Endurance and running coaches
For running and endurance coaches who are tired of retyping intervals.
You write "6 x 800 m @ 3:30, 2 min jog" and the athlete has to turn it into a watch workout, or run it from memory. On Loadout the line becomes stages with targets, the stages go to their watch, and the run completes the session when it lands.
The problems, and what Loadout does about them.
TodayAthletes building watch workouts by hand from your text.
On LoadoutStructured workouts pushed to Garmin and to intervals.icu, which forwards them on to Garmin, Wahoo and Zwift.
TodayLogging runs twice: once on the watch, once for the coach.
On LoadoutThe activity comes back from Garmin, Strava, intervals.icu, Apple Health or Health Connect and completes the prescribed session.
TodayStrength work living in a different app or a PDF.
On LoadoutStrength and running in one programme: a set grid for the gym, stages for the run, one calendar.
TodayNot knowing how the athlete is absorbing the load.
On LoadoutDaily check-ins with sleep, soreness and mood, plus HRV and resting heart rate from the watch or phone, seven days at a glance per athlete.
TodayStarting a new athlete blind.
On LoadoutWhen they connect intervals.icu, Strava or Garmin, their activity history can be imported, so you see what they have actually been running.
A week.
- SundayType the week. Intervals, tempo, long run and two gym sessions, structured as you type.
- MondayThe intervals are on the athlete's watch. Each rep guided, each recovery timed.
- MondayThe run lands and the session is complete, with pace and heart rate beside the targets.
- ThursdayMove the long run to Saturday by dragging it. The watch calendar follows.
- Every morningThe briefing names who missed a session and who is running hot.
The features that matter here.
- Sessions on the watchCardio pushed to Garmin and intervals.icu; the activity logs itself.
- Structured prescriptionsType the session your way; it becomes sets, reps, load, pace and rest.
- Daily readinessSleep, HRV, soreness and mood each morning, in front of you when you programme.
- Roster flags and the morning briefingWho went quiet, who is slipping, who hit a record, with a draft message each.
Questions.
Which platforms can my athletes use?
Sessions are pushed to Garmin and intervals.icu (which forwards to Garmin, Wahoo and Zwift). Activities come back from Garmin, Strava, intervals.icu, Apple Health, Health Connect and TCX files.
Can I prescribe by pace, heart rate or power?
Yes. Write the target the way you would normally: a pace, a heart rate zone, a power figure, a distance or a duration. It is read into the stage and sent to the watch as the target.
