How your coach
is evolving.

Reschedule by just asking. “Move my easy run to tomorrow”, “push my long run to next Saturday”, “I can’t run Thursday — skip it”. I’ll shuffle sessions within the week or across weeks, swap one onto a rest day, or skip it and offer to move it instead. You always see exactly what’ll change before you confirm.

Your training, your call. Want a longer-than-usual long run, or to bend the plan around real life? I’ll do it. I’ll flag things worth knowing, but I won’t gate-keep your choices.

/today tells you how hard — and why. Each session now shows a target pace and a one-line reason it’s there, so you can head out the door without asking.

Plans that explain themselves. A new plan arrives with a short note on the thinking behind it. Every Sunday when I refresh the week ahead, I tell you what I changed and why (e.g. “eased it ~15% — last week ran hard and you flagged your knee”). And when you switch goals, I make it clear your fitness carries forward — you’re not starting from zero.

Plainer language. Fatigue and fitness nudges now say what they mean, instead of leaning on jargon like TSB/CTL.

Edits that stick. Plan changes are more reliable now, and if something genuinely can’t be done you get a clear reason and a way forward — never a dead end.

Goals beyond races. Tell me what you’re chasing — a race, an FTP number, a goal pace, just staying consistent, or your health — and it shapes the plan I write, not only our chats. Set them with /objectives.

Much easier to talk to. Just say what you mean: “/objectives done the marathon”, “/races remove London”, “/constraints no riding on Mondays” — no remembering exact syntax. The menu is trimmed to the essentials and there’s one /settings hub for everything.

A coach that knows you. I read how you’re feeling, remember what motivates you and how you like to be supported, mark your milestones, and ease off the pressure when you’re going through a rough patch.

More from Garmin. Alongside HRV and sleep, I now pull resting HR, VO2 Max, training readiness, body weight, and your auto FTP/LTHR — so recovery and pacing advice gets sharper.

Sharper day-to-day coaching. I spot efficiency trends, weigh hard days more than easy miles when judging fatigue, and stay aware of which training block you’re in.

New bits. /morning for an on-demand briefing, month-by-month distance breakdowns, and a Coaching rules page showing the principles I coach by.

Smoother & safer. Faster replies, a firmer line around niggles and illness, and a coach that stops repeating itself.

Remembers you properly. A three-layer memory means the things you tell me — a niggle, a preference, a goal — surface again months later when they matter, and a weekly tidy-up keeps it all coherent.
