Edit Your Plan & Create Custom Workouts

CoachCat makes creating workouts super easy with the new chat-to-workout feature. Just type what workout you want—the more details you include, the better.  CoachCat instantly builds it for you, and it shows up right on your training calendar. You can even send these workouts straight to your bike computer or virtual platforms like Zwift and Rouvy.  Create one workout at a time. 

This is also how you add races and group rides to your calendar - be specific and don't forget to include the date :) 

Quick tip: You'll get the best results by sticking closely to your plan (FtFP: Follow the F@ #'ing plan!). But remember, your plan should also fit your life and how you're feeling. Try to follow at least 80% of your workouts, but don't worry if you miss some. Staying consistent and sticking with your plan for more than six months is what really helps you improve.

Important note: Custom workouts let you personalize your training. Right now, CoachCat doesn't automatically change your main training plan because those plans are carefully created by expert human coaches*, not AI.  Changing them automatically** could mess up your training progress!

Our training plans really work. They've already helped thousands of cyclists  reach their goals, just like the athletes we coach personally. FasCat Coaches designed these plans using their many years of experience as professional coaches and bike racers.

In this training tip, we’ll explain how to create a custom workout and edit your training plan.  

Use the custom workout to also add in your events, races, group rides, and even vacations.   Here are a few examples:

1. Editing your 2-hour workout to be 1 hour

2. Replacing a workout with a group ride

3. Creating a custom VO2 Max workout

4. Creating a custom ride based on the terrain (using Zwift's Uber Pretzel)

Example # 1 To make a 2 hour workout 1 hour, tell the AI in the chat, "I can only ride for 1 hour, can you adjust the workout?" 

Step 1:

once you have your proposed new workout you have the option to ask for further edits or a completely different option.  

Step 2:

the final step is to delete your former workout (open the workout, select the 3 dots in the upper right and select 'delete').

Step 3: 

Example # 2 To replace a workout with a group ride, "I have group ride on Wednesday, will you replace that with the workout for the day, please?"

Note how even CoachCat will not edit workouts but will offer to put new custom workouts on your calendar.  In this case, CoachCat creates a custom workout based on the description '4 hard efforts and a sprint at the end'. 

Note: you do not have to follow this structure, it is merely representative of how the group ride goes. (and remember to delete your former workout)

Example # 3 Creating a Custom VO2 Max Workout

See how CoachCat gives you a traditional 2 set, 3 minute VO2 Max workout? You may ask for even more customization: 

The sky is the limit for asking what you want.  Here's the custom VO2 Max Workout, that you may push to your bike computer or push to a virtual riding platform like Zwift or Rouvy. 

Note: you may also apply any workout in workout library to your training calendar. We have over 300 workouts organized from Zone 1 to Zone 7 for you to browse and build with. 

Example # 4 Creating a Custom Ride based on a course you are riding. In this example here is a custom workout created based on a long ride the athlete was doing on Zwift's Uber Pretzel course, with this elevation profile:

"Can you put a 5.5 hour ride on my plan that has a 20 minute sweet spot climb after 10 minute of zone 2 at the start, followed by 4 hours and 15 minutes of zone 2 and temp a 75 minute threshold climb up the Alpe du Zwift climb to finish? Total OTS should be 375!"

Et voila!

As you can hopefully see, the possibilities are endless - all you have to do is type what you want in the CoachCat chat and review the response.  This is how you can get exactly what you want and edit your training plan. 

As always the FasCat Coaches are standing by to help if you want a second, 'human opinion'.  We offer a complimentary coaching consultation for all new CoachCat App athletes as well a custom one-on-one coaching if you want more customization.
