The method
Coaching is a loop, not a PDF.
A static plan is a bet that your next twelve weeks go perfectly. TMPRD makes a different bet: read every week as it actually happened, then rebuild the next one. This page is the whole mechanism — including the science it stands on.
The loop
Check-in → panel → synthesis → plan.
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.
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 argues for the adjustment that domain needs.
The synthesis takes a position
Head Coach weighs the arguments into one verdict, in plain language. Push, hold, or back off — and the reasoning that got there, written so you can disagree with it.
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.
Closing the loop
The wearable checks your answers.
Garmin and Whoop feed sleep, heart-rate variability, resting heart rate and training load into the panel — so the coaching sees the week your body had, not just the one you remember. Readiness is a weighted verdict: 60% subjective, 40% wearable, on purpose — your own report of the week outranks the strap.
No wearable? The loop still runs on your check-in — the strap sharpens the coaching, it doesn't gatekeep it.

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.
Saw, A.E. et al. (2016) · Monitoring Athletes Through Self-Report Measures · Sports Medicine 46(1)
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.
Tuchscherer, M. (2008) · The Reactive Training Manual · Reactive Training Systems
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.
Plews, D.J. et al. (2014) · HRV-Guided Training · IJSPP 9(6)
Deloads are decided from your signals — readiness, missed-session patterns, sleep debt — not from a calendar square that ignores how you recovered.
Meeusen, R. et al. (2013) · Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Overtraining · MSSE 45(1)
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.
