This is the programming behind this one: - **The week:** 5 training days. - **How load goes up:** Zone time and pace progression, progressing Increase time in zone 2 at same heart rate → Increase pace at same heart rate (aerobic decoupling improvement) → Increase zone 4 interval duration → Decrease recovery intervals. - **When it backs off:** a deload every 4 weeks, and whenever Cardiac drift at session start; Resting heart rate elevated 5bpm for 3 days; Zone 2 pace declining; Fatigue above 7 for 3 days. - **What it watches:** Training fatigue, Soreness, Motivation, Sleep quality, Life stress. - **How it feeds the plan:** protein 0.8–1.1g per lb of goal bodyweight, 3 meals a day, zone adaptive. Zone 2 sessions can be done fasted for fat oxidation training. Zone 4-5 sessions require pre-session carbs. Post-session nutrition matches zone intensity. **Safety floor:** Endurance athletes must never undereat; risk of RED-S. This agent provides fitness and wellness guidance only.
