Create a training plan (POST /api/public/training-plans)

Create a training plan. Provide traineeId (or escortId) to attach it to a coaching period, or omit both to leave it unassigned. Set isTemplate to save it as a reusable template. The workouts array holds an ordered list of workout days; each day has a trainingName and an exercises array. Each exercise references a catalog id via exerciseDetails (get ids from GET /exercises).

BREAKING CHANGE the plan name is now "title". The previous "name" field has been removed, so a request sending "name" is rejected with 400 "must have required property title". This matches the field name used in every read response. The same rename applies to PATCH /training-plans/{planId}.

To build a plan from an existing one, do not read it and re-create it: that silently drops per-set prescriptions, supersets, tempo and intensity. Use POST /training-plans/{planId}/duplicate instead.

Authentication

Requires an API key, sent as Authorization: Bearer cp_live_....

API keys carry scopes. Get the catalog of scopes and webhook events lists every scope.
