Training an engineer with a five-day work week toward Ironman 70.3 at the Kinneret in October 2026, then a full Ironman at Klagenfurt in June 2027 — without getting hurt.
Counting down.
Why it exists
Everything this system does resolves to one of these. When they conflict, the first one wins — not as a slogan, as a rule the code actually follows.
A finish line you reach injured is worse than one you reach slow. Missing a session costs a session. Missing a season costs a season — and at some point, the whole ambition. So the coach is built to hold back a fit, motivated athlete on the days that call for it.
Not the best result a professional could get. The best one available to someone with a job, a commute, and a family — where the honest training week is the constraint, not a number to feel guilty about. Plan against the week that exists.
