# Manage athletes

> Invite runners and organize your roster.

## Invite athletes

Send an invite by email from the **Athletes** page. Once an athlete accepts, their
activities and plan appear in your console.

## Organize your roster

Group athletes into squads or sub-groups to assign plans and review progress in
bulk.

## The Athletes roster

The Athletes list view shows each runner as a row with the following columns:

* **Athlete** — profile image, or the athlete's first initial when no image is set.
* **Recent activity** — latest logged workout.
* **Distance** — running distance for the current window.
* **Load** — training load for the current window.
* **Next race** — the athlete's next major race, if one is scheduled.
* **Active training** — the athlete's currently active plan. If they have more than one active plan, the extra count appears below the plan name. If they have no active plan, an **Assign Training Plan** button appears in the cell so you can assign one without opening the profile.
* **Assigned coach** — the coach responsible for the athlete. Head coaches can click this cell to assign, replace, or unassign the coach.
* **Actions** — per-row quick actions (see below).

## Per-row quick actions

Each roster row exposes three actions on the right:

* **Chat** — open a direct message with the athlete.
* **Calendar** — jump straight to the athlete's calendar.
* **More actions** — a menu with the rest of the athlete controls, including group membership, view profile, and remove athlete.

## Assign a plan

You have two ways to assign a training plan:

* From the **Athletes** roster, click **Assign Training Plan** in the Active training column for any athlete who does not yet have an active plan.
* From an athlete's profile, assign an individual training plan or add them to a
  [group plan](/coaches/group-plans).

## Edit a personal plan's description

Open a personal training plan and click the **More actions** (**⋯**) button next
to the plan name. Choose **Edit description** to update the summary shown under
the plan name, then click **Save**. The updated description is saved through the
same plan update path as rename and archive.

<Note>
  Removing an athlete from your roster also removes their scheduled sessions tied
  to your plans. Their personal account and history stay intact.
</Note>

## Lock a week on an individual plan

You can lock a specific week on an athlete's individual training plan to signal
that the week is final. Open the plan calendar and use the lock control on the
week header to lock or unlock.

* A locked week shows a lock icon on the athlete's mobile calendar for that
  week.
* Unlocking a week sends the athlete a push notification. Locking is silent.
* The athlete's mobile app refreshes the plan automatically. Foregrounded apps
  update within seconds; on iOS a backgrounded app may not update until it is
  opened again.

Group plan weeks are locked from the group plan itself. See
[Lock a week](/coaches/group-plans#lock-a-week) under Group plans.
