  • What does sweet spot even mean??!?!

    Just found this podcast. - been a cyclist for 20 years and a crit racer as well. I honestly have no idea what “sweet spot” means to this guy?!? And in the 6 podcasts I listened to - he explains it zero times. Also i believe he said “sweet-spot” almost 200 times in the most recent episode… and again - he never explains it. It’s a homemade term. Or perhaps just used in a small community of people? But not mainstream cycling circles.

    Perhaps you might find some help here as a listener. But to ... more

  • Thoughtful, thorough and evidence based

    I’m a couple of years into meaningful cycling, tried listening to numerous podcast to level up, and this is the best show I found to date. Absolute treasure trove of practical advice.

    Thank you for your efforts, I’m definitely considering signing up as your program seems very affordable, and if it is anything like the show I expect it’s high-quality.

    Happy riding!

  • Essential Listening: 5 Ways to be a Better Cyclist

    I’m a long time listener and just finished this episode with Fascat coach Justin Bowes. What I loved is Justin’s emphasis on the “soft skills” needed to get the most from the hard physical work we do on the bike. It’s not just about watts; it’s really about building a complete athlete with things like focus, preparedness and positive thinking. I was left with the impression that these lessons are not just for cyclists, they are universal. Thanks Fascat and Coach Justin!

WtF is FtFP? The Secret Mindset the Most Successful Athletes Are Using | Ask a FasCat #46
Q: Is there a plan for a feature that tells how accurately you executed the workouts?
Overton says workout completion already records that an athlete got on the bike and rode, and that CoachCat is planned to detect intervals and efforts and report what the athlete did.

Q: What if I ride on a rest day and then rest on a work day if life demands?
Overton says to actively manage the plan so workouts and rest days fit life, ideally revising it in advance. If the change reflects a deliberate adjustment rather than a bad habit, it is consistent with following the plan.
How to Build Your Perfect 2027 Training Plan | Ask a FasCat #45
Q: Want to do two weightlifting sessions a week up to January. But CoachCat won't accommodate this request.
Overton advises one weekly strength-maintenance session after the main weightlifting phase, because additional heavy sessions may interfere with cycling workouts and recovery.
How to Build Your Perfect 2027 Training Plan | Ask a FasCat #45
Q: I'm on the 30 week plan right now. I can train eight to 12 hours, but January, February and March, I will have a lot more time assuming I can recover well. Is the Sweet Spot Base the best time to train additional hours?
Yes. Base training is the best phase for adding volume because it emphasizes aerobic work. Add hours gradually, particularly on longer Saturday rides, and avoid increasing volume too aggressively.
Weight Loss: Learn How to Eat Right
Q: Is fasting from 8 p.m. until noon a bad idea on training days?
Overton says it depends on workout timing, but fasting may interfere with hard or morning rides. He favors regular meals and a modest calorie deficit when weight loss is the goal.
