New updates and improvements to Training Tilt

  1. Select Multiple Chart Ranges

    New Feature
    Improvement
    Announcement
    Coach Feature
    Athlete Feature

    You can now select multiple ranges in a workout chart to compare in the laps table.

    We've added a set of switches to control how you want to interact with the workout charts.

    Changes

    The combined stream chart is now hidden by default. This will make the page load faster and improve performance while navigating the charts. You can switch this on if you want to see the streams on a single chart. You can also switch the individual stream charts on and off.

    Mouse wheel zoom is turned off by default as that can cause issues for those who use a mouse wheel to scroll up and down a page. You can switch that back on if you want to.

    The default settings on a chart are "drag to zoom" which enables you to drag a section on the chart and all the stream charts will zoom into that segment.

    You can switch to "Drag to Select" which enables you to select multiple segments on the chart and compare them in the laps table.

    When you select new segments on a streams chart, each segment will be numbered and listed in the laps table.

    You can clear the selection by switching back to "Drag to Zoom" mode, or by clicking the reset icons on the chart or in the table header.

    Improvement
    Announcement
    Coach Feature
    Athlete Feature

    We've released our new notifications feature that allows you to configure whether to receive our existing email notifications, or our new platform notifications or both types of notifications!

    New notifications are shown on the top right hand version of the web app. The count indicator is the number of new unread notifications since you last visited the notifications list

    Visiting the list will clear the new notifications count but will still show you read vs unread notifications. Unread have a white background, and read have a grey background.

    image

     

    You can right click a notification or click the three dots to mark it as read/unread or dismiss it. Dismissing it will delete the notification permanently.

    You can filter by read, unread or all notifications.

    You can use the button and options to mark all as read/unread and delete all to for those like me who like to get to inbox 0.

    image

    You can choose which notifications you get via email vs the notification list in your notification settings page from the top right hand menu.

    Currently the notifications list is only available on the web app but will soon also be available on the mobile app for both athletes and coaches.

  3. Coros Integration Now Live!

    Improvement
    Announcement
    Coach Feature
    Athlete Feature
    New Feature

    Our native Coros integration is now live!

    In case you missed it we also recently released our Suunto integration and our Wahoo Integration 

    As we did for Suunto and Wahoo the Coros integration will be in two parts, the first is to for athletes to be able to connect their device and automatically sync workouts to their account. This is live now.

    The second part will allow Coros users to send planned structured workouts so they can complete them on their device while being guided interactively.

    image

    Coming Soon

    We are now planning the Apple Watch integration. This one is a little trickier as it requires integration into the mobile app as Apple only allows access to the Apple Health data via an Apple device.

    Coming Soon

    We are also getting close to completing our Wahoo integration, again this will be in two stages, first syncing completed data, and then sending structured workouts to devices.

    Coros is also underway with the same approach. Zwift is still on the plan, but we are still waiting on Zwift to set up things on their end for us. That's a work in progress.

  6. Share Completed Activities

    Athlete Feature
    Coach Feature
    Announcement
    New Feature

    You and your athletes can now share completed activities publicly with a link. The shared activity will display your logo and link back to your website (configure your website in settings if it's different from Training Tilt).

    You can find the sharing tool in the new analytics view of any completed activity. It's perfect for showcasing your coaching expertise—talk through a workout on social media and share the link for others to see. Athletes can also share their workouts with their own networks.

    To share, just click the lock or share icon to make it public, then copy the link.

    Ability for athletes to share planned and completed workouts to help promote the coaching business

    WE plan on adding sharing tools so athletes can share planned and completed workouts with their audience via links and social media. This would help promote the coaching business. The share would include an autogenerated image of the workout with the coaches branding and contact details. We would also use this feature to promote Training Tilt so some sort of "Powered by Training Tilt" aspect would also be included. As always though the coaching business would be more prominent. This would be a configurable option that coaches on our paid plans who would prefer that their clients do not share would be able to toggle it on and off.

  7. Configurable Performance Charts

    New Feature
    Improvement
    Announcement
    Coach Feature
    Athlete Feature

    We are planning on adding a few more charts to the performance dashboard, but before we do that we wanted to ensure the dashboard is configurable to ensure it doesn't become cluttered with charts that aren't relevant to all coaches or athletes.

    Coaches and clients can now choose which charts they want to display on the performance dashboard.

    Coaches can configure their own preferred charts and they can also set a default for all clients.

    Clients will inherit the default setting unless they configure their own settings.

    To access to the chart configuration, click the cog icon on the performance dashboard.

    Select the charts you want to display.

    Drag and drop a chart to change the order

    Use the save button to save your own settings. Coaches can use the "Make Client Default" button to save this as the default setting for all clients in the system. You can also reset your own settings or the client settings back to defaults.

