Athletes

The coach roster — what each athlete's status means, how it is worked out, and how to use the list to find who needs you this week.

Athletes is the coach's home: every athlete you work with on one screen, each with a status that answers whether they need you this week. Open an athlete to land in their workspace. See Coaching for the wider coach flow.

What the list shows

VolumeRunning distance this week, with cross-training time beside it
ACWRThis week's load against the last four weeks — see Training load
HealthA dot from their wearable readings, if they have one connected
StatusThe one label that says whether they need you
PhaseThe current season phase, if you use them
Last activeWhen they last logged a workout

Status

The status is one label per athlete. It reads their account, their training and their plan together, so you get one answer instead of four numbers to compare.

StatusWhat it meansWhat to do
● Not invitedTheir workspace is set up, but no invitation has been sentSend them the invitation link
● PendingThe invitation is sent and hasn't been acceptedWait, or resend it
● QuietNothing logged in the last 14 daysCheck in — something has stopped
● Needs planNo workouts planned for next weekPlan their week
● High loadThe last week is loading faster than the last four supportEase the coming week
● Low loadThe last week is well below what the last four supportAdd work, or confirm it's a taper
● On trackNext week is planned, and the load sits where it shouldNothing
Not enough training history to read a status yetNothing — it fills in

The colour is how serious it is

The dot carries severity, not urgency:

  • Grey — nothing to read yet. The athlete hasn't accepted, or hasn't started.
  • Green — nothing to do.
  • Amber — needs your attention.
  • Red — carries injury risk. Only High load is red.

The order is who to look at first

The statuses are checked in a fixed order, and the first one that fits wins. That order is what stops an athlete being reported two ways at once — someone who has logged nothing in three weeks is Quiet, not "Low load", even though both are true of them:

  1. Not invited
  2. Pending
  3. Quiet
  4. Needs plan
  5. High load
  6. Low load
  7. On track

So the order and the colour say different things. An athlete who has gone quiet sorts above one at high load, because you should look at them first — but their dot is amber, because going quiet is not the same kind of problem as training too hard.

Health is separate

Health is its own dot and never feeds the status. A poor night's sleep is not a load problem, and folding it into "High load" would leave you with an alarming label and no way to tell what caused it. The two sit side by side so you can read them apart. See Integrations for what feeds health.

Where else the status appears

  • Hover an athlete row for a short read of where they stand — status, next race, weekly average, this week and health.
  • The athlete's overview page carries it beside their name.
  • The weekly recap email groups your whole roster by it, athletes who need you first. See Inbox.

FAQ

Why does an athlete show "—" instead of a status? There isn't enough training history to place them yet. It needs at least a few weeks of logged workouts before the load part of the answer means anything. Everything else on their row still works.
Can I change what counts as high load? Not today. High load is above 1.3 times the athlete's own four-week load, and low load is below 0.8 — the same bands the [training load](/docs/training-load) charts use. They are ratios against the athlete's own history, so they already adapt to how much each person trains.
An athlete is tapering for a race and shows "Low load". Is that wrong? No — the status reports what the numbers say, and a taper genuinely is a drop in load. It's there to be noticed, not to be obeyed. If you planned it, nothing needs doing.
Does the athlete see their own status? Yes. It sits on their overview page, the same label you see. Nothing on an athlete's workspace is coach-only.
