Short answers to the things coaches and athletes ask most.
New businesses may need a quick approval from Threshr before adding athletes — you'll see a note at the top of your calendar while you wait.
Coaches land on Today. It lists only the athletes who need something from you, most urgent first:
Tap a group at the top to see just that. Done for today hides an athlete on your device until something new comes up. Everyone else is listed under On track.
Open Threshr in your phone's browser (or add it to your home screen). You get a bottom bar with Today, Calendar and Messages, and Athletes opens your list. Each week shows day by day, top to bottom. Tap a session to edit it, as on a computer.
Everyone picks their own. Coaches: Units at the bottom of the sidebar. Athletes: Profile → Units. Distances, paces (min/mi) and speeds (mph) change. What a coach types in a session description stays as they wrote it. Threshr saves everything in kilometres, so a coach in km and an athlete in miles see the same session.
For a whole group, use a squad link (Team → Athletes → Squad link). Pick a team if you like, create the link and drop it in the group chat or your bio. Everyone who opens it makes an account and lands on your list — in that team, with its coach — with your intake questions waiting in their app. You get a notification for each person. Squad links work for 30 days; make a new one any time.
Set each athlete's paces from the pace chip on their week — every pace target is built from them. Change the intake questions under Team → Intake.
Put athletes in a team under Team → Teams. Plan one athlete's week or block, then click Copy to team. Pace targets are scaled to each athlete's own paces, heart rate to their max HR, and power stays as % of FTP. Choose whether to replace sessions they already have and whether to publish straight away.
Click Message a squad on Today, or Squad on Messages. Pick a team (or everyone you coach), write it once, send. Each athlete gets it in their own chat with you, with a notification. Their replies come back to you alone, not to the whole group.
Buyers choose the Monday they start and pay by card. The weeks then appear in their Training tab, already published, and they join your athlete list under the coach you chose. You get a notification.
Athletes who already pay you for ongoing coaching don't see ready-made plans — you write their plan yourself.
Changing the plan later doesn't affect people who have already bought it. Buyers count as athletes on your Threshr bill while they're on your list, so remove them under Team when they finish.
Each morning athletes see a Morning check on Today. They copy resting HR, HRV and hours of sleep from their watch or ring app, then rate how they slept. It takes about 20 seconds, and they can skip anything they don't track.
After four mornings Threshr knows their usual range. It flags a resting HR 5 or more above usual, HRV 15% or more below usual, or under 6 hours' sleep. Flags show on Today and in the week header. Click the header chip to see 4-week trends. Automatic import from watches comes with the watch connection.
Garmin Connect and Strava exports work the same way, and so does any CSV with date, title, sport and distance or duration columns.
Your data is never locked in. Team → Export downloads an athlete's sessions (planned and done) as a spreadsheet, and Export everyone does your whole list. Athletes can do the same from Profile → Your data.
Athletes rate a session in one tap (3 easy → 10 all out) from the session or from Today, and can add legs, pain and a note if they want. Coaches see ratings on Today under Latest sessions and react with 👏 🔥 💪 🎯 ❤️. The athlete sees the reaction on the session and gets a notification.
Every finished session gets a load score, based on how long and how hard it was against the athlete's own paces, power or heart rate (or their effort rating if that's all there is). Fitness is the six-week average, fatigue the one-week average, and form the gap between them. Coaches see it under Block; athletes see it on Progress. Each day on the calendar is coloured by how closely it matched the plan: within 20%, 20–50% off, more than 50% off, or missed.
From Monday to Wednesday, athletes see last week on Today: distance, sessions, hours, longest run, their streak of weeks hitting the plan, and how many sessions their coach reacted to. Share makes a picture for Instagram or Strava that says who coached them. Your year is a free year in review, with its own share card.
Threshr works as an app without an app store. On iPhone, open it in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. On Android or in Chrome/Edge on a computer, tap Install when Threshr offers it (Today or Profile), or use the browser menu → Install. It opens full screen, shows notifications, and opens your last-seen plan when you have no signal.
Paying your coaches. Athletes pay the business, not individual coaches, and Threshr never pays coaches or takes a cut. Head coaches see a By coach table on Payments — athletes, subscribers and what each coach's athletes paid in the last 30 days — so you can pay your coaches however you already do.
Open the invite link your coach sent, create an account with your email, and tap Join. Your coach's questions come first, then your plan. No link? Ask your coach — you can also paste the link on the "I'm an athlete" screen.
If your coach takes payments in Threshr, their packages are on the Coach tab. Tap Subscribe or Pay to pay by card on Stripe's secure page — Threshr never sees your card. Under Your coaching you can update your card, get receipts, or cancel; a cancelled subscription runs to the end of what you've paid for. Leaving your coach's business or deleting your account cancels it too.
Going on holiday, away for work or sick? Tap Book time off on Today (or Profile → Time off), pick the type and dates, add a note if you like, and book it. Your coach gets a message straight away, the days show as time off on their calendar, and their Today screen flags any sessions planned in those days so they can move them. You can cancel it the same way.
Profile → Training in your calendar → Add my plan to my calendar. Then tap Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook. Sessions show as all-day events and update when your coach changes the plan. Calendar apps check every hour or so, and Google can take longer.
Keep the link to yourself. If it gets out, Make a new link switches the old one off.
Threshr emails you — and, if you turn it on, notifies your phone — when your coach publishes or changes your training, when you get a message, and if a payment fails. Phones also get reactions (athletes), plus check-ins, time off and race results (coaches). You can turn on email for these too. Nothing is sent about things you've already seen in the app. Choose what you get under Account → Notifications, or use the link at the bottom of any email.
Because Threshr holds athletes' health information, coaches can add a code from an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password…) to their sign-in: Account → Two-step sign-in → Set up, scan the code and enter the 6 digits. Head coaches can require it for every coach in the business. Lost your phone? Ask Threshr support to reset it.
Each coach login works on one device at a time — signing in somewhere else signs the other device out.
