FasCat Cycling Training Tips Podcast FasCat Cycling Training Tips Podcast

Hello, listeners! We have a very different podcast for you today. We've taken your great questions that we normally answer with Coaches in our popular Ask a FasCat episodes and run them through our AI-powered CoachCat to answer them.
Further, the questions are asked by an AI version of FasCat Founder Frank Overton. 
The real Frank explains how this experimental podcast will work at the start of the show, and then analyzes how it went along the way and at the end. As you probably know by now, AI can be surprisingly good with a number of things, but it lacks human judgement.
At FasCat, we are excited to be using the latest technology alongside our professional Coaching with their real-life experienece, not simply choosing one or the other.
Go see what AI-powered Coaching advice does with your own training inside the FasCat app, where the first month is free with no credit card required.

Gravel training is not the same as training for the road, and therefore you should pay attention to different power-based metrics. FTP is not as important nor is your peak 20-minute power. Nor your 5-minute power. So what should you be looking at and trying to improve?
In this podcast, we give you the power-based metrics you should pay attention to for your gravel training and racing!
What's important is how long you can ride hard. That's way more important than your 60-minute FTP power when it comes to gravel racing. 
In fact, you can have a low FTP but great 5-hour power. We can that strength 'diesel watts'. Are you a diesel? If so you are probably good at gravel racing!

Over the years, the internet has twisted the simple definition of FTP.   We are here to bust those myths and set the record straight. Coach Jake and Frank also cover "Lactate Truthers", Zone 2 and finally our favorite the right and wrong usage of ERG mode. 
ERG mode is great but it can be harmful to your training so we discuss.

Will AI replace human coaches in Endurance Sports? The short answer is YES. The long answer is No.
No doubt,  AI will 100% change how humans coach endurance athletes.  Or at least the Coaches who adopt and embrace the technology.
Gone are the days of a coach spending most of their time on training plan design, data analysis, custom workouts, scheduling and training plan revisions. 
AI automates those tasks, mind blowingly well. In fact, our very own CoachCat performs these tasks NOW.
This frees up professional coaches to do what they do best, which is to guide athletes through their experience.
On this podcast, FasCat Founder Frank Overton explains what AI is doing now in endurance sports coaching, what it could in the future, and what this means for professional coaches and athletes alike.
