Posting here for reasons. Any of you guys subscribe to a training app that you love? I was using Zwift and they raised their prices for dumb reasons so I paused my subscription. I’ve been self- coaching which worked okay when I was doing it, but I’m hoping to leverage trainer road, fascat, or JOIN cycling to make moar gainz.
so far I’ve been demoing fascat, and I like that it integrates sleep data from my watch well, but it threw me into a threshold workout pretty quick and I haven’t been training much. It does integrate weights, which is nice. Thoughts?

Still using Rouvy (never tried anything else). I'll use it for training/workout plans now and then. But more often than not it's just zone 2 up a random pretty climb somewhere in the world that I've selected based on how long I want to ride for.

I think I'm still grandfathered into an older price plan which has my wife and I separately but on the same account subscription. It was cheaper than other alternatives when we needed a platform during 2020 lockdown when we first got the indoor setups.

That could be good to keep me interested while I do workouts, but it LOOKS more like a gamification type of thing, like Zwift, than a structured training plan.

I’m looking to build fitness with a coach-adjacent sort of plan, but I’m too cheap and not good enough to hire an actual coach. I’m a mediocre rider, but I like the challenge of self improvement with seeing faster times on Strava segments and the occasional race here and there.

It definitely has multi-week training plans, it's just I don't do them very often.

dude, buy a used copy of a book. make a spreadsheet, update it. You can “coach” yourself much better than an algorithm can.

Unless… ARE YOU A ROBOT?

Maybe. I have Joe Friel’s books and I started doing that back in like 21/22, but things fell apart when I got COVID just before peaking. I understand how to “build” and “peak” and other such concepts, but honestly I’m still learning how to integrate VO2 intervals and over unders and WHEN to integrate them to actually make progress.

I think I might just go for Fascat for a year and see how it goes.
