Session is locked. |
The session is locked, which means, that Athletica will not move or delete it, or modify any detail of it. Generally, you can unlock sessions created by our Smart Coach, by you or your coach, so that they can be freely moved or deleted by our AI. Only the details of unlocked, Smart Coach created sessions can be modified. To unlock a session click on the lock icon in the session header of the training plan view. You can set it to always automatically lock sessions of the next few days in your user profile settings. |

Session is unlocked. |
The session is unlocked, which means, that Athletica's Smart Coach considers moving or deleting it, or modifying any detail of it to adapt based on your recently logged sessions. To lock a session click on the lock icon in the session header of your training plan view. This will prevent modifying the session. We recommend only locking upcoming sessions, so they won't change at the last minute. Also, a coach can consider locking some key sessions. You can set it to always automatically lock sessions of the next few days in your user profile settings. |
AFAP |
As fast as possible |
All out exercise. Sprint maximally. |
|
Catch-up |
The catch-up drill exaggerates this aspect of the stroke. It is a drill that reminds swimmers not to pull back immediately when the hand enters the water, but rather to position the limb overhead for the catch. |
CD |
Cool down |
The end phase of a training session that typically finishes in zone 1/2, and lasts 10-20 min. |
CH |
Choice |
Pick a stroke or mix of strokes of your choice during this set. |
CS |
Contrast set |
A contrast set is a phase or portion of the workout used to break up the training session and separate one or more main sets. |
Desc |
Descend |
Swim each repetition faster than the previous. |
FTP |
Functional threshold power |
Your functional threshold power (FTP) is calculated as the mean maximal power you can produce over 20 min, minus 5% to equilibrate to your 1 hour threshold (Allen & Coggan, 2019[2]). This is also an estimate of the power associated with VT2. We can also determine the HR associated with this power, by taking the last 10 min average value during this test (VT2 HR). |
Load |
Training load |
Load is an estimate of the accumulation of stress. While stress comes in many forms, we refer to Load in the context of exercise stress. Exercise Load takes into account the training intensity and duration, and we use the MP4 to weight higher training intensities accordingly due to the exponential increase in anaerobic glycolytic energy requirements for such intensities. Athletica uses a modified version of the original Banister et al. (1975) paper[1] to make this calculation. |
MS |
Main set |
The main set is the portion of the training session that really matters, and is typically the bulk of the training load you will complete in the session. The MS is always aligned with the session aim or purpose of the session, and you will spend time in zone as shown in Figure 1. This is where your focus should be for any training session. |
NGP |
Normalised Graded Pace |
An approximation of the equivalent pace had your run been done on flat terrain. |
PPB |
Pull, paddles, band |
In this condition, the swimming technique involves the use of a pull buoy between the legs, a rubber band around the ankles, and paddles worn on the hands. This condition alters the swimmer’s hydrodynamics, and creates a ‘strength endurance’ type swim training session. |
PREP |
Preparation |
The preparation phase of the session comes after the warm-up, and acts as a form of primer for the main set (MS). This PREP phase of your session could be considered analogous to the practice of revving the engine of a race car prior to the real work that’s about to ensure. |
ROB |
Run off the bike |
Typically for the triathlon training context, running after the bike means running as soon as possible following completion of the bike training session. This session prepares you for the neuromuscular requirements of running after cycling in a triathlon. |
WU |
Warm up |
The beginning phase of a training session that typically begins in zone 1, transitions to zone 2, and lasts 10-20 min. |
