Experience level.

Two independent self-reported fields in Settings → Training inputs → Performance baselines → Experience level: one for running, one for lifting. Each picks from beginner / intermediate / advanced.

The AI uses these to anchor starting volume, intensity progression rates, and exercise selection. A beginner lifter sees more accessible compound variations; an advanced runner sees longer intervals and tighter pace targets earlier in a block.

Update them when you’ve genuinely moved up a tier — a couple of consistent training years, a real benchmark race, a milestone 1RM. Inflating the numbers means the AI prescribes work you can’t recover from; under-stating means slower progress than you’re capable of.
