Adding a Race

Training optimization is based on the races you select. It ensures that race priority, distance, and date of races being added are feasible and align with your training volume, weekly long session durations, performance ability, and other races already on your schedule.

Race Priorities

A race's priority represents the degree to which it drives decision-making during your training optimization.

A Races drive how your season is divided into distinct training phases. These are generally the longest races you're doing due to the training volume and weekly long session durations required for these races. A 'Race Prep' phase will be designed to support each A race on your schedule that is designed to optimize your training toward that A race.

B Races are scheduled within the training phases that were determined by your A races. Your training will be optimized for these races in a manner that minimizes negative impact on your training toward your A races.

C Races do not impact your training optimization at all. C races give you flexibility to add races that don't align with your other priorities or abilities. Altering your training to accommodate these races is up to your discretion.

Building Your Season

Select your races in order of priority as follows:

  1. Add A races first. Go from longest to shortest. Full triathlons and marathons must be A races. It's best to select and prioritize races that create longer Race Prep training phases (at least 8 weeks).
  2. Add B races. If scheduling a B race within a Race Prep phase for an A race, the B race cannot be longer than the A race.
  3. Add C races as desired.

Race Unavailability

Race Unavailability is based on your data and your selections of other races. It keeps you safe and ensures that you have ample time to prepare for each race on your schedule.

If the Race Priority shows the date for an A or B race as 'unavailable', that means that it conflicts with one or more of your A or B race selections or that there is not enough time to safely and sufficiently increase your long sessions before the race date. As appropriate, you can choose another race or change the priority.
