Logging daily wellness

What this is

/my-wellness/ is a short daily form. It takes 30 seconds and produces the single most informative signal your coach has about how you are absorbing training. One entry per day; you can fill in whichever fields you have data for and skip the rest.

Before your first entry: turn wellness logging on

Wellness is health data, so Grepiac only stores it once you switch on Store wellness & health logs on your Privacy & consent page. Until then, /my-wellness/ shows a short explanation instead of the form. Whether your coach can see what you log is a separate switch on the same page — see Managing your privacy and consent.

What you can log (all fields optional)

Sleep:

• Sleep hours (e.g. 7.5).
• Sleep quality on a 1 to 10 scale (1 = terrible, 10 = perfect).

Recovery markers (mostly from a wearable, if you have one):

• HRV in milliseconds (RMSSD).
• Resting HR this morning, in bpm.
• Body battery on a Grepiac-normalized 1 to 5 scale (if you track Garmin Body Battery, which runs 0 to 100, map it down to this 1 to 5 range).

Subjective state (each on a 1 to 10 scale):

• Stress (1 = relaxed, 10 = very stressed).
• Soreness (1 = none, 10 = significant pain).
• Mood (1 = low, 10 = great).
• Motivation (1 = no drive, 10 = eager to train).

Lifestyle context:

• Travel flag (timezone disruption yesterday or today).
• Alcohol drinks yesterday (count, 0 if none).
• Illness flag plus a short note if applicable.

Menstrual cycle (optional, its own switch):

• Menstrual phase (menstrual / follicular / ovulatory / luteal / N/A).
• Cycle day (day 1 = first day of period).
• Menstrual symptoms (comma separated, e.g. cramps, headache, bloating).

This section appears only after you turn on Store menstrual-cycle data on your Privacy & consent page — it is gated by that switch, not by the sex on your profile. Sharing it with your coach is a further separate switch, and turning the storage switch off later offers a one-click erase of your past cycle entries.

What triggers a concerning flag for your coach

Grepiac automatically flags an entry as concerning when any one of these is true:

• You reported illness.
• Sleep hours below 5.
• Stress at 8 or higher.
• Soreness at 8 or higher.
• Body battery at 1 (drained).
• HRV drops by 15 percent or more compared to your recent 14-day baseline.

Multiple flags on the same entry compound priority on the coach dashboard, so the row surfaces higher in their queue.

Why your coach cares

The individual data points are noisy; the trend over a week is highly informative. A coach uses wellness to:

• Catch early signs of overload (HRV drops, sleep cut, soreness climbing).
• Spot life-stress periods that need easier training.
• Confirm that hard blocks were absorbed (wellness recovers in a week).
• Differentiate "bad workout because of fitness" from "bad workout because of life".

How often

Five to seven days a week is ideal. Three to four is still useful. Less than three loses the trend signal.

Where the data shows up

• Your athlete dashboard updates the wellness snapshot.
• If you have shared wellness with your coach, their dashboard shows your trend on your row, with the concerning-flag indicator when triggered — and concerning entries notify them.
• If you haven't shared, your coach sees a "not shared" marker instead, and no wellness notifications are sent to them.

Privacy

What your coach (and assistant coaches) can see is controlled by two switches on your Privacy & consent page: Share wellness with my coach and, separately, Share menstrual data with my coach. Neither is on by default. Wellness is never visible to other athletes. Full details: Managing your privacy and consent and What your coach can see.
