Basic concepts

What workouts, activities, completion, races, templates and reports mean in EasyTrackly.

For coaches and athletesUpdated:

A few words in the app have a precise meaning. This page explains them so that the rest of the guide reads the same way to everyone.

The current week in the athlete calendar: completed workout cards and activity cards before today, planned workouts after it
In the calendar a workout card is the plan, and an activity card is what the athlete actually did

Workout

A workout is the plan: what the athlete should do on a given day. It has a sport, a description and targets such as duration, distance or interval steps. The coach plans the workouts in an athlete's calendar.

Activity

An activity is the execution: a record of what the athlete actually did. It comes from a connected watch, or the athlete enters it by hand. It holds measured values: time, distance, heart rate, load.

Completed workout

A workout becomes completed once it is linked to an activity. The athlete can link an activity from their watch to the workout, or mark the workout as completed - then an activity is created from the plan. The workout card shows it as completed, and plan and execution can be compared.

Race

A race is a competition in the athlete's calendar: date, distance, location and, afterwards, the result. Every race has an A, B or C priority - A is the key race of the season that the plan builds towards.

Template

A template is a saved workout the coach reuses. Once placed in the calendar it becomes an ordinary workout for that athlete; changing the template does not change workouts already placed.

Report

A report is the athlete's answer to the coach's request: a few sentences on how a training period went. The coach asks for a report once or on a regular schedule and reads the submitted ones in the Reports inbox.

Invitation

An athlete is connected to a coach through an invitation code. A coach sees and plans only for athletes who joined them with a code.
