Create Private Training Plans

ErgZone+ members can create a (private) Training Plan.

A Training Plan is a structured set of workouts organized by week and days.

It is ideal when you have a set of workouts that must be done in a specific order.

A good example is the 2k Plan, 5k Plan, Sprints, Half Marathon, etc. 

Features

ErgZone tracks athletes' performances throughout the training plan and provides summaries to help athletes (and coaches) gauge their progress. 

Athletes may use the app connected to the ergometer monitor during the workout or program it manually on the machine and report their results manually on the ErgZone app.

The screenshots below demonstrate how training plans are displayed and how the screen changes as they work their way through them.
