Your Training Just Got a Feedback Loop
by The Next Race
Your training just got a feedback loop
You wake up. Scale. Watch. HRV's good. Slept seven hours. Legs feel like a 6.
You used to write that in Notes. Now you log it on the day. Three taps.
That small ritual is the foundation of what we shipped this week.
Measurements, on the calendar
Right-click any day → Measurements → pick one. Done.
- Weight. Height. VO₂max. Lactate threshold. Wellness (1–10).
- FTP. CSS. Threshold pace — the three numbers that actually run your training zones.
A blue dot appears on the day. Hover for the values. Tomorrow you'll overwrite, not stack — one clean value per day. A trendline waiting to happen.
Tests, where they belong
The numbers above don't show up by magic. They come from tests. So we made tests live on the calendar too.
Schedule an FTP test six weeks out. Pick a preset — FTP Test, Ramp Test, Cooper Test, Threshold Pace Test, CSS Test, Lactate Test — or roll your own.
On the day: open it, type the result, hit Mark complete.
Completing a test writes the measurement for you. FTP lands in your log. Dot on the day. Numbers move forward.
The loop
Tracking on its own is a journal. Testing on its own is a number with nowhere to go.
Connect the two and training becomes a loop.
Plan → test → measurement → next block. Repeat.
Next up
Auto-derived training zones. Coach views on athlete profiles. Charts that answer "am I getting faster?" Wearable sync.
Try it
Open The Next Race. Right-click today. Log a wellness score.
Tomorrow, do it again.
That's how it starts.
