Coach assessments

Save a dated coaching judgement about a stretch of training while preserving the focus, evidence and conclusion the coach used at the time.

You can ask your coach for a lasting judgement about a stretch of training, not just a recap of one activity.

A Coach Assessment — a saved coaching verdict with the evidence behind it — can cover progress toward your current focus, a race debrief, a return from injury or the end of a training block. It opens with a short summary and keeps the fuller reasoning for later planning conversations.

The date records when the judgement happened

An assessment is dated the day your coach makes the judgement, not the period it examines. If you debrief a completed block a week after race day, the assessment carries the debrief date while its evidence period still covers the block.

This keeps the history honest: it shows when each conclusion became available to you and your coach.

What is preserved

The assessment keeps the training focus as it stood when it was saved, the date range it considered, the coach’s summary and full report, and any cited activities. The evidence figures are stored as the coach reported them.

Later syncs, duplicate removal or deleted activities do not rewrite that old judgement. A cited activity that is later deleted remains named but no longer opens. The assessment is a record of what the coach saw at the time, not a live dashboard that continually recalculates itself.

Saving, correcting and using one

Your coach offers to save once the conversation reaches a verdict, and saving requires your agreement. An assessment is written once rather than edited. If a later conversation reaches a different conclusion, save a new assessment beside the old one so the sequence tells the story; delete an assessment that should not remain.

An assessment does not change your plan by itself

Your coach can read recent assessments before changing or starting a plan, but the saved judgement performs no plan edit. Any recommended change still goes through the normal planning conversation and your agreement.

A one-run observation belongs with that activity as feedback. An athlete self-report about energy, pain or next week’s time belongs in a check-in. The assessment is the coach’s wider judgement across evidence.

Ask your coach

  • “Assess how this training block went.”

  • “Give me a return-from-injury assessment using the last three weeks.”

  • “Save that assessment so we can use it when we plan the next block.”

  • Weekly check-ins — Record how you feel and how much time you have, then use the latest check-in when you next build or reshape the plan.
  • Feedback on a single run — Ask for a workout-first review of one run, discuss the result, and save the coaching feedback you want to keep with that activity.
  • Your day and week reviews — Compare planned training with completed activities for one day or a whole week without losing the status of individual sessions.
