How to Build Your Perfect 2027 Training Plan | Ask a FasCat #45

Hope is not a training plan. Most cyclists sign up for a race, ride hard and hope the fitness shows up on race day. The FasCat way is the opposite: pick your event first, then work backward from race day.

In this episode, Frank Overton, the Big Cat, walks through exactly how our coaches build a season and builds four real 2027 plans live with our new Pick Your Event, See Your Plan tool:

• Unbound Gravel 200: the full build with weights, Sweet Spot base and the Unbound plan, with no punchy intervals for a flat, hot course
• GFNY New York City: what happens when you have fewer than 34 weeks, and how the phases compress
• The Firecracker 50: a marathon MTB race at altitude, and why climbing intervals go in before the event plan
• Your spring group ride: why you should treat it like a race, plus our 4 Week Group Ride Interval Training plan

Plus:

• The four FasCat training phases (weights, Sweet Spot base, intervals and event specific), how long each one lasts and what to protect when you're short on weeks
• Why your age decides your plan level, and how CoachCat builds age appropriate plans
• A live demo of the CoachCat custom plan builder: five questions and your whole season is on your calendar
• The FasCat Winter Training Group grows to three rides a week: Turnt Up Tuesdays, Zone 2 Thursdays and Sweet Spot Saturdays
