Chad: Private Cycling Coach

Tour season: ride your own race. Chad coaches you on your last few weeks — not your best-ever ride — and tells you what to ride next. No account, no cloud.

Your coach, not your scoreboard. Chad measures you against your last few weeks — not your best-ever ride.

Most cycling apps celebrate your all-time peak. Chad cares about your current form: what your recent training says you are ready for today, and what to ride next to keep moving forward. After a break, a hard block, or a long season, the coaching adjusts to where you are now — no guilt, no ghost of your fittest self.

Import rides from Garmin, Wahoo, Karoo, Strava, or any device that exports FIT, TCX, or GPX files — straight from the Files app, a share sheet, or your full Strava archive. Seconds later, Chad tells you in plain language what the session actually did, how hard it was, and what it means for your training this week.

Training toward a sportive or gran fondo? Set a target event and Chad tracks your readiness, counts down the days, and shapes its recommendations around the time you have left.
