# Check-ins and Notes

Training context is useful when it stays attached to the day it describes. Calendar keeps self check-ins, optional measurements, availability and free-form notes beside planned and completed work.

## Record how you feel

Save readiness, sleep, energy, muscle comfort, stress and mood without requiring every field or reducing the result to one mandatory score.

## Add supported measurements

Optional HRV, resting heart rate and body mass can stay attached to the same athlete-local day as the subjective check-in.

## Keep a free-form note

Add something worth remembering, choose its calendar color and move or edit the note later as the plan develops.

## Preserve the weekly context

Check-ins, notes and availability remain visible around workouts and events, so the reason a week changed does not live in a separate tool.

## Self check-in

The editor groups subjective factors, optional measurements and the athlete's own note in one dated form.

## Free-form note

The note editor keeps a dated memory lightweight while preserving color, move and edit actions.
