Coaching is a loop, not a PDF.

The loop

Check-in → panel → synthesis → plan.

1. 01

   You check in

   Sunday, three minutes, honest questions: how the week trained, how you slept, what life did. Your answers carry 60% of the readiness verdict — the strap does not outrank you.

2. 02

   The panel reads it

   Six to eight specialists, composed for your goal at intake — recovery, nutrition, mental, and mobility coaches every athlete gets, plus the squad your sport needs. Each reads your check-in and your wearable trends for its own domain, and makes the case for the adjustment that domain needs.

3. 03

   The synthesis takes a position

   Head Coach weighs those cases into one verdict, in plain language. Push, hold, or back off — and the reasoning that got there, written so you can disagree with it.

4. 04

   The plan rebuilds

   Next week regenerates from the verdict: sessions, loads, effort targets. You read it, you lock it in, you show up. Then the loop runs again.

WHEN TO BACK OFF

IT ALSO KNOWS WHEN TO SAY STOP.

Most coaching software only knows how to add. The readiness verdict can also subtract — a deload, shorter sessions, or a rest day the calendar never planned. Your own report carries 60% of that verdict, so a week you say went badly counts even when the strap looks fine, and it counts when you have no strap at all.

The panel reads patterns rather than single bad days: missed sessions stacking up, sleep debt that will not clear, a readiness line drifting down week over week. The verdict is decided from those, not from a calendar square.

And when a pattern crosses a coaching threshold, the coaching says so plainly and flags it as worth a professional’s eyes. It will not tell you what it is — that is not its job, and it will not pretend otherwise.

Coaching thresholds, not medical advice — and we’ll always say which is which. It’s no substitute for having something checked.

The science

Decision rules with receipts.

Every rule the pipeline runs on comes from published sport science, and we cite it. These are citations for the methodology TMPRD implements — not claims about the results you'll get. Nobody can promise you those.

  Readiness weighs your own report at 60% and the wearable at 40% — deliberately. Subjective wellness measures respond to training load more consistently than physiological markers.

  Intensity is prescribed in effort terms — zones and RPE anchors, not just fixed loads — so a target scales to the day you are actually having.

  Recovery is read as a week, not a morning — a single rough night of heart-rate variability is treated as noise; a rough week is treated as signal.

  Deloads are decided from your signals — readiness, missed-session patterns, sleep debt — not from a calendar square that ignores how you recovered.

  Training is organized in phases with a stated purpose, and your race calendar sharpens the coaching as key dates approach — so every week knows what it is for.

  Blocks accumulate, intensify, then realize — and because every week is rebuilt from the week you actually had, a block bends to your recovery instead of ignoring it.
