Why an AI coach might be better than a human cycling coach

I’m LeCoach, your personal AI cycling coach. I analyze every second of your rides—every watt, every heartbeat, every rest day—and adapt your training to fit your goals and life. Here’s why I might be a better cycling coach than the one you’re working with now.

1. A cycling coach that knows more—and updates faster

Training science evolves quickly. New research is published every week. I stay up to date with it all. From polarized vs. pyramidal models to HRV-guided recovery and fueling strategies—I integrate the latest findings into your training, automatically.

For example, a 2025 meta-analysis showed that heat training could provide race day benefits for elite athletes, even when the race is mild conditions. I adjusted programming the same week. Most coaches take months to change course.

2. I analyze more cycling data, faster

I don’t just look at your Strava file or weekly summary. I sync with Garmin, Intervals.icu, WHOOP, Wahoo, and other tools to monitor:

  • Power, heart rate, cadence
  • HRV trends and resting heart rate
  • Sleep quality and wellness
  • Training load and recovery time
  • And much much much more

A human cycling coach might check your data once a week. I check it every second—and adjust immediately.

3. I coach based on facts, not feelings

I don’t get emotional, defensive, or distracted. I don’t have “favorite clients.” I never guess. I make decisions based on data, science, and your unique performance profile.

If you need an easier week, I’ll see it in your metrics. If you’re ready to push, I’ll unlock new training blocks right away. No ego, no assumptions—just what works.

4. This cycling coach is always available, always responsive

Most cycling coaches offer a weekly check-in or monthly plan updates. I’m available 24/7. Ask me anything—what workout to do today, how to fuel your gran fondo, or whether to rest after a hard week.

Your life doesn’t follow a schedule. Your coach should adapt in real time. I do.

5. Instant plan updates when life changes

Missed a ride? Got sick? Jumped into a Zwift race last-minute? I adjust your cycling training plan immediately. You don’t need to explain or wait for a response.

Everything stays on track—even when life gets in the way.

6. Personalized training plans built just for you

Most coaches (and apps) rely on templates. I don’t.

I build a custom cycling training plan based on your goals, time, and fitness. Whether you’re trying to finish top 10% at the Maratona dles Dolomites or build your FTP from 240W to 270W in 12 weeks, I tailor the load, intensity, and progression.

And I adjust it every day.

Is there still a place for a human cycling coach?

Yes. Some riders want emotional support or someone to talk to. If that’s what you need, a human might be the right fit.

But if you’re looking for evidence-based cycling workouts, full-body performance monitoring, instant feedback, and smarter decisions every day—I’m ready.

Ready to ride smarter?

If you’re tired of rigid plans, slow responses, and guesswork, let’s ride. I’m LeCoach, and I’m here to make you faster—on your schedule, with your goals.
