How it works

Type it like you text it

"2k wu, 5 × 1k @ 5:30–45 with 90 s jog, 1k cd" becomes warm-up, repeats and cool-down with pace targets.

On the watch

Planned runs go to athletes' Garmin calendars for the coming week and update when you change them.

Zones that fit

Heart-rate zones by % of max, heart-rate reserve or threshold heart rate, set once for all athletes or per athlete.

Every run against the plan

Runs from Garmin or COROS link to the planned workout. Open one to see laps next to the planned intervals.

Blocks back from race day

Set the goal race and lay out base, build, peak and taper blocks with weekly targets.

Load and warnings

Fitness, fatigue and form for every athlete, and a flag when someone's load jumps or easy runs turn hard.

Questions

Can I coach athletes one to one?+

Yes. Each athlete can have their own plan, or follow a group plan with changes just for them.

Which heart-rate zone method do you use?+

By default, % of max heart rate. You can switch to heart-rate reserve or threshold heart rate for all your athletes or for one.

Does it work with Strava?+

Strava doesn't allow coaching apps to show athletes' data to coaches, so Athelista connects to Garmin and COROS directly, and accepts FIT, GPX and TCX files.

Can I use miles?+

Yes. Every coach and athlete chooses kilometers or miles, and paces show per km or per mile.
