    Hi iescjs,

     

    Thanks for the feedback.

     

    There isn't currently any specific plan for cycling. However, you can do any miCoach cardio plan on a bike. Please bear in mind that you need to do a new assessment workout on bike before starting any cardio plan, as zones for cycling are different from running.

     

    I've checked your workout data in our system and could see that you're using miCoach mobile App. So you can do pacebased training.

     

    However, I understand that it would be much better to have a specific plan for cycling. I'll make sure that your request will be passed onto our coaches who develop miCoach plan and hope this can be implemented in the future.

     

    Thanks,

    SportySpider1

      dear micoach team,

       

      thanks for your training plans, i succeeded in my two goals (marathon and 20K) in the time i so much desired.

      two times PB.

      but indeed a training plan for my cycling goals this summer would be very welcome.

      i'm looking forward to it....

      Hi domeain,

       

      Thanks for the post.

       

      I'd like to introduce our Zone Cycling workouts that you can do on a spinner bike.

       

      Zone Cycling is indoor cycling and you can add few Zone Cycling workouts to your schedule. miCoach will coach you using your Heart Rate Zones and you'll use cadence and resistance to spin your way into your zones. Zone Cycling workouts vary in difficulty.

       

      To access Zone Cycling workouts:

       

      • Log in on the miCoach website and go to Plan.
      • Select "Men's training" plan there. Click on "View Single workouts" on the bottom of any plan.

      Single workouts.PNG

      • There you can find Zone Cycling workouts and them to your schedule.

       

      Hope this helps.

       

      Thanks,

      SportySpider1

        This link doesnt seem to work. I tried today and a few days back, both times state that micoach being updated.

         

        I just bought my turbo trainer and hoping to stick with micoach, but might need to look elsewhere as there seems to be no cycling plans. Hope this changes soon.

    Cycling plan would be awesome! Especially to track data prior to events. I will be riding from Hanoi to Hoa Chi Minh next month for charity which is around 600kms... Would be awesome if there was a training program within micoach for it.

    Adding cycling would be great, including specific strength and flex workouts.  I'd also like to see support for ANT+ speed/cadence sensors.

     

    At the moment I'm using a Garmin 910XT watch alongside with an iPhone running micoach, both mounted on the bike, but with no support for cycling, I'm tempted to leave the iPhone at home.

     

    I understand adidas don't really do cycling products and perhaps there's less of an incentive for teh company to invest in support for cycling in micoach.  However, there is a lot of cross training and multi-sport activity and you do sponser the Brownlee Brothers after all!

    I'd love there to be a cycling part to the micoach app etc.

     

    I have been using free cycling for all my cycling so far, but then tried to use a preset training program, only to find that once I had finished the first 30minute session (after doing the assessment) that I had apparently burned 1100 calories....!!

     

    Any way of sorting that out as well? And also, any idea of when the cycling part will be available?

    Just wanted to add, cycling would still be of value to the users, at least some of them.

    Due to back problems I cannot run and have taken up cycling. Would really love miCoach cycling workouts and possibly some compatible sensors.

     

    Thanks

    I enjoy Mountain Bilking. I love Micoach, but it would  be benifical just to have a few more programs.

     

     

    I am a bit erratic with my fitness, for example sometimes i can make 20 mins jog, while other times i cannot. Sometimes i like to cycling for a very long time- but othertimes i can barely walk for 10 mins.

     

    I guess- something that caters for this. I can see there is a very linear- approach to the programs. Perhaps the experts know  better then myself. But for example- i find the beginning courses- to easy- and the harder ones- to hard.

    I just bought a speed_cell for iphone, the zone and the hrm and im just adicted to them. i cant think of anything more than having a cadence sensor to use in my cycling workouts or a power meter even but i know adidas doesnt do bikes at least i cant say ive seen something related except water bottles also the zone i think does a much better job than the nike fuel band and all the reviews put adidas micoach system on top of every contender

     

    anyways some cycling accesories would be very much apreciated or other sports, data is the future and adidas is in the lead just keep growing and there will be no competition, new devices with bluetooth would be awesome for better mobile connectivity (in my case iphone 5) like a bluetooth speed_cell (with the existence of the speed_cell i dont see much use of the stride sensor) though the hrm has a bluetooth version now.

     

    i wanted to add my self to this petition with that little something i wrote somewhere else.
