ChatGPT Cycling Coach Prompt I used:

ChatGPT, I’d like you to become my new cycling coach and help me create a customised training plan. Below, I’ve added some details to guide you in designing a plan that fits my goals, timeline, and lifestyle:

• I’m an amateur cyclist, not a performance athlete, but I’m looking to improve.
• My time for training is limited, so I want a plan that prioritises “bang for buck” workouts—maximising results in the time I can commit.
• Format: Provide the plan as a diary with daily workouts, broken down into:
  • Indoor Workouts: Include a corresponding Zwift workout that matches the session (database here: Zwift Workouts).
  • Outdoor Rides: Keep these simple and enjoyable—no need for constant stat-checking.
• In the first two weeks, help me establish performance baselines to track progress.
• Limit tests to one per week and keep them trainer-based, as the weather isn’t ideal for outdoor testing.
• Let me know how to provide weekly feedback so you can adapt the plan as we go.
• Present the training plan in a table format for easy reference.
• Include clear descriptions of each workout and its purpose (e.g., endurance, power, recovery)
• If a workout is Z2 or Z3, give me an indication of the metrics (e.g power, hard rate or exertion level) that the workout should be done at.
