Tell CoachCat what you want to get out of your riding and how many hours you have. Get a training plan built around both, starting today. FasCat has coached endurance cyclists for 20+ years, from first-time gravel riders to national champions. We invented Sweet Spot training, the method that made structured base building work whether you have 6 hours a week or 16. CoachCat puts that coaching on your phone. // WHAT COACHCAT DOES • Builds your plan around you• Training for a race, chasing a fitness number, or just want to get stronger on the bike. Tell CoachCat the goal and the hours you actually have, and it builds the plan. Not sure what your goal is? Answer a few questions and CoachCat will tell you what to work on. Road, gravel, mountain bike, cyclocross, multisport and more. Unlimited access to FasCat's 5-star plan library, with Sweet Spot base, intervals, strength training and everything in between. • Adjusts the plan as your life changes• Miss a week. Travel. Get sick. Change your goal. CoachCat reworks the plan instead of leaving you to catch up on your own. This is where most training plans fall apart, and it is the reason people quit them. • Tells you what to do today• Open the app and your workout is there, with the reason behind it. No deciding, no guessing, no building your own week. Just ride what it says. • Coaches you after every ride• Upload a ride and ask anything. Why your power faded in hour 3. Whether that interval set did what it was supposed to. What to change on Saturday. You get a straight answer built on your data, not a generic article. • Knows when to push and when to back off• CoachCat pulls sleep and HRV from your wearable and scores your recovery every morning. Green means go. Red means rest. Your plan responds to that instead of ignoring it. • Handles the fueling• FuelTrix™ reads the duration and intensity of every workout on your calendar and gives you a carbohydrate target in grams per hour, then converts it to bottles and gels. Plus meal plans and recipes for the eating you do off the bike. • Shows you whether it is working• Fitness, fatigue and form over time. Your FTP. Your consistency. The numbers that tell you the training is doing something. // WHO IT IS FOR Riders with a race on the calendar. Riders who just want to be faster, fitter and stronger on the bike. Riders who want real structure without a 1-on-1 coaching budget. Riders who would rather be told what to do than build their own training week. Riders who have started a plan before and quit because life happened and nothing adjusted. // WORKS WITH YOUR GEAR Apple Health, Garmin, Wahoo, Strava, Zwift, Hammerhead, Whoop, Oura, Rouvy, Fitbit and more. // TRY IT FREE First week free. No credit card required. After that, $34.99 per month, or $210 for the year, which works out to $17.50 per month. // 6-WEEK IMPROVEMENT GUARANTEE Train with CoachCat for 6 weeks and hit 80% green days.
