Plan workouts on the calendar

Add workouts for a batch, keep them as drafts, and publish the week when it's ready.

Plans is one calendar for all your batches. You add workouts as drafts, check them, then publish so athletes see them.

Find your way around

  • Pick the batch from the list at the top left.
  • Use the arrows to go to the previous or next week. Tap the dates in the middle to come back to today.
  • Switch between Week, Month and Athletes. Week shows seven days side by side. Month shows the whole month; tap a day to open its week. Athletes is a spreadsheet with one row per athlete (see Plan athlete by athlete).
  • The tabs along the top are Calendar, Templates, Exercise library and Cycling & swim · preview.

A small dot next to a date means the batch trains that day. A red dot means that session is cancelled.

Add a workout

  1. Tap New workout at the top, the + on a day, or Rest · add workout on an empty day. You can also use New › Workout from the top bar.
  2. Choose Running or Gym.
  3. Write the steps. See Build a running workout and Build a gym workout.
  4. Under Assign to, choose Whole batch or Pick athletes.
  5. Add Coach notes if you like. Athletes see them with the workout.
  6. Tap Save draft to keep it hidden, or Publish to send it now.

Drafts and publishing

Drafts have a dashed border and a DRAFT label. Athletes can't see them.

When the week has drafts, a Publish week button shows how many. Tap it to publish every draft in that week for this batch. Athletes get a notification and an email saying new workouts are in their plan. Runs also go to the watches of athletes who send planned runs to their watch.

Change a workout

Tap a workout to open it.

  • Save (on a published workout) updates it. Athletes with that workout today or later get a "workout changed" notification.
  • Move to drafts hides a published workout again. Athletes who haven't done it lose it from their plan.
  • Delete removes it. Athletes who already did it keep their record. You can undo straight after.
  • Copy to with Copy as draft puts a draft copy on any date.

Move and copy

  • Drag a workout to another day to move it. You can undo from the message that appears.
  • Hold Alt (Option on a Mac) while you drag to make a draft copy instead.
  • Or tap the copy icon on a workout, then Paste here on one or more days. Tap Done when finished.

On a phone, dragging is off. Open the workout and change its Date, or use the copy icon.

Good to know

  • A workout some athletes already did can't be moved. Copy it instead.
  • An amber box like "2 athletes have no workout" means some athletes in the batch have nothing that day. Tap it to add one.
  • Athletes who join the batch later get its published workouts from the day they join.
