Training Log

The daily diary of what actually happened — in your own words and your own numbers.

Record what actually happened — the same day, while it's fresh.

ForAthletes & coachesWhereWeb & mobile

Yarmill is configured per team, so the phases, data rows, extra fields, and ⋯-menu items you see may differ from this guide.

Reality is your training diary. It mirrors the Plan's structure — text on the left, numbers on the right — plus the personal details only the athlete can supply, like effort, mood, and how a session felt. It's the raw material the rest of Yarmill reads, so logging it honestly and on time is what makes your Analytics answer back.

A day in the diary

Open Reality and use the chevrons and date-range pill to move between weeks. Two tabs — Week (the working diary) and Goals — sit at the top. Each day is a card split into a text side and a data side.

Text side (left)

A rich-text box for each configured training phase — for example a daily goal, morning, and afternoon — where you describe the session in your own words. Supports bullets, highlights, emojis, and links. Phase labels are configured per team.

Data side (right)

One row per configured metric (minutes, km, reps, load, zones, shots…), laid out across the week as Mon–Sun plus a Total column. Numbers are entered manually; calculated rows — such as weekly sums and the Total column — render greyed and locked. The row set mirrors your Plan and is configured per team.

RPE (effort, 0–10)

Rate of perceived exertion on the day card, with separate AM and PM inputs. RPE is one of the extra fields the coach doesn't plan but you record yourself; whether it appears is configured per team.

The left/right structure, the Mon–Sun + Total grid, and auto-save work the same everywhere. Everything auto-saves as you type — there's no Save button, and a green "data saved" indicator confirms each entry.

Log the same day you train. Entries written a week later are guesses, and guesses degrade your analytics — that's why the logging window is limited. On the web you can backfill within a configured window (often around a week); the mobile app logs the current day only, so write it on the day.

The ⋯ menu on each day holds the extras and attachments your team configures. A typical set includes:

Notes

Free-text notes on the day.

Feeling scale

How the session or day felt.

Heart rate

A heart-rate value for the day.

Mental condition

A mood/readiness value. On some teams it also appears inline on the day card.

Attachment

Add a photo, video, or file. Attachments are also collected in Files.

Sport-specific log

For example a training shooting log for biathlon, which feeds the shooting analyses.

Import plan

Copy the planned day into Reality (see below).

Wellness questionnaire

A daily self-report that feeds the team's readiness picture. See Wellness questionnaire.

The exact contents vary per instance, so treat this as an example rather than a fixed list.

Import plan

Import plan copies the planned day — text and numbers — into Reality with one click, ready for you to edit into what really happened. It's the quick way to log a complex session without re-keying it.

Import plan is configured per team: it can be switched off, and it has a days-back limit. Some federations turn it off deliberately, preferring athletes describe training in their own words.

Watch data

If you've connected a device, recorded activities — and sleep and recovery, if you wear it at night — appear automatically under the day. Beneath the RPE AM/PM controls, a sleep & recovery block shows what the device measured. You see this block on your own day card; coaches see it when reading your week.

The metrics are read directly from the device, and the exact set depends on the connected brand. Typical fields:

Sleep

Total sleep time, with bedtime, wake time, and sleep sub-metrics.

Resting HR

Your resting heart rate for the night.

HRV

Heart-rate variability.

Recovery metric (brand-specific)

An Oura device surfaces a Readiness score; a WHOOP device surfaces a Recovery %.

Device

A label showing which wearable the data came from.

Connected-device data is read-only inside Yarmill — to change or delete it, use the provider's app. Watch data complements the diary; it doesn't replace filling in the text and data sides, and the manual numbers are still what your coach analyses.

What athletes see

You own your own Reality. You see only your own diary — no group selector or athlete list — and you fill the text side, the data side, the extra fields, and the ⋯-menu extras yourself. You can't edit the coach's Plan, and you can't change imported device data inside Yarmill.

On mobile you log the current day; richer backfill and some extras live on the web. To self-log an extra — wellness, a feeling scale, an attachment — open the day's ⋯ menu, pick the item, and fill it inline; it auto-saves.

Coaches in Reality

Coaches open a group and select an athlete from the left sidebar list to read that person's diary day by day and compare it against the plan. Reality is per athlete — you pick a person, not the whole group.

With write permission, a coach can comment on a note, attach video, or log entries on the athlete's behalf. Whether a coach can write is permission-gated and configured per team. For squads that don't self-log, a coach can also fill Reality from Attendance — but only for present athletes, and never for athletes who keep their own diary.

How it connects

Reality is the primary input the rest of Yarmill reads:

Import plan and the shared left/right structure let you compare what happened against the Plan directly.
Attendance can copy the planned week into Reality for athletes marked present that day.
Connected wearables import activities and sleep/recovery into the day. See device connections.
Every Reality attachment is collected in Files with tags and a date that jumps back to its place in the log.
Analytics reads Reality for training-load and ACWR trends, recovery and wellness indicators, the coach Weekly Dashboard, and the season review.
