Slek: the app for triathlon

Triathlon is about as complete a sport as you can find, and about as demanding. Between swimming, cycling and running you have to juggle the training and manage the recovery. That is where a planning and analysis app earns its place, as a real asset in your preparation and your training records.

Slek is the app you need, and this article explains why.

Planning that fits you, to give your training structure

No more improvising. With Slek you can plan your training in detail.

As a triathlete you probably stack up workouts through the week, sometimes several in a day. So it matters that you can plan them not just on a day but on a slot within that day (early, morning, midday, afternoon or evening). If you have a heavy running workout on Tuesday afternoon, for instance, your coach can put your pool session on Monday morning instead, so that you turn up fresh for the hard one the next day.

Planning in Slek is precise, simple and visual.

Telling your coach when you are available

Lots of workouts means a very full diary. To fit them all in, you can tell your coach when you are free. They can then slot the swimming, cycling and running in intelligently, taking account of your constraints and of the rest you need.

Analysis of your workouts by discipline

In Slek you can analyse a workout or a period across all your sports, or narrow the analysis down to one of the three triathlon disciplines.

In your calendar you get a summary of your sporting week by sport at a glance.

Some charts also make it easy to see how your efforts and your performances are spread across the disciplines.

Software built by a triathlon enthusiast and tested by triathletes

Triathlon is where Slek came from: with three endurance sports running in parallel, the need to organise and structure your training makes itself felt fast. From the very beginning of the project, experienced triathletes helped Slek move forward by telling us what they needed and reporting back on how they used it.

In triathlon, discipline and organisation are essential if you want to improve without getting injured. Slek gives you a clear view of your training and smooths out the relationship between athlete and coach, so that planning takes as little effort as possible.

So put the spreadsheets away, and take up a technical approach that will move your triathlon on a level.
