Constructs a full periodized training macrocycle from the user's race goal, target date, current VDOT, and lifestyle constraints. Produces a week-by-week plan with daily workout prescriptions drawn from `data/workout-templates.json`, enforcing the 3-up-1-down volume progression and polarized methodology. The final 2-3 taper weeks are shaped by the `taper-protocol` skill.

/run-init and all profile fields are populated in storage/users.json./run-replan (race date change, injury recovery, or schedule reset).adapt-plan makes paces stale enough to warrant regenerating the remainder of the plan.A fully populated storage/plan.json with phases, weekly prescriptions, and day-level workout cards. The file is written atomically and then validated by the plan-integrity-check hook.
See body.md for full instructions and scripts/macrocycle.py for the date-math and phase-split logic.
