Introducing: The Hybrid Plan

For a long time, the bottleneck in high-level endurance coaching has been time.

Analyzing data, cross-referencing physiological markers, and structuring the raw skeleton of a training block takes hours. This meant that truly individualized, science-backed coaching had to be priced at a premium.

I wanted to change that. I wanted to offer the exact same coaching philosophy, scientific rigor, and physiological oversight that I use with my elite athletes, but at a price point that makes sense for the self-driven amateur.

Enter The Hybrid Plan.

  • On my homepage, I state that "we are not machines" and that I do not believe in automated, cookie-cutter plans. The Hybrid Plan does not change this philosophy; it reinforces it.

    Leveraging my background in engineering, I have custom-built a proprietary, advanced analytical AI driven system. This system interfaces directly with Intervals.icu, reads your training data, and cross-references it against a massive, curated database of physiological literature and my specific workout library. I have written extensive, strict guardrails to ensure it operates exactly to my coaching specifications.

    Think of this system as my junior analyst. It crunches the numbers, organizes the data, and prepares the groundwork. It removes the administrative busywork so that I can focus 100% of my time on the actual coaching. The AI does the math; I make the decisions. Every plan, every adaptation, and every piece of feedback is reviewed, refined, and finalized by me.

    • Proprietary AI-Assisted Programming: Your foundational plan is generated by my bespoke system, ensuring it aligns perfectly with the latest sports science and your personal physiological data.

    • Real Human Oversight: I review and finalize every single workout. You are not being coached by a bot; you are being coached by me, supercharged by powerful tools.

    • Weekly Adaptations: Your training is never static. Every week, your plan is adjusted based on your compliance, fatigue levels, and upcoming schedule.

    • The Weekly Coaching Report: Every week, I provide a precise, actionable overview of how your training went. I will flag specific physiological markers (like decoupling or heart rate responses), highlight your progress, and give you clear directives on what to improve and what to pay attention to in the coming week.

    • Weekly communication: I had to cut corners somewhere and this hurts me the most. I’ll guarantee response times within 7 days. Now believe me when I say I don’t WANT to cut back on communication. So while I can’t promise you more than this, I will most definitely try to do better!

  • I am offering this plan at this price point for a simple reason: I deeply care about making high-quality, scientifically sound coaching accessible to everyone, especially dedicated athletes who might be priced out of premium 1-on-1 tiers.

    If you look closely at the endurance coaching industry today, you usually find two extremes. On one side, it is unfortunately the norm for coaches to take on massive rosters, which inevitably leads to a subpar, copy-paste experience for the athlete. On the other side, there is a flood of fully AI-powered training apps hitting the market. I have tested many of these systems myself, and without a real human in the loop, they consistently fail at the fundamental basics of training logic.

    I wanted to build something better. I have spent countless hours leveraging my engineering background to automate the administrative busywork of my job, relentlessly refining the system so that it scales without compromising a single drop of quality. I am 100% confident that I have achieved exactly that—if I wasn't, I simply wouldn't put my name on it or offer it to you.

    That being said, there is one thing technology can never replicate: the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have a human being who genuinely cares about your progress, just a message away, pretty much all day. I pride myself on providing that deep, continuous connection in my standard plans, and I have built the Hybrid Plan to include as much of that personalized oversight as possible. But because real, thoughtful human attention is the one thing that cannot be automated, streamlining our communication cadence was the necessary step to make this €50 price point a reality.