    Ability to configure which charts to show on performance dashboard

    As we introduce new charts to the performance dashboard it will be important for coaches and athletes to be able to decide which charts are relevant to display. Coaches should also be able to configure a default for all clients based on what they would prefer their athletes to see

  8. Choose a "Sync From Date" when syncing group coaching plans

    Improvement
    Announcement
    Coach Feature

    New group coaching feature enhancement!

    With our group coaching feature you can now make changes to the centralized group training plan and then sync changes using a specific "from date".

    How is this useful? For example if you are only giving your coaching group two weeks of training in advance prior to this feature if you wanted to allow your athletes to customize their own workouts you would then need to wait till Sunday night to sync the next two weeks otherwise you would overwrite their customizations with the sync.

    Not ideal to have to do this at the same time every week, especially on a Sunday!

    Now you can do the sync at any time by choosing a specific sync from date.

  9. Open workout view or analyze in new tab

    Improvement
    Announcement
    Coach Feature
    Athlete Feature

    As we start to phase in our new workout planned and analysis views we will start making them more prominent and easier to use.

    The first part of this is enabling a coach or athlete to open them in a new tab so they can easily compare to the planned workout or just have the calendar and the workout view open at the same time.

    You can access the new way to analyze a completed or view a planned workout in two different places. The first is the calendar item menu, and then also within an open workout.

    From an Open Workout

    From the calendar item menu

    The workout will then open inside a new tab in your browser. You can also switch between analyze and planned view from the new window using the "Analyze" or "View Planned" buttons.

  10. AI Writing Assistant For Activity Feedback

    New Feature
    Improvement
    Announcement
    Coach Feature

    Our AI Coaching Assistant can now help coaches by suggesting comments to add to completed activities or help with replies to your clients.

    The goal of the assistant in this case is not to automate comments to your clients but rather a way to speed up the process and save you from having to type all of what you wanted to say.

    The assistant is aware of the clients details including their training zones and some other specific information about their training. This enables the assistant to be more accurate when suggesting comments for you to use.

    You can and should also give the assistant specific instructions and some example comments to ensure that the suggestions are in line with your tone, your coaching principles and any specific way of structuring feedback. The more detailed instructions and examples you configure more the suggestions will align with your own style of feedback.

    IMPORTANT: If you don't customize the instructions the suggestions just won't be very good. The best way to get the best results is to add instructions and examples and then run the suggestions and see what comes out. Each round of testing you can add to the instructions explaining what you don't like and hopefully each iteration will get closer and closer to what you would have written anyway. It's worth the extra time and effort to train the assistant properly.

    The assistant is currently only available in the web version of the platform in the new activity insights view.

    There are more details on how to get to the new screens here 

    When you add a new comment, you will see a new "Suggest" button with a drop down with additional options.

    image

    Improve Action

    The simplest new feature is a way to improve the grammar, spelling or structure of a comment. This is great as you don't need to have perfect grammar or spelling or spend time editing potential mistakes, just type your comment and then use the "Improve" option to improve the content.

    Suggested Comments

    The assistant is aware of previous comments in the message thread so will suggest replies related to any specific questions your clients may have asked or address any specific feedback they have given. It will also give feedback based on the planned and completed data in the activity based on the clients training zone data.

    It is recommended that you create your own custom instructions and examples for the assistant to use to match your tone, principles and structure. But first it is a good approach to use the generate button to see what responses the assistant gives without any customization. That should give you a starting place to build your custom instructions and examples from.

    Use the "Generate" button for generate some suggestions. Don't worry the assistant will never comment for you, it will just provide suggestions and you will need to click "Save" to actually send them to your clients.

    image

    Customize Suggestions

    Initially you will notice that the comments are a little generic and lacking personality, this is where it is worth the effort to give the assistant some custom instructions and examples. You can do that from the "Customize" item from the Suggest button.

    image

    General Instructions

    You will then be able to add some general instructions on how you want the assistant to respond, what details to include, and what tone to use etc. The more context you give the better, less generic results you will get. You might need to iterate through these instructions and examples a few times before you get the results you are happy with.

    image

    To add some examples for the assistant to use, click the Add Example button. You can add as many examples as you like. It's a good idea to copy and paste some real examples from previous feedback you have given as real data will be the most effective. For each example you can add some specific instructions about the example and when might be a good situation to use it.

    Adding Examples

    You can add multiple examples. Start by clicking the add example button.

    image

    You should include some specific instructions for each example explaining the context of the example, why and when to use them. Make sure you hit the save button after adding your examples and instructions.

    image

    After adding an example, ask the assistant to generate the suggestions again and you should see a much more specific suggestion that matches more closely your example. Some extra time spent iterating and experimenting here should get some really good results.
