    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 ----^^^^---- Get my free guide + calculator to accurately set your threshold pace, heart rate, and power and training zones. https://link.drwillo.com/how-to-training-zones Use my sample SMART training plan to bring your running into the 21st century.  https://link.drwillo.com/SMART-Training-plan-free Get the stuff I don't share on YouTube and become. a Data Runner - https://link.drwillo.com/data-runner Check out my Modular Training Plan — a flexible system that adapts to your experience and goals https://link.drwillo.com/modular-training-plans 🏃🏻‍♂️Work with me to offload the stress of planning and analysing your training - https://link.drwillo.com/coaching Follow me on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/21255251 #running #runner
