Week 1 Marathon Training โ
So I hired a coachโฆ sort of. ๐
Meet Coach GPTโmy AI marathon guru who tracks my every step, logs my runs, crunches my numbers, and updates my training plan based on performance. Basically, itโs like having a personal coach who never sleeps and loves spreadsheets. ๐ค๐โโ๏ธ๐
Week 1 done and Iโm still standing (barely). Letโs see if this AI magic gets me to NYC in one piece. ๐๐ช + Intelligence
๐ง Coach GPT:
๐ Wins:
โ
7 runs in 7 days โ perfect daily consistency and discipline.
โ
Excellent structure: tempo, strides, and a long run integrated into a balanced aerobic base.
โ
Smart long run ex*****on (progressive), and adaptive planning (shift from Sat to Sun).
๐ Metrics at Weekโs End:
Fitness: 11.9
Fatigue: 24.8
Training Index: โ12.9 (expected after the 21.5 km long run)
๐ Coach Notes:
๐Your aerobic base is progressing very well. Cadence stabilized (~165 spm), tempo HR on point, and long run showed strong endurance capacity.
๐ฃThat mid-run surge to ~5:17/km on Sunday shows you're holding latent strength โ and using it wisely.
๐ฅSlight fatigue accumulation is normal. Continue supporting recovery: nutrition, mobility, and good sleep.
๐ฏ Youโre race-bound, Doc! Great start.
