Teams & Coaches
Teams on Stride#
Teams are shared workspaces where coaches manage groups of athletes in one place. Any Stride user can become a coach and create multiple teams for different squads, clubs or programmes.
Getting started as a coach#
- Sign up or log in. Create your Stride account. Any user can set themselves up as a coach.
- Go to the Teams area. Open the Account section, then select Teams.
- Create your team. Add a team name (e.g. "Thighs Club" or "Alex Dowsett Coaching"), a short description, and a logo or avatar.
- Invite athletes. Once created, you'll get a unique invite link. Share it by email, group chat or your coaching platform. Athletes click the link, create or log into a Stride account, and join your team automatically.
Roles and privacy#
Coaches can see all athlete data and activities, create and assign plans and workouts, use team dashboards and analytics, and manage team settings, billing and membership.
Athletes can see and complete their own workouts and plans, view their own progress, and receive team announcements.
Athletes cannot see each other's activities or personal data. Only coaches and designated admins have cross-athlete visibility.
Training tools#
Plans and AI planning. Build custom plans for the whole team or individual athletes, use Stride's AI assistant to design and adapt plans around events and availability, and set team-wide training blocks (base, build, race) with per-athlete fine-tuning. Plans can be assigned to the entire team, selected groups (e.g. "Race squad"), or individuals.
Workout library. Build a shared library of interval sessions and testing protocols. Organise by type, intensity or phase, and drag and drop sessions onto athlete calendars.
Team dashboard and analytics. Get a high-level view of how everyone is doing:
- Who is completing assigned workouts
- How Load and Fatigue are trending across the squad
- Recent activities and upcoming key sessions
- Performance trends over the season
Click into any athlete for a deeper look at their data, plans and session compliance. Each athlete's activity detail page gives a full breakdown of their sessions.
Managing multiple teams#
Run multiple teams from one coach account, whether that's different squads (elite, development, masters), disciplines (road, gravel, time trial), or seasonal programmes and training camps. Clear naming keeps large setups organised while each athlete still has their own individual calendar and plan.
Billing#
Teams are currently free with no limits on the number of teams or athletes. Pricing will be introduced later, designed to scale with coaching businesses and clubs of different sizes.
Coach workflow tips#
Start with one team and a small group of athletes to build your workflow. Create a core workout library and a few standard plans you can adapt. Use team announcements and comments to set expectations, and check the dashboard regularly to monitor Load, Fatigue and compliance.
Stride centralises athletes, plans, workouts and analysis so coaches spend less time on admin and more time on the coaching that actually moves athletes forward.
