Set up a step

Set the duration, type, intensity targets and comment of a step in a structured workout.

Written by Romain Malbreil

A step is a block of work or recovery within a structured workout. You add it from the Add button in the builder, and it defines precisely what your athlete has to do, for how long and at what intensity.


1. The step summary

The Summary section holds the main settings.

Duration

Set a duration (minutes, seconds) or a distance, depending on the sport. You can change it at any time.

Step type

The Type field states the nature of the step: warm-up, work, recovery. This field is informational — it makes the workout easier to read.


2. Setting intensity targets

The main target

Every step carries a main target, which is its intensity goal:

  • a heart rate zone;

  • a power zone;

  • a pace zone;

  • a specific metric;

  • or an RPE.

Adding an extra target

Through Add a target, you can layer one or more secondary targets. This lets you, for instance:

  • combine power and cadence;

  • pair a heart rate zone with a pace;

  • give several intensity markers on the same block.


3. Adding a comment

The Comment section lets you pass on instructions: technical cues, breathing guidance, things to watch out for, qualitative goals.

📌 Good to know

The comment shows up directly on your athlete's workout. Keep it for what helps them during the effort, not for your own coaching notes.
