February 24, 2026

(Colorado Springs, CO – February 24, 2026) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – CTS today announced the promotion of Adam Pulford to CTS Cycling Head Coach, reinforcing the company’s leadership and brand presence in the cycling community.

Adam Pulford brings more than 20 years of coaching experience to the role, working with athletes ranging from professional teams to dedicated amateurs, juniors, elites, Olympians, and emerging elite competitors. A leader within the CTS Coaching Staff, Adam has contributed to the company’s internal Coaching Education Program and USA-Cycling’s Coaching Education Program, worked on product development for TrainingPeaks and WKO+, and consulted for numerous nutrition, technology, and apparel companies to help athletes improve performance. Host of “The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast” since 2020, Adam has created a strong following within the cycling community worldwide.

In his new role, Adam will collaborate with CTS leadership on product and service development, partner with Coaching Development Director Cliff Pittman on continuing education initiatives, and serve as a mentor and resource for CTS Coaches.

“I’m excited to take on this new challenge and opportunity,” said Pulford. “Nearly 26 years ago, CTS created a platform and career opportunity for coaches to do what we love and develop our coaching craft. My role will be to help enhance that for our current coaches and the next wave of coaches to come, and to ensure we meet the needs and exceed the expectations of athletes we work with.”

CTS has successfully implemented the Head Coach model before. Ten years ago, with the publication of “Training Essentials for Ultrarunning”, CTS elevated Jason Koop to a high-visibility leadership role as Head Coach of CTS Ultrarunning. Promoting Adam Pulford to CTS Cycling Head Coach formalizes his leadership role within the coaching staff, the CTS cycling community, and partnership relationships.

“This is a proud day for me and for CTS,” commented Chris Carmichael, CTS Founder and original Head Coach. “Adam started with the company as a coaching intern. His progression to now become the CTS Cycling Head Coach illustrates one of the company’s core strengths, which is educating and developing world-class coaches.”
