Reading your athlete season view

What this page is

/athlete/<your_public_id>/season/ is a visual timeline of your race season. It plots each race against a timeline of training phases the system computes from race dates and priorities.

You can filter by year. The default is the current calendar year.

What you see on the page

Race calendar

Each race is a marker on the timeline. Hover or tap for race name, date, distance, priority, and goal time.

Training phases (auto-computed)

Phase boundaries are dynamic, not fixed. Grepiac computes them from three inputs: the methodology (linear, reverse, block, etc.), the race distance (an Olympic and an Ironman taper very differently), and the target fitness for the race. Treat the ranges below as typical shapes, not hard rules.

For each A race (the target of the plan), the full progression:

Base → Build → Peak → Taper, then a short Recovery afterward.
A races get a full taper, its length scales with race distance (longer for an Ironman, shorter for an Olympic).

For each B race:

A compressed progression with a smaller taper, no dedicated peak.
The athlete trains through most of the block and sharpens briefly.

For each C race:

No dedicated taper, the athlete trains through it as a workout or tune-up, with at most a few easy days around it.

When two race cycles overlap (e.g. taper for race 2 lands in the peak window for race 1), the phases are layered on the timeline. Visual overlap is a signal to your coach to reconcile the conflict.

Metric freshness markers

Recent assessments and threshold tests show up as dots on the timeline so you can see when each metric was last established.

Calculator completion per race

For each race, the page shows how many of the 7 wizard calculator steps have been completed. A race with low completion is not yet ready to race well; it needs more wizard work.

What this page is for

Athletes: see where you are in your season at a glance.
Coaches: spot overlap between races, gaps in assessments, or missing wizard work.
Planning conversations: a useful shared view when discussing season strategy.

What the page does NOT do

Trigger any auto-changes. The phases are computed visually from race dates; the macrocycle plan does not auto-rebuild when you view this page.
Show daily workouts. The season view is at the phase level (weeks). Daily workouts are not yet in the product.
Show wellness trends. Those are on the dashboard, not the season view.

Changing the displayed year

Add ?year=<YYYY> to the URL or pick a year from the page selector. Each year is rendered independently with its own race set and computed phases.
