CoachCat just got a serious upgrade across plans, scheduling, and race prep. Here’s what changed for your training. No jargon, just what you’ll notice the next time you open the app and ask.
Seven upgrades you’ll feel
Get the exact plan you ask for
Name a plan, like Sweet Spot Part 4, and CoachCat puts that plan on your calendar, not a close-enough stand-in. Not sure of the name? It searches the library and helps you land on the right one.
Plans built around your goal, not a template
Tell CoachCat what you’re chasing and it builds the full lead-up (base, build, and taper) timed to the day. New goals are covered too: off-season base, a cycling trip or camp, or simply out-riding your group. It even factors in how much climbing the goal demands.
Your training days, respected
Say “I can’t ride Sundays” and CoachCat keeps that, even if you skip the weekly-hours question. And if what you tell it differs from your saved schedule, it points that out and lets you choose: update your default, or just this once.
Straight talk on strength work
CoachCat only tells you weights are in your plan when they actually are, and it won’t cram a strength block into a race that’s too close. When there’s no room, it points you to year-round Strength Maintenance instead.
The plan you approve is the plan you get
Approve a plan and the exact one you saw lands on your calendar, confirmed before anything is applied, with no behind-the-scenes recalculating, even if you take a day to decide.
Taper and rest weeks, done right
CoachCat now knows the difference between a pre-race taper and a recovery week. It builds you a proper opener workout the day before your event to wake the legs up, and puts your races on the calendar cleanly, instead of inventing intervals for an all-out effort.
Masters Specific Knowledge Base
CoachCat now trains masters riders like masters riders. It balances hard efforts against the recovery a 40, 50, or 60+ body actually needs, protects your top end, and builds strength and rest into the plan the way a FasCat coach would. It’s the same approach behind our guide to training for masters cyclists, now built into the app.
It’s all live now
Every one of these is already in the app. There’s nothing to turn on. Open CoachCat, tell it what you’re training for, and see the difference for yourself. Open CoachCat or learn more about CoachCat.
