How to use the template

Log the completed session promptly and review the week

A consistent, concise log helps you compare weeks without writing a long description for every session.

  1. Plan the four daily time slots

    Add the programme to morning, late morning, afternoon or evening using the same daily structure as Champions Corner.

  2. Log the completed event and exercises

    Record completed content at event and exercise level. The planned programme and completed training remain side by side for review.

  3. Rate exertion and discuss the week

    Enter duration, exertion from 0 to 10 and training feeling from 1 to 5. Athlete review, a question for the coach and coach feedback complete the week.

What the fields mean

A lightweight structure for observing training and recovery

The template is a logging aid. It does not make coaching or medical decisions for you.

Exertion (RPE) 0–10

Exertion is your own rating of session effort on the Champions Corner scale: 0 means rest and 10 means maximal effort.

Training load

Excel calculates a simple load score by multiplying duration in minutes by the session RPE rating.

Training feeling 1–5

Training feeling is a brief self-rating of the completed session. One means poor and five means excellent.

Programme, completion and feedback

Programme and completed training stay side by side. A comment field, athlete review and coach feedback support shared review.

Excel template features

Ready-made formulas and checked input fields make logging faster

The XLSX template creates dates from the week start, uses the product's four daily time slots and keeps planned and completed training together. You can inspect the formulas and save the file under your own name.

  • Four daily time slots

    Twenty-eight rows cover morning, late morning, afternoon and evening for every day of the week.

  • Input validation

    Duration accepts the product's 0–285 minute range, exertion accepts 0–10 and training feeling accepts 1–5.

  • Weekly summary

    Planned and completed counts, total duration, average exertion and feeling, and training load update automatically.

Safe use

The template supports observation – it does not replace professional assessment

Stop exercising if it causes pain. If you are unsure whether training is suitable for you, speak with a coach or healthcare professional.
