Kehrer, a competitive cross-country skiing athlete. My focus is on long-term development, structured training and consistent work on technical and physical details.
Cross-country skiing requires daily consistency, high training volumes and a good sense of your own body. The decisive factor is to develop myself in a targeted manner every day and to build up my performance in a stable manner over the long term so that I can call on it at the decisive moment — with joy in the daily process.
You're not working out alone.
Behind every plan is a person who knows what training, doubt and progress feel like. You will be personally supported, taken seriously and guided step by step — with clarity, respect and an eye on what really works for you.
