Your Athlete Profile

Your athlete profile is what powers the coach's recommendations. The more accurate it is, the better Aithlo can plan, score, and adapt your training. This article covers identity, metrics, and goals; gear and scheduling live in Sports, equipment and availability.

Identity#

Start with how you show up in Aithlo:

• Username — your handle across the app, with a live availability check as you type so you immediately know whether a name is free.
• Bio — a short description of yourself as an athlete.
• Avatar colors — pick colors for your avatar to personalize your profile.

Performance metrics#

Your metrics are the baseline numbers the planner reads during intake and that feed TSS scoring. Fill in whatever applies to your sports:

• FTP — functional threshold power, for cycling.
• Weight — used in power-to-weight and load calculations.
• Max HR and resting HR — for heart-rate zones and readiness.
• CSS — critical swim speed, for swimming.
• Best 5K — your reference running benchmark.
• One-rep maxes — squat, bench, deadlift, and overhead press (OHP) for strength work.

Keeping these current matters: the plan generator reads them into your athlete brief, and accurate thresholds make your training-load numbers trustworthy. To see how scores are derived, read Activity detail and TSS.

Goals and motivations#

Tell Aithlo what you're training for. You can set a primary goal and your motivations, which shape how the coach plans and the advice it gives. The coach can go further here:

• Suggest goals — propose goals that fit your history and current fitness.
• Assess race feasibility — give you an honest read on whether a target race is realistic in the time available.

If you work with a human coach, they can also weigh in on your goals; see Working with a human coach.

Keeping it up to date#

Treat your profile as a living record. As your fitness changes — a new FTP, a faster 5K, a heavier lift — update the numbers so the coach keeps planning against reality rather than old data. If you set most of this during setup, you can revisit and refine it any time; see Onboarding for how the initial profile is built.
