FasCat Cycling Training Tips Podcast13 Jun 2025

Fix Your Fade! Training Your Durability

Have you heard the buzz about "Durability" in cycling? It's being hyped as the secret behind Pogacar's dominance. Improve your Durability with the CoachCat app ➡️ https://fascatcoaching.com/app

Watch this training tip on yourTube: https://youtu.be/_TuRSwEZBH4

Coach Frank Overton (aka the BigCat) breaks down what Durability actually means, how it impacts your performance in long rides and races, and the 8 best ways to improve it — from increasing your training volume and adding long rides, to strategic interval placement and training when tired.

You'll learn:

✅ Why riders with the same FTP can have vastly different race results

✅ How to build a more "durable battery" that doesn't fade late in races

✅ How to test your own Durability using power data from real rides

✅ Why FTP isn't dead — and how Durability complements it If you've ever faded in the final hour of a Fondo, gravel race, or road race, this video is for you. Training Durability is the tortoise-beats-the-hare strategy that helps you finish strong and outperform riders with even higher FTPs. 📈

Drop your questions in the comments — and if enough of you are interested, Coach Frank will make a follow-up video on how to test and track your Durability with power data.
