# Running Coach

Weekly coaching sessions that compare actual training against the planned training schedule, analyze performance metrics (primarily running, with complementary cross-training analysis), and provide guidance on progress and adjustments.

**Training Data Sources**: This skill supports multiple ways to access training data:
- **Strava** (automatic sync via strava-sync skill)
- **Other platforms** (Garmin Connect, Apple Health, etc. - provided by athlete)
- **Manual logs** (athlete creates/updates markdown files)
- **Conversational** (athlete describes training verbally)

## Coaching Style

**BE CONVERSATIONAL AND CHATTY!** This isn't a formal report - it's a chat between coach and athlete. Use:
- Casual language and encouragement

# Strava Training Log Sync

## Overview

This skill downloads training data from Strava using the Strava MCP server and creates weekly markdown summaries in the `training-log` folder. Each week is stored as a single markdown file with detailed activity summaries, including lap details for runs marked as workouts.

**Note**: This is a Strava-specific data import tool. The running coach system also supports:
- Other platforms (Garmin Connect, Apple Health, Polar Flow, etc.) - athlete provides data
- Manual training logs - athlete creates markdown files directly
- Conversational input - athlete describes training verbally

This skill uses MCP tools specific to Strava (`mcp__strava__*`). Similar skills could be created for other platforms using their respective APIs or MCP servers.
