Training calendar

Plan every week up to race day.
Watch them add up.

Put your sessions on the calendar, drag them to the days that work, and see each week's distance and time in the Summary column. Your races, the weather and the activities you've done sit on the same page.

Start a plan
February in a 12-week Olympic-distance triathlon plan in TNR, with weekly distance, time and percentage done in the Summary column, a forecast on each day, a training camp in Alcúdia and race day on the 28th. The forecast for the camp's first day is open.

Weekly totals

The Summary column adds up each week's distance and time. Once the week starts, it shows how much is done.

Drag and drop

Drag a session to another day to move it. Hold Alt (Option on a Mac) while you drop to copy it instead.

Weather on every day

Sixteen days of forecast on the calendar, for home or for wherever you'll be.

Month or year

Plan a month at a time, or zoom out to the year with distance and time for every month.

Races

Every race in your season, counting down.

Add a race with its date, sport and place. It shows on race day in the plan it belongs to, and the Races page counts down the days to each one.

Put a tune-up race and your goal race in the same plan, or keep a race on its own until you're ready to plan for it. After the race, link your activity to see its stats and splits on the race.
