These aren't training plans. They're the language of racing — the physiology, pacing strategy, fueling math, and execution cues that turn fitness into a fast finish time.

Every playbook is built on the same four ANC coaching pillars: aerobic first, inside-out first, repeatable before harder, and trust what you've built. They're free, they're comprehensive, and they're yours to keep.

What's inside each playbook

▶  5 engine landmarks — LT1, aerobic crossover, CS/CP, sVO2max, anaerobic battery
▶  Full zone tables anchored to your Critical Speed / Critical Power
▶  Pacing triangulation — HR, pace, power, and RPE working together
▶  Fueling & hydration math — carb targets, sodium ranges, gut-training guidance
▶  Workout toolkit — easy, threshold, race-pace, VO2max, and strength sessions
▶  Green / Yellow / Red daily readiness check-in
▶  Race-week taper, race-morning choreography, and aid-station planning
▶  Mile-by-mile execution cues with pace, power, HR & RPE targets

Why give this away?

Athletes who understand the science make better decisions — on race day and in training. The playbooks are the foundation. Coaching is what makes it personal: daily adaptive plans, real-time feedback, and someone who knows your numbers.
