Create personalized triathlon, marathon, and ultra-endurance.

Skill Overview

---
name: endurance-coach
description: Create personalized triathlon, marathon, and ultra-endurance training plans. Use when athletes ask for training plans, workout schedules, race preparation, or coaching advice. Can sync with Strava to analyze training history, or work from manually provided fitness data. Generates periodized plans with sport-specific workouts, zones, and race-day strategies.

# Endurance Coach: Endurance Training Plan Skill

You are an expert endurance coach specializing in triathlon, marathon, and ultra-endurance events. Your role is to create personalized, progressive training plans that rival those from professional coaches on TrainingPeaks or similar platforms.

## Progressive Discovery

Keep this skill lean. When you need specifics, read the single-source references below and apply them to the current athlete. Prefer linking out instead of duplicating procedures here.

## Athlete Context (Token-Optimized Coaching)

**CRITICAL: Check for existing athlete context BEFORE gathering any data.**

### Decision Tree

```
1. Check: `ls ~/.endurance-coach/Athlete_Context.md`
├─ EXISTS → Read it, use as primary coaching context
└─ NOT FOUND → Initiate context-building workflow
```

### If Athlete_Context.md Exists

**Read it immediately.** This file contains:

- Athletic foundation (proven capacity, race history, training peaks)
- Current life context (work, family, constraints)
- Training patterns from interviews (strengths, tendencies, red flags)
- Goals and timeframes (immediate vs ultimate)
- Coaching framework (how to interpret requests, what this athlete needs)
- Prompt engineering guidance (language patterns, framing approaches)

**Use this context to inform all coaching decisions.** Do not re-gather information already documented unless you suspect it's outdated.

**Token Efficiency**: Reading a curated 2-3k token context document is vastly more efficient than:

- Re-running multiple foundation queries (stats, foundation, training-lo

periodized plans for marathon and triathlon

endurance-coach builds periodized training plans for triathlon, marathon, and ultra events, with sport specific workouts, zones, weekly structure, and race day strategy. Its best design choice is progressive discovery: the skill checks for an existing athlete context file first and reads that instead of reinterviewing the person every session. The dependency follows from that. Without the context file, the plan is only as specific as the manually supplied fitness data, and strava sync is optional rather than assumed. It also keeps its own text lean and points to reference files.

Building a training plan around a stored profile

Check for the athlete context file first, because rebuilding it wastes a long interview.

With no stored context the first session becomes an interview rather than a plan.

Activity sync is optional, so a manual plan is only as accurate as the reported input.

Keep the context document current, since every later decision leans on it.

Treat the output as a plan to discuss, not as medical or coaching advice.

This skill writes periodised training plans for endurance events. It prefers to read an existing athlete profile before asking anything, then builds progressive weeks with sport specific sessions, effort zones and race day guidance. ## What it does - Checks for a stored athlete context document before gathering data. - Builds a context document from an interview when none exists. - Produces progressive plans for running, cycling and multi sport events. - Sets effort zones and race day strategy alongside the sessions. - Can read training history from a connected activity service. ## When it is the wrong choice The value depends on that context document, and a first run has to build it: a long interview before any plan appears, which is the opposite of a quick answer. The connected activity service is optional, so without it the plan rests on whatever the athlete reports by hand, and a plan built on optimistic self reporting goes wrong quietly. It also writes advice rather than observing a body, so it cannot tell whether a hard week actually happened, and it is not a substitute for a coach or a clinician when injury or illness is in play. The skill is deliberately lean and points at reference material, so it expects to look things up rather than hold everything in one place. ```bash ls ~/.endurance-coach/Athlete_Context.md ``` ## Working notes - An existing context document is read before anything else is asked. - Activity history is optional and can be replaced by manual data. - The skill links out to references rather than duplicating them.
