One of the most powerful features in the CoachCat app is the ability to create any custom workout you can imagine, just by describing it in the chat. Tell CoachCat what you want, and it builds a structured workout instantly — complete with intervals, power zones, and duration — ready to send to your bike computer or ride on Zwift and Rouvy.

How It Works

Open the CoachCat chat and describe the workout you want. The more detail you give, the better the result. CoachCat will generate a structured workout with warm-up, intervals, recovery, and cool-down — all calibrated to your FTP and training zones.

Once created, the workout appears on your training calendar. From there you can push it directly to your bike computer (Wahoo, Garmin, Hammerhead) or send it to Zwift or Rouvy for an indoor session.

Example: Liège-Bastogne-Liège

Here's a real example. The prompt was simply:

“Give me a workout for Liège-Bastogne-Liège”

CoachCat instantly generated a Liège-Bastogne-Liège Classics Workout – 1 hour that simulates the punchy Ardennes côtes and late-race fatigue of La Doyenne. Here's the structure it created:

  1. Warm up – 10 min — Very easy spinning, gradually open the legs.
  2. Ardennes côtes – 3 × (3 min hard + 3 min easy) — 3 min at 105–115% FTP (~295–320 W), short “climb” efforts with 3 min easy endurance between each.
  3. Fatigue-resistance Sweet Spot – 12 min — Continuous at 88–93% FTP (~245–260 W). Think long, draggy late-race climb — steady and tough but sustainable.
  4. Endurance – 10 min — Comfortable Zone 2, just riding steady.
  5. Cool down – 10 min — Easy spin, let HR come down.

What You Can Create

The possibilities are endless. Here are just a few ideas:

  • Race simulations — “Build me a workout like the final hour of Paris-Roubaix”
  • Targeted intervals — “Give me 4x8 minute Sweet Spot intervals with 3 minutes rest”
  • Group ride prep — “I have a fast group ride Saturday, create a workout that matches”
  • Course-specific training — “Build a workout based on the Alpe du Zwift elevation profile”
  • Time-crunched sessions — “I only have 45 minutes, give me a high-intensity session”
  • Recovery rides — “Give me a 1-hour easy spin for active recovery”

Send to Your Devices

Every custom workout can be pushed directly to:

  • Wahoo, Garmin, and Hammerhead bike computers
  • Zwift for indoor riding
  • Rouvy for augmented reality indoor riding

The workout file includes all the interval structure, power targets based on your FTP, and cadence targets when applicable.

Tips for Better Results

Be specific. The more detail you provide, the better CoachCat can tailor the workout. Include duration, intensity, number of intervals, rest periods, or even the race you're simulating.

Iterate. Don't like the first version? Ask CoachCat to adjust it: “Make the intervals longer” or “Add a harder finish.”

Combine with your plan. Custom workouts work alongside your training plan. Use them to supplement your scheduled sessions or replace a workout when you want something different.
