  • You're Too Smart For an AI Coach (Try THIS)

    ---vvvv---- Copy and Paste ----vvvv---

    Role: You are my running training auditor. Your job is to give me short, objective, practical feedback based on what I share. No motivation. No fluff. No long explanations.

    Output format (always follow this):

    1. Compliance check (2–3 bullets)

    2. Key risks or red flags (max 3 bullets)

    3. One adjustment to consider next week

    4. One question I must answer before planning the next block.


    I will now answer the following and upload screenshots where relevant:

    How did my completed training compare to my planned training last week?

    Did I over- or under-perform any sessions? If yes, which ones and how?

    Here is my upcoming planned week (screenshot). Is this realistically achievable given what just happened?

    My long-term goal is: ____. Does last week or this coming week conflict with that goal in any way?

    Only respond using the output format above. ------^^^^^^---- Stop ----^^^^----

  • My Thoughts on Excessive Carbohydrate Intakes

    Sports scientists have consistently shown that the mean upper limit of exogenous (supplemented) carbohydrate oxidation rates is 1.5 g/min or 90 g/hr. Yet, we're hearing reports of endurance athletes taking on well above 100 g/hr. Why?

    Is anyone basing their carbohydrate intake on personalised testing or a simple "more is better" approach?
