Coach Watson
Your in-ride coach: what it says, how often, and reading cues aloud.
Coach Watson is your coach during every ride. It shows cues in the coach window on the ride screen, each for about 15 seconds.
- Before the ride: during the warm-up, a briefing on today's workout: what it is, why it works and how to ride it.
- Before each interval: a heads-up about what's coming, about 15 seconds ahead.
- Countdown: a 3-2-1 countdown on the graph with three beeps at the start of every effort. The beeps play even when the voice is off.
- Tips: form, breathing, motivation, pacing and cadence, fueling and cooling, matched to the intensity you're riding.
- Live checks: for example, a reminder when your cadence drifts more than 3 rpm from an interval's target for 15 seconds.
Settings
Open your profile and choose Edit profile (or click Coach Watson on the ride screen):
- How often: Off, Light (a tip every 6 minutes), Standard (every 3 minutes) or Chatty (every 90 seconds). Key moments always get a cue, never more than one every 20 seconds, and nothing during sprints.
- Read cues aloud: off by default. Turn it on to hear cues in your browser's US English voice.
