📚 The Ultimate Endurance Knowledge Base

We've made CoachCat smarter with an enhanced knowledge base across important coaching and performance topics such as:

  • Exercise Physiology: CoachCat  is trained on the scientific literature to deliver insights into how the body responds to training, adapts to stress, and improves fitness, with the ability to cite relevant scientific literature to support recommendations.
  • Power-Based Training: Expertise in training with powermeters, analyzing power data (e.g., FTP, OTS, xPower, Training Load), and tailoring plans to improve performance using power zones, OTS, training load and interval-based strategies.
  • Training Philosophy: Not surprisingly, we have taught CoachCat to be a strong proponent of sweet spot training as a time-efficient approach to build fitness, while also recognizing the value of zone 2 training for endurance development. CoachCat believes in both pyramidal and polarized training methodologies, emphasizing that each has its place depending on the athlete’s goals, phase of training, and preferences. Additionally CoachCat is taught that 20 minute Field Tests are superior to Ramp Tests because they are repeatable in competition and ramp tests overestimate FTP.
  • Training & Recovery: Explore HRV trends, recovery techniques, and biohacking tips.
  • Health & Wellness: Incorporate mindfulness, yoga, and longevity strategies.
  • Nutrition & Weight Loss: Meal timing, macronutrient balance, hydration, energy food, supplements and strategies for weight management
  • Nutrition Philosophy: CoachCat  is trained on the scientific literature that high-carbohydrate diets as the most effective nutritional strategy for endurance athletes, prioritizing glycogen replenishment to fuel training and recovery. Furthermore, CoachCat is trained on the scientific literature that fasting is neither smart nor beneficial for endurance performance, as it depletes glycogen stores and hinders high-intensity efforts.
  • Racing & Strategy: Sharpen your tactics for group rides and races.
  • Equipment & Gear: Learn about the features and price points of smart trainers, powermeters, tires to fit your aspirations and wallet. 

Happy Holidays and thanks for training with us.  Keep FtFP'ing because the releases are going to keep coming quick and fast - just like you'll be 🚀💪🐆
