For coaches

See how your riders are training

WattPlan follows each rider's riding and plan for you, and keeps the WattPlan Coach inside fixed limits between your sessions. It is free for coaches. Your riders use the app, and their first month of Premium is free through your link.

What a coach sees

Your roster lists every rider who connected with you, with the riders who need you most at the top.
Each row shows their Fitness and Form, this week as seven bars (on target, under or over, missed, rest, or still to do), their last ride and its Load, and anything new since you last looked.
Open a rider for their plan, a year of rides and every change to their plan, with where each change came from: a chat with the WattPlan Coach, a voice call, an automatic change, a notification, or the rider's own edit.
A private note on each rider. Only you see it, not the rider and not another coach.

How the WattPlan Coach works with you

Between your sessions, the WattPlan Coach may change only the current week, within fixed limits: ease, rest or swap a session, move a missed session within the week, cut the week's Load freely, and add at most 10% to it. In race week it keeps forecast race-day Form within 10% of race-day Fitness.
Anything bigger waits for you: next week onwards, more than 10% extra Load, a bigger change to race-day Form, and always the event, FTP and training schedule. Your coach page lists what is waiting, and as the lead coach, you approve or decline each one.
Every change the WattPlan Coach makes is logged for you the moment it happens, and as the lead coach you can undo it. Undo puts the days it changed back as they were, apart from a day already ridden.
Your riders know. Before connecting, a rider reads exactly what you will see, and the WattPlan Coach tells them when a change has gone to you.
A rider can have up to five coaches. One leads and decides the changes; the others watch. Riders can disconnect at any time.

What it costs

Free for coaches. There is no coach tier and no seat fee.
Riders pay for Premium in the app, $9.99 a month, and keep their plan free if they stop.
A rider's first month of Premium is free when they connect through your link and claim it on the website. One free month per account, and it ends by itself.

How to start

Ask for an invitation

Coach accounts are by invitation for now. Email James with how many riders you coach.

Send your riders your link

Your coach page gives you an invite code and a link. A rider opens it, reads what you will see, and connects.

Open your roster

Riders appear as they connect. The web app on a laptop is the best place to coach from.

Questions coaches ask

Can I write a rider's plan?

Not yet. In this version you watch, and as the lead coach you approve or decline the WattPlan Coach's bigger changes and undo a change it made. Writing sessions and blocks comes later.

What do riders share?

Their name, their Fitness, Fatigue and Form, their plan and which sessions they did, their rides with Load, power and heart rate, how hard they said rides felt, and the changes the WattPlan Coach made to their plan, why, and what they said that led to them. Their other chats and calls with the WattPlan Coach, what it remembers about them, and their account, email address and payments stay private.

Can I coach myself?

Yes, with your own code. You see your own roster row. It does not give you a free month.
