Training plans
Lay out a season for a squad, prescribe sessions and targets, and track who's keeping up.
A training plan is your prescription over time - the digital version of the spreadsheet a head coach shares each season. Lay out the arc of a campaign week by week, prescribe each session, set targets, and track who's hitting them.
You'll need permission to manage training plans. Coaches see the plans for the squads they coach; club-wide coaches see them all.
Create a plan
Start a new plan, give it a name and dates, and assign it to one or more squads. Everyone in those groups is on the plan.
Block out the season into phases - Base, Build, Peak, Race, Taper, or whatever you use. Each phase carries its aims and a rough target load.
Lay out the weeks within each phase. A week is the spine of the plan: a "week beginning" date, a title, and notes - "it's 2k week", "race-taper: sleep, hydrate, stretch".
Prescribe sessions and targets
The builder is a week-by-day calendar. Drop sessions into the cells:
- Session kind sets the type and colour - water, erg, test, land, cross-training or rest.
- Prescription captures the detail - reps × distance, rate, target split, rest, zone
- plus a slot label like "Water 1 (UT1/AT)".
- Mark a session mandatory or optional, and set a priority (low / normal / high).
- Add targets - a squad-wide target, or per-athlete targets (for example auto-set from each rower's latest 2k).
A prescribed session can link to a real session on the calendar (so attendance proves adherence), to a task the athlete completes on their own (proven by a logged activity), or to a benchmark test (proven by a result). Reuse common prescriptions by saving them to your club's session library and dragging them in.
Plans reuse the rest of Rowbot rather than living in their own world: linking a plan session to a calendar outing means attendance, journals and benchmarks all feed adherence automatically.
Track compliance
Switch to the adherence view - an athletes-by-weeks heatmap showing who completed what and who hit their targets.
Scan the squad rollup for the week to see overall completion at a glance.
Drill into a row to see an individual's progression - completed sessions, targets met, and the splits or distances they recorded.
Spot the athletes slipping behind and follow up - a journal comment, a word at the next outing, or an adjusted target.
Adherence draws on the data you're already collecting - see Athletes & analytics for the wider view of each rower.
