Goal races

Set the race an athlete or a whole batch is training for, with a countdown and goal time.

A goal race gives the athlete a countdown, and lets you plan training blocks back from race day.

Add a race

  1. Open the athlete's page and go to the Progress tab.
  2. Tap Add race (or Edit on the race card).
  3. Under For, pick {name} only or Whole batch.
  4. Enter the Race name and Date. The date must be today or later.
  5. Pick the Distance: 5K, 10K, Half, Full or Other (type the km).
  6. Add a Goal time if you like, for example 3:59:00.
  7. Tap Save race.

Whole batch sets the race for everyone in the batch right now. Each athlete can still change their own goal time.

What athletes see

  • The race and countdown on their Today and Progress.
  • "Race week" in the last 7 days, then "Race day".
  • After race day they enter their finish time, or tap I didn't run it. Their Progress then shows the result against the goal.

The race also shows under the athlete's name on their page.
