The Athlete's Training Hub: Complete User Guide

This template is built on five core databases that talk to each other, creating a powerful ecosystem for your athletic life. The key to its power is relations—the links between these databases.

1. Getting Started & Initial Setup

Your First 10 Minutes:

1. Duplicate the Template: Click the "Duplicate" button in the top-right corner of the template page. It will now be in your own Notion workspace.
2. Explore the Structure: Familiarize yourself with the left-hand sidebar. You have a main Dashboard and dedicated pages for each core function: Run Log, Gear Tracker, Race Calendar, Training Planner, and Meal Planner.
3. Personalize Your Dashboard: The main dashboard is your command center. You can change the cover image or add your name to the header to make it your own.

Crucial One-Time Setup:

• Shoe Tracker: This is your first priority.
  1. Go to the Shoe Tracker page.
  2. For each pair of shoes you own, click + New.
  3. Fill in: Name (e.g., "Nike Pegasus 39"), Purchase Date, Initial Cost, and most importantly, Life ****Span (e.g., 300 or 500 miles).
  4. This setup is required for the automatic mileage tracking to work.
• Upcoming Events:
  1. Go to the Upcoming Events page.
  2. Add your target races for the season. Click + New Event.
  3. Fill in: Race Name, Date, Location, Goal Time, and set a Priority (A, B, or C race). This focuses your training.

2. How to Use: The Daily & Weekly Workflow

A. Logging Your Runs (🏃 Run Log)

This is your most common action. Do this after every run.

1. Quick Entry: On the main dashboard, find the "Quick Actions" section and click the ✅ Log Today's Run button. This is the fastest method.
2. Fill in the Details:
   • Name: A descriptive title ("Evening Trail Run," "Morning Intervals").
   • Distance (mi) and Time (min): Enter Distance then enter Time in hh:mm:ss format. The Pace (min/mi) is automatically calculated for you.
   • Type: Classify your run (Easy, Long, Speed, etc.). This allows for color-coding and filtering later.
   • Shoes (Relation): This is critical. Select the pair you wore. This single action automatically updates the mileage count in your Gear Tracker.
   • Effort (RPE) and Feel: Your subjective feedback is gold. Was it a struggle (😕 Poor) despite an easy pace? This helps identify fatigue or illness.
   • Related Race (Relation): If this run was for a specific event, link it here to build a story around your goal.

B. Managing Your Gear (👟 Gear Tracker)

You've already set it up. Now it works automatically.

• After logging runs, just glance at the Gear Tracker section on your dashboard.
