Recording a race result

Save the result after a race so the finish becomes durable evidence rather than a detail left only in one conversation.

Your coach needs the race name, exact date, distance and official or chip finish time. Tell it those facts directly or share a screenshot from the timing app or results screen. It should read what you provide, not search the web for a bib or guess a missing result.

Starting from a stored activity

If the run is already in your activity history, your coach can use it as the starting point for the result. The activity supplies defaults for date, distance and elapsed time when you do not provide them.

A watch activity and an official result answer different questions. GPS distance can differ from the measured course, and elapsed activity time can differ from chip time. Give the official distance and finish when you have them; do not let a convenient watch value look more authoritative than it is.

Linking the two records

After saving the result, your coach checks for a locally stored activity on the same date and near the race distance. If it finds the right run, it can link the records. The result remains the source for official finish information, while the activity carries the recorded workout detail.

Correcting or removing a result

Your coach can correct the name, course, date, distance, official time, location, elevation or notes without creating a replacement record. Tags are managed separately so the same label can organize several races.

Removing a duplicate race hides it from your active race list and trends. It is a soft deletion rather than a promise that the stored row was permanently erased; use account deletion requests for permanent personal-data removal.

Once the result is accurate, ask to see the updated race trend. The result can also serve as strong evidence when your coach next evaluates your current running fitness, but recording it alone should not be described as silently changing every training target.
