Apply a program to an athlete

Put a whole block on an athlete's calendar by start or end date.

Last updated July 18, 2026

Applying a program stamps every one of its workouts onto one athlete's training calendar. From there they are ordinary workouts, so you can edit, move, or delete any of them individually.

Apply it

  1. Open the athlete's profile and find the Training program card above their calendar.
  2. Choose the program.
  3. Choose how to anchor it:
    • Start on this date: the program's first day is the date you pick. Use this for a block that begins now.
    • End on this date: the program's last day is the date you pick, and everything counts backward from there. Use this when the block has to finish on a fixed day: a goal race, a season opener, a test week.
  4. Set how far ahead the athlete can see (below).
  5. Check the preview line, which shows the exact span and how many workouts will be added, then Apply program.

Applied alongside, never over

If a day already has a workout, the program's workout is added after it rather than replacing it. Nothing you assigned by hand is overwritten.

Control how far ahead they can see

When you apply a program you choose what the athlete and their family can see: 1 week ahead, 2 weeks, 1 month, or the whole program.

With a window set, the athlete sees today's work and the next few days, and the rest appears as it comes into range. Past workouts always stay visible. You always see the entire program regardless of the setting.

This is useful when you would rather not hand over a full sixteen-week build the moment someone signs up.

Adjust individual days

Once applied, the workouts behave like any other. Open a day to edit the wording, move a workout to a different date, add an extra session, or delete one that does not suit the athlete. Editing the original program later does not change work already on a calendar.

Remove a program

Use Remove on the program card if you applied the wrong one, picked the wrong dates, or want to move an athlete onto a different block.

Removing deletes the program's remaining workouts from the calendar but keeps anything already marked completed, so the athlete's training history stays intact. Workouts you assigned by hand are never touched. Removal cannot be undone, so it asks first.

Switching programs

Moving an athlete from a beginner to an intermediate block? Remove the old program first, then apply the new one, so the two do not stack up on the same days.
