Training Plan

Athlete Training Plans are the heart of the Insight CoachPro platform. This is where you will review past training, plan future training, and have a blueprint for applying training to the athlete’s training calendar, wherever you post their training schedules

Before You Begin: Updating Workout Settings

Before You Begin: Updating Workout Settings #

The athlete’s Workout Settings will dictate which columns are included in the athlete’s Training Plan. To view and update an athlete’s Workout Settings, click the “ Workouts” shortcut on the right side of the Athlete Hero Bar.

Workout Settings dictate which columns are included in the athlete’s Training Plan. Changing the Workout Settings will affect which columns appear in the Training Plan table but will not delete any prior training data. Additionally, changing the Workout Settings will affect only the current athlete; Workout Settings are unique to each individual athlete.
