Did they do the plan you wrote?

You plan the week on Sunday night. By Wednesday you’re scrolling activity feeds to find out who did it. Smagpie checks every session against the one you prescribed and shows you who’s on plan, who’s off, and where. Free coach account. No seat fees.

Reading a workout: did they run what you asked, step by step?

The question every coach carries

Did the plan become the training?

Not “did they train.” Did Tuesday’s intervals hit the targets you set? Did the recovery ride stay easy? Did the long run come in at the distance you planned, or a big step past it? Smagpie answers that for every athlete and every session.

Coaching yourself? A coach of one counts: assigning workouts to yourself is free.

One week toward a 70.3

Swim, bike, run and the gym, for the athletes you coach one-on-one. A marathon or a gran fondo works the same way.

  1. 1 You plan it

    Plan Sunday night in minutes.

    Write a session once as a percent of FTP, threshold pace or heart rate, and every athlete gets it in their own numbers. Lay out the block week by week, swim, bike, run and strength, then assign it to a group, or a group of one.

    Start from 450+ structured workouts from 80/20 Endurance, or describe a session in plain English and get an AI draft in your editor. Five drafts a month are free, and nothing saves until you say so.

    Scaled targets come with an Athlete Pass. Applying a whole plan is a Team Premium feature.

    The plan editor's Phases panel (Base, Peak, Taper with week ranges) above a week-by-day grid, Sunday through Saturday, with stacked sport-color-coded workout cards on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and an add-workout affordance on every cell.
  2. 2 They do it

    Their watch, their trainer, or their phone.

    Structured sessions go to Garmin or COROS with a target for every step. Indoor rides reach Zwift and Rouvy through Intervals.icu. Strength days run in the Session Tracker, set by set, against your prescription.

    Your note travels with the workout, and when they finish, the session comes back to you on its own.

    Watch push and the Session Tracker come with an Athlete Pass.

    An athlete's Tuesday swim workout with a purple plan-dot indicator top-right, a blue COACH note ('Swim CT day, recovery week') below the workout metadata, and an open plan-context popover reading '10K Plan - 80/20 Level 2, Week 9 of 12' above Wednesday's run workout.
  3. 3 You see it

    Wednesday, you know who did what you asked.

    Every completed session is checked against the one you planned: green when the load matched, yellow when it drifted, red when it was well off. The Coach Hub adds an arrow when a ride came back much harder or easier than prescribed.

    Open any workout and your targets sit over their pace, rep by rep, so you can see whether interval four faded or the warm-up ran hot. Strength shows every set against the prescription.

    A completed run's chart with Workout Target on: the athlete's pace line over grey target boxes for each step, a long warm-up followed by a set of short repeats, with recovery steps tinted between them.
  4. 4 You tune it

    Then you move Thursday.

    Forecast changed? Drag Saturday's long ride to Sunday and the whole group moves with it. One athlete's knee is talking? Give just them a different session, and reply to their note right on the workout.

    You decide what counts as on plan: your own tolerances for load and intensity, set once for your team.

    The athlete's feel and notes on a workout: effort 9 out of 10, felt Bad, and the note "Ankle hurt for the 5th set and had to stop," with the coach typing a reply: "Let's switch out tomorrow to time on the spin bike and see the trainer."

…and Sunday you plan the next one. That’s the loop.

Your A-race shows up in every week.

Create the race, give it an A, B or C priority, and attach the athletes racing it. Every week on your schedule shows how far away it is. A training plan counts back from race day, with base, build, peak and taper laid out for that athlete.

Building a plan is free. Applying it is Team Premium, $99 a year.

The Apply Plan wizard's Target & Anchor step: an athlete target, the three anchor modes (Race Date, Start Date, End Date) with Race Date selected, a race date field, and a note showing the computed back-count and which workouts will be scheduled.

Same training intelligence. Fewer seat fees.

The honest migration story

We won’t pretend switching is painless. Here’s exactly what comes over and what doesn’t — so you can decide with open eyes.

What comes with you

  • Workout library (.fit file import)
  • Structured workout templates
  • Athlete roster and contact info
  • Zone settings and threshold data
  • Historical activity files

What builds fresh

  • Longitudinal coaching relationship (notes, patterns, context)
  • Platform-specific analytics and reports
  • Compliance history and load trends
  • Social interactions and athlete feedback

Bring your workout library. Build the rest as you go. Your coaching knowledge doesn’t live in a platform — it lives in you.

And while you import yours, you’re not starting empty. 450+ structured endurance workouts from 80/20 Endurance — running, cycling, and swimming — are on by default for every Smagpie coach. Plan your first week without rebuilding a thing. Read about the partnership →
