Managing Races

Your races are the targets your whole plan points toward. Adding them tells Aithlo what you are training for and when, so the coach can build your phases and taper around the right dates.

Adding a race#

From the calendar (or your profile) you can add a race in a few seconds. For each race you set:

• Name — what the event is called.
• Date — when it happens.
• Location — where it is held.
• Distance — the event distance or format.
• Goal — what you are aiming for (a target time, a finish, a placing).
• Priority — A, B, or C.

A / B / C priority#

Priority tells the coach how much the plan should revolve around each race:

• A race — your key goal. The plan peaks and tapers specifically for this event.
• B race — important, but secondary. You train through it with a light freshening rather than a full taper.
• C race — a tune-up or training event you race off normal training load.

Setting honest priorities matters: too many A races and the plan cannot peak you properly for any of them.

Races are unlimited#

There is no cap on races at any tier — Free, Pro, Ultimate, and Ultimate+ all get unlimited races. Add every event on your radar, even tentative ones, and refine the priorities later.

Editing and removing#

Tap any race to edit its details or change its priority, or remove it if your plans change. Whenever you add, edit, or delete a race, the coach can re-evaluate your training phases and taper to match the new calendar.

How races drive your plan#

Aithlo uses your race calendar — especially your next A race — to lay out Base → Build → Peak → Taper phases and weekly load targets. A near-term race also shortens your forecast window so the plan stays focused on getting you ready. You can see the resulting phases and races together in The Calendar, and learn how periodization works in Training Phases.
