Build a custom cycling training plan in 5 questions. For a visual walk through of the custom plan builder watch this podcast on our youTube channel here https://youtu.be/nO94dhqgjBg

In this podcast & video, Coach Frank walks you through the new CoachCat Custom Training Plan Builder. We use over 100 of our coach-built training plans as phases of your training — Sweet Spot base, builds, intervals, weight lifting, and event-specific phases for road, gravel, fondo, century, time trial, triathlon, mountain bike, cyclocross, and crits — and stitch them together based on your answers to 5 simple questions:

1️⃣ Your fitness level and how many hours a week you can train

2️⃣ What you're training for

3️⃣ When that goal is

4️⃣ Whether you want to include strength training

5️⃣ Your availability — including the days you can't train and your preferred long ride day

The result: the right phase at the right time, lined up to your goal date, fit to your week.

What's new in this builder:

→ Specify the days you can't train (3, 4, or 5 days a week — your call)

→ Choose your long ride day (Saturday default, but pick any day)

→ Climbing-specific training if your event has climbs

→ Smart strength training: 10-week lifting in Fall/Winter, maintenance in Spring/Summer

Plus, a closer look at:

Event-specific phases for every cycling discipline

Why timing your peak matters

The strength training question — and why most athletes get it wrong
