Coaching - Work With a Coach on Ride Cave | Ride Cave

Work with a coach, or coach riders yourself

Invite a coach to guide your training, or coach other riders on Ride Cave. Coaches see your fitness and adherence, build and adjust your plans, leave notes, and run reports. You stay in control and can end it any time.

For athletes

Bring a coach into your training

🤝

Free to be coached

Connecting with a coach is free. Send a request, or accept one, and your coach can start guiding your training right away. You do not need Cave Crew to work with a coach.

📋

Plans built for you

Your coach builds and adjusts your training plans, calibrated to your FTP, and edits the workouts and weeks as your training changes. You activate and ride them like any plan.

🗒️

A shared Coach Log

Everything your coach does shows up on your Coach Log on the home dashboard, with notes you can reply to and save straight into your own training notes.

🔒

You stay in control

Coaching is consent based and adults only. Your coach never sees your email, birthdate, or billing, and no location from your rides. End the relationship any time and their access stops at once.

For coaches (Cave Crew)

Coach your riders, at any scale

🧩

Reusable plan templates

Build a plan once as a template and apply it across your roster. Every athlete gets it calibrated to their own FTP, as a plan they activate.

✏️

Full plan control

Edit, add, and remove workouts, reshape the weeks, rename or regenerate a plan, activate or deactivate it, and update training numbers like FTP and weight. Every change is logged for the athlete to see.

📊

Reports and roster health

Run on demand Data Lab reports for an athlete, and see your whole roster at a glance: who is ramping, who has gone quiet, and who has an unread note. Each athlete’s self-reported effort (RPE) sits beside their power, so you see when training feels harder than the numbers say.

💬

Notes and updates

Leave shared or private notes, and keep a running conversation with each athlete. Coaching other riders is part of Cave Crew.

How it works

Start coaching in a few steps

🔎

Connect

Find each other by username and send a request. The other person accepts, and the coaching relationship begins. One active coach per athlete.

🛠️

Coach

The coach builds or assigns a plan, tunes the workouts, and leaves notes. The athlete sees it all on their Coach Log and rides the plan.

🚴

Adjust as you go

As training changes, the coach edits the active plan, adds or reworks workouts, and the athlete just keeps riding. Either side can end it any time.
