Want to ride faster next year than you did this year? The time to start training is now, and we have a 30-week training plan that scales to your schedule.
On this podcast, FascCat Founder Frank Overton walks you through the details of what this 30-week program entails - Muscle Tension Intervals, Nino's Secret Training, Foliage Rides, Weightlifting for Cyclists and much more.
The best way to get faster is not the latest supplement or a particular magic workout. Instead, the best way to get faster is through training consistently, following a science-based plan tailored to your time to train and your goals.
Our training app CoachCat not only builds custom plans for you, but helps you adapt when life throws you a curveball. Between work, kids, travel, sickness and weather, life can get tricky. We get it!
CoachCat answers your questions when you need to skip a workout, or change workouts around.
As always, consistency is key! This month we are encouraging your consistency by sending FasCat T shirts to athletes who make 80% of their CoachCat calendar turn green through completing at least 80% of their scheduled workouts in October.

We get faster when we follow a training plan, but stock plans have obvious limitations. Therefore, creating a plan that is customized to your goals and your available time to train is ideal - and that is exactly what we are talking about in this podcast.

As effective and gratifying as following a carefully crafted training plan can be, sometimes you just want to ride... And that can be impactful training, too!
Especially here in the fall, riding on a weekly rhythm of taking some days off, and going hard and/or long on other days is a great recipe for mental and physical health.
On this solo podcast, FasCat Founder Frank Overton breaks down exactly how you can train effectively without following a training plan, the limits of this approach, and how you can use Coach Cat for guidance along the way.

With your big event coming up, you should have almost all your training behind you. All the hay is in the barn. But even the best training alone isn't a complete recipe for success on race day. Showing up and just hoping for the best will always pale in comparision to showing up prepared, having considered and planned for key variables like:
In this podcast, FasCat Coaches Sierra, Jake and Frank walk you through the discussions they have with their one-on-one coached athletes to make sure all the i's are dotted and all the t's are crossed.
Are you prepared for you next big race? Are you sure?
If you are a FasCa one-on-one athlete you may have heard this before. If you’d like to be you can hire Coach Jake, Coach Sierra or an of the FasCat Coaches on our website, FasCatCoaching.com.
We even have a super double-secret coaching deal going on right now through August 10.
If you are a FasCat app subscriber - you are in luck because CoachCat is trained on this, too! All you gotta do is ask and tell. That’s right: chat with CoachCat and say, “what should my aid station strategy be for ___ race?” Ask about the Coursee, Pacing, Equipment, Nutrition, where should I eat and drink, nutrition, equipment... whatever you like! CoachCat has got your back!
