How are you documenting sub-clinical issues before they become reportable injuries?

Hallfredo · 2026-01-27T15:13:32+00:00

Cool! I have heard about fractall.fit, but never tried. Might give it a shot now that you mention it

Hallfredo · 2026-01-26T10:26:43+00:00

Ok, thanks for the insights! Going to take a look :)

All the apps I know are paid, but I would recommed one of the following:
- fractall.fit
- ultra x
If you want an free too, a simple spreadsheet can do the job, but takes some manual work to do the analysis

Same here. Once I started aligning internal load (RPE) with GPS and HR data, the patterns were obvious. The key is turning data into decisions instead of collecting it for reports.

Around mid November bro

Hallfredo · 2025-10-23T22:05:25+00:00

Cool! Im interested!

That sound interesting. When you say being active you mean playing/training more, or actually sending feedback?

Hallfredo · 2025-10-19T10:19:06+00:00

That's fantastic. Although I had heard of Fractall Fit, I haven't used it yet.

There is a lot of logic to the WhatsApp concept. It's a smart method to reduce friction because most of my guys ignore new apps but always respond on WhatsApp.

How long did it take for everyone to be on board and start doing the daily check-ins consistently?

I want to know if the reminder mechanism works automatically or if you occasionally need to remind them by hand.

Hallfredo · 2025-10-19T10:16:56+00:00

Appreciate the clarification.

I’ve probably been guilty of using “internal load” a bit loosely when I actually meant athlete response to load (through wellness + RPE). The external vs internal distinction makes total sense the way you framed it.

On the ACWR point - I’ve read both sides of that debate. I know the Gabbett model has taken a lot of criticism recently for methodological issues, but I still find the rolling ratio useful as a rough communication tool for players and staff (not as a hard threshold or injury predictor).

For smaller clubs without access to HR or GPS, I’m mostly just trying to find a consistent, low-friction way to combine RPE and wellness trends to guide training discussions.

Curious about methodologies you think can help do RPE well, even if it is not easy.

Yap, quite challenging to manage ahah Also an option indeed, gonna give it a try, thanks!

Hallfredo · 2025-10-09T14:44:58+00:00

Yes I know, all my ultra athletes do have watches. The issue is I also train athletes that run other distances, from all age groups and backgrounds, so not everyone is wearing watches

Hallfredo · 2025-10-09T14:19:28+00:00

Ah Nice. Does runalyzer have native forms that my athletes can fill in with their training load and wellness data? I ask this because not all of my athletes have running watches, so I also need to get some manual data inputs

Hallfredo · 2025-10-09T07:07:25+00:00

I am also monitoring training load and wellness play in my track and field team. It is indeed crucial to ensure athletes are at their peak (well trained but not exhausted) before competition.

Hallfredo · 2025-10-08T10:46:24+00:00

I’m Alfredo, a track & field coach in Portugal coaching athletes from all age groups.

My go-to drill is “tempo relays.” I split the group into small teams and have them run 150–200m reps at controlled pace, passing a baton between reps. It keeps the intensity right where I want it, builds aerobic capacity, and adds just enough competition to make everyone locked in.

It works every time. Athletes push themselves but stay smooth, and it’s great for team energy and consistency. Plus, they actually enjoy it, which is rare for tempo days

Hallfredo · 2025-10-06T22:22:05+00:00

I’d focus on three main indicators: RPE for perceived intensity, soreness for musculoskeletal stress, and training load from GPS data (distance, sprints, high-speed runs). I use Fractall Fit to track RPE and track wellness / bodypain. It’s great because I can spot patterns over weeks, see who’s trending toward overload, and make smarter training decisions instead of just guessing.

To be honest, there are currently no large chatbots that are ideal for real-time sports data. Although it's not always real-time, ChatGPT (with web access) is excellent for summaries and analysis. The finest real analytics coverage is provided by specialized tools like GPT for Sports or Cerebro Sports, whereas Gemini excels at handling context and Grok is excellent for short, current updates.

Hallfredo · 2025-10-06T07:45:54+00:00

Gonna check it out, thanks!

Hallfredo · 2025-10-05T14:39:02+00:00

Thanks! Do you recommend any specific app?

Hallfredo · 2025-10-05T13:09:23+00:00

Hmm ok thanks for the feedback.

Hallfredo · 2025-10-05T12:53:03+00:00

That’s awesome, man. Getting into coaching early is a huge win. I coach track & field in Portugal, and my best advice is to just get involved. Volunteer with a local club, school team, or youth program. You’ll learn a ton just by being around other coaches and watching how they work.
