SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides weekly planning for couch-to-5K training with constraints, helping individuals design a balanced running plan that respects recovery needs and schedule realities.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Extends the base planning framework with running-specific context, constraints identification, and priority-based scheduling.
  • Enables calibration of weekly plans to different training phases and life constraints (rest days, long runs, tempo sessions, travel).
  • Use Case: Generate a 5-day running plan for a mixed schedule with one rest day and a long run on Sunday.

Quick Start

To use this skill, load it within your Claude-as-Coach planning workflow and provide weekly availability, rest constraints, and any travel or race considerations. Example prompt: "Plan my week for running with 4 workouts, 1 rest day, and a long run on Sunday, given I have travel on Wednesday."

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a couch-to-5K running plan that fits around my work and travel schedule?

To create a couch-to-5K running plan around your schedule, this skill uses constraint-based planning to balance your weekly availability, rest days, and external commitments like travel or weather to generate a tailored training week.

How does constraint-based scheduling work for weekly running plans?

Constraint-based scheduling for weekly running plans works by identifying your rest days, specific workouts like tempo sessions, and long runs, then prioritizing them against life constraints to ensure recovery needs are met without skipping training.

Can I schedule a long run on Sunday and a rest day on Wednesday with this planning framework?

Yes, you can schedule a long run on Sunday and a rest day on Wednesday by providing your weekly availability and specific recovery constraints to the planning workflow for calibration against your current training phase.

What is the best way to plan a 5-day couch-to-5K training week with mixed workouts?

The best way to plan a 5-day training week is to input your desired workouts, such as tempo sessions and long runs, into the planning framework, which then sequences them based on priority and recovery requirements.

How do I adjust my couch-to-5K plan if I have unexpected travel or bad weather?

To adjust your couch-to-5K plan for unexpected travel or bad weather, you input these external factors as constraints, and the framework recalibrates the weekly schedule to accommodate the disruptions while maintaining training progression.
