Assign the workout to athletes

Apply a workout to one athlete, to several or to a group, and choose between a shared workout and individual copies.

Written by Romain Malbreil

On the Plan a training page, the Concerned athletes section decides who gets the workout and in what form. This is where you choose between one workout shared by a whole group and an individual copy per athlete.


1. Choosing the athletes

In the Apply to a list of athletes field you can select:

  • one particular athlete;

  • all your athletes;

  • a group of athletes (a team).

The athletes you select appear under the field. Clear removes them all at once.


2. The group workout

When you turn Group workout on:

  • a single workout is created and shared between every athlete in the group;

  • it is added automatically to any future member of the group.

That is the recommended mode for collective sessions, clubs and teams. In short, whenever the workout is the same for everyone.


3. Creating one workout per athlete

When the workout is applied to a group, the Create 1 workout per athlete option decides whether it is duplicated.

Option

What happens

On

Each athlete gets their own copy of the workout. Ideal if you plan to adapt it athlete by athlete afterwards.

Off

A single shared workout is created. If you change it, the change applies to every athlete concerned: you can no longer individualise.

📌 Good to know

This choice is made at creation. If you expect to adjust the workout for some athletes, turn Create 1 workout per athlete on from the start.


4. Duration and distance being recalculated

When you apply a structured workout to several athletes, Nolio recalculates its overall duration and distance from each athlete's reference values (maximal aerobic speed, FTP…). The workout is the same, but the volume shown changes from one athlete to the next.

For example: a workout that comes to 8.67 km for one athlete will show as 7.42 km for another, because the target paces are not the same.

Freezing the duration and the distance

To stop the overall volume from moving, turn off Force workout duration and Force the distance of the workout in the builder options.

Inside the workout, the intensity targets stay adapted to each athlete: only the total shown is frozen.

📌 Good to know

This setting belongs to each workout. There is no global preference: you set it again on every workout where you want to freeze the volume.
