Help & getting started
Everything you need to prepare your first race with Trailboard, plus answers to the most common questions.
In 5 steps
- 1
Sign in
With Google or Strava — Strava is optional and only unlocks the dashboard and training load. Everything else (agenda, training plan, nutrition, challenges) works with a Google account alone.
- 2
Add your first race
From the agenda, enter your upcoming race's name, date, distance, and elevation — or import its official GPX file directly to see the route and elevation profile.
- 3
Generate your training plan
Choose how many sessions per week (running, cycling, swimming, strength), your starting volume, and your progression: a full calendar appears, adjustable session by session or by drag-and-drop.
- 4
Prepare your nutrition
Add your gels, bars, and drinks to the catalog, then generate a fueling plan built around your route and estimated pace.
- 5
Track your progress
The dashboard shows your training load, goals, and volume — recalculated automatically on every sync if you've connected Strava.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to connect Strava?
No. Strava is optional: it powers the dashboard and training load, but the agenda, training plan, nutrition, challenges, and member directory all work with a Google account alone.
Is my data private?
Yes — each account only ever sees its own data. No feature compares or aggregates Strava activities across athletes.
Can I use my own Strava application?
Yes, from the sign-in screen or your account — useful to get your own API call quota, separate from other visitors.
How do challenges work?
Results are always entered by hand, never read automatically from Strava — that's what allows comparing results between participants without ever using Strava data.
How do I delete my account?
From "My account" → "Delete my account": immediate and permanent deletion of all your data (activities, connections, goals, challenges, favorites, agenda).
Does regenerating my training plan erase what I've already done?
No — sessions already validated (done or linked to a Strava activity) are never touched; only upcoming, unvalidated sessions are replaced.
