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 Links from the show: 👉 Build your 2027 plan for free in CoachCat: https://app.fascat.ai/ 👉 Read the article and try the Pick Your Event tool: https://fascatcoaching.com/blogs/training-tips/build-your-perfect-2027-training-plan/ 👉 Join the Winter Training Group (first ride Tuesday, Nov 17).
