Morning, Jack.
Checked in ✓

Your overnight recovery came in low again, so I've taken some distance out of today's tempo. Same session, less of it.

Still watching that left calf from Sunday.

Dan Geisler

Head coach, Club Coaction

Every session in the library is his. He has coached British age group champions, and age group world and European champions, and taken 30 minutes off a marathon PB. Those are his own coaching results, not this app's. What Bricko has is his sessions and his thinking.

You get faster on the sessions you finish.

Every morning, a brief

How the day gets read, before you lace up.

Three things decide it, and you see the working on all three.

Step 1

Your wearable, plus thirty seconds

Overnight recovery, sleep and resting heart rate come off it. Thirty seconds from you on how the legs feel.

Step 2

One decision, in one word

All of it lands on one word: Primed, Steady, Hold easy or Rest up. That word decides the day.

Step 3

What today becomes

Primed hands you the session at full length. Hold easy means less of it. Either way, a sentence saying what changed and why.

Run and triathlon

Whichever way you're building.

A first 5K, or three disciplines into an Ironman.

Run & triathlon

Two sports, one coach who gets both.

Swim, bike and run are planned together, and readiness is worked out per discipline. A sore calf rules out running without ruling out the pool. Most watches give you one number for the whole body.

When to ease off

A rest day is a brick too.

Log a niggle, or string together rough nights, and the load comes off, the day drops to easy, or it becomes a rest day. New to structured training? More caution, not less.
