Short answer

How can I automate my tapering schedule with AI?

Your AI uses the Competition Peak Planner to generate a week-by-week plan that drops your training volume by 40% to 60%. This keeps your intensity high so you don't lose fitness before race day. You get a specific, actionable schedule based on your current load.

The results.

What you get from the taper.

The AI handles the math so you can focus on the training.

VOLUME

Reduced training load

The AI calculates a 40% to 60% reduction in total volume. This prevents fatigue while keeping you ready.

INTENSITY

Maintained speed

The plan keeps your high-intensity sessions intact. You won't lose your top-end power during the taper.

SCHEDULE

Weekly breakdown

You receive a clear, week-by-week roadmap. It shows exactly how much to pull back each day.

HUMAN

Final plan review

The AI provides the structure, but you decide if the volume feels right for your body.

The workflow

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my actual training logs?

    No. The AI generates a new tapering schedule for you to follow; it does not edit your historical training data.

  • 02

    Does it decide which workouts I should do?

    The AI suggests the volume and intensity, but you are responsible for the final decision on what you actually perform.

  • 03

    How much volume does it actually cut?

    It is programmed to reduce volume by 40% to 60% depending on your specific needs.

  • 04

    Can I ask for a taper that only reduces volume by 20%?

    No. The tool is specifically designed to generate schedules within the 40% to 60% reduction range.

  • 05

    Will it tell me if I'm overtraining?

    No. This tool is strictly for generating tapering schedules based on existing data, not for medical or physiological diagnosis.
