A period tells the other side what is going on around training: illness, injury, holidays, travel, a busy spell at work, exams or a training camp. Either the athlete or the coach adds it, and the other one sees it in the calendar.
CalendarAdd periodPick the first day
Hover over the day the period starts and click the Add period icon. You can add a period in advance (holidays) or after the fact (an illness that is already over).
When and what impact
Choose the Kind, set the Start and End - the last day is included. Under Impact on training, pick Training as usual, Training less or differently or Not training.
Name and note
The name is optional - without it the period is named after its kind. The note is a short message for the other side. Confirm with Add period.
The period's days are hatched in its colour in the calendar, with a caption on the first day. Click the strip to see the details, edit or delete it.
