CoachUpFit
Sample plan
Drop in your sport, level, goal, and weekly time. We generate a representative first week — the same structure CoachUpFit's adaptation engine produces for athletes on day 1.
This preview is static — change any input and it regenerates. The real adaptive plan inside CoachUpFit then adjusts every session based on your Garmin and Strava data day after day. But week 1 is week 1: the template is the same.

Session details
Warm-up 15 min easy. 2×15 min at threshold pace, 3 min easy recovery between. 10 min cool-down.
Wed
68 min
Target zones
Z2 easy (heart rate 60–70% max)
Why today
Aerobic base. 70–80% of weekly volume sits here. Mitochondria, capillary density, fat oxidation.
Session details
Conversational pace throughout. Heart rate stays under your aerobic ceiling. Walk breaks fine if needed.
Thu
55 min
Target zones
Z4 threshold (~88% MaxHR)
Why today
Specific race-pace conditioning. Builds confidence at race effort and improves running economy.

Target zones
Z2 sustained (60–72% max HR)
Why today
Glycogen depletion + slow-twitch fibre recruitment. The single most important session for endurance events.

Generated at coachupfit.com/sample-plan — this is a representative sample week. The real CoachUpFit plan adapts every session based on Garmin / Strava data.
Polarised intensity distribution: about 75–80% of weekly time at easy aerobic effort, 15–20% at quality (threshold, intervals, tempo), and 0–5% at race-pace. This distribution is the strongest predictor of long-term endurance improvement in the published literature.
Quality sessions placed on Tuesday and Thursday with full recovery between. Long session on Saturday (running/cycling) or Sunday brick (triathlon). Rest day on Monday or Friday depending on your selected days-per-week.
Each session includes a 'why today' explanation — the same one-line rationale the CoachUpFit engine uses when it adapts the plan.
The real product reads your Garmin and Strava data and adjusts every session — when you sleep badly, the next quality session moves; when your HRV drops, intensity lowers; when you skip a day, the week reorganises.
Race-week tapering, injury-return ramps, and field-test recalibration all happen automatically. This preview shows the template, not the engine.
You won't see your personal training zones here because they're calibrated from your Garmin data on day 1 of your real plan.
Connect Garmin or Strava, complete a 60-second onboarding, and your real week 1 is generated with your actual zones, race calendar, and adaptation rules. No credit card. Cancel any time before day 7 with no charge.
