Training Stopwatch
About the Training Stopwatch
Training is a series of blocks - warmup, technical drills, main set, cooldown - and a training stopwatch is how you prove each block took what the plan said. Coaches who write beautiful session sheets still guess at the end whether the main set ran long; elapsed timing with laps at block boundaries turns the sheet into an audit. Athletes self-coaching use the same habit: lap at drill start and drill end, compare to last week, and progress stops being a feeling and becomes a number. The training stopwatch emphasizes session structure over race-day drama - pause between blocks so the day total accumulates, lap within blocks for repeats, and the trail after practice shows where time leaked.
How to use it
- Outline block boundaries on your session plan before athletes arrive.
- Start at official practice start; lap at each block transition.
- Within blocks, lap at each repeat or drill cycle.
- Pause between major blocks so the day total keeps growing.
- Review the lap trail against the plan before leaving the field.
Good to know
The stopwatch counts while this tab is open. A slept tab can pause or jump. For a race result you may need to keep the phone unlocked in your hand.
