Weekly Training Planner

The hard part was never choosing the session. It is finding the hour. Put in your real week, your gym and pool hours, and the school run. This works out where training actually fits, and tells you straight when it does not.

Your week

Build it around real life.

Your week looks broadly the same each time. Build the template you can repeat.

Sessions to fit in

What is already booked

Work, the school run, pickups, anything standing. Pick the days each one applies to. This is the part worth taking your time over: every gap this tool finds comes from what you put here, so the more honestly your week is described, the more useful the answer.

Break the working week up rather than blocking out one big shape. A single 9 to 5 stretched across Monday to Friday is the most common way people hide their own training time from themselves. Real weeks are lumpier than that, and the lumps are where the sessions go.

  • Give an odd day its own entry. If you finish at three on a Friday, work from home on a Wednesday, or start late on a Monday, deselect that day on your main work block and add a second entry just for it.
  • Shift workers, add each pattern separately. An early, a late and a night are three different commitments, not one. Put each on the days it actually falls and the tool will plan around the rotation instead of averaging it.
  • Leave your lunch break out if it is genuinely yours. That hour is one of the most reliable training slots a working week has, and blocking it out is how it disappears.
  • Add the commute if it is long enough to matter, as its own entry either side of work. If you run or ride part of it, that is a session hiding in plain sight.
  • Include the things that are not work. Bedtime routine, a standing call with family, club night, the weekly shop. Anything you would not move for a training session belongs here.

How it works

It plans the hard sessions first.

Most plans fail on a Wednesday, not because the athlete lacked motivation, but because the plan never survived contact with a real calendar. This works the other way round. It starts from the hours you genuinely have, then places the sessions that are hardest to place before the easy ones.

A swim is harder to place than a run. The pool has opening hours, the road does not. So the swim goes in first, while there is still room to be picky, and the run fills a gap around it. Scheduling the easy session first is what leaves you at 9pm on Thursday with a swim you cannot do.

It also refuses to lie to you. If a session will not fit, it says so and tells you which constraint stopped it, rather than quietly dropping it. Knowing that four hard sessions do not fit in your week is more useful than a plan that pretends they do.

Routine or knocked off track

Routine builds the repeatable template for a week that looks broadly the same each time, and it favours the same times of day so the habit has something to hang on. Knocked off track is for the week that has already gone sideways: it plans only the days you have left and puts your most important sessions in first, so if something has to give, it is the session that matters least.

Where to next

Make the hours count.

A plan is not the same as a coach.

This finds the gaps. Knowing what to put in them, and what to change when the week moves again, is the job we do with you. Every plan is built around the life you actually have.
