Your football code now shapes your plan. Soccer gets its own pre-season hard running sessions, with turns and cuts. Rugby league and union share theirs: shorter efforts, some with get-ups and starts from the ground. The minutes of running stay the same, and Aussie rules sessions are unchanged. Rugby league and union plans change when you update, with nothing for you to do. Your running aims a little lower, and neck and shoulder strength work is added where your session length has room. The work does not coach tackling or contact technique. Adding your position fine-tunes both. Tell the app where you play. Setup now asks for your position, and you can change it under Your game in Settings. If you have not chosen one, a card on Today asks. Your position sets how much running your plan aims for, mostly in the off-season and pre-season, and in the rugby codes how much neck work it adds. In Aussie rules it changes nothing until you pick one other than midfield or wing. When your code or position means less running in a week, Worth knowing on the Season tab says how many minutes and why. For goalkeepers it says the plan does not program the keeping itself. Their plan is the strength, robustness and running work around it. Room for a run when your week has none. With no club training and no running day, one lift a week now ends with a run. Before round 1, on one or two days a week, it is 10 to 20 minutes of steady running. From round 1 through finals it is 10 minutes easy, unless your games already use all the running your body can absorb. The lifting gives up a few sets where it needs to, so the session still fits. When your sessions are too short for a run, Worth knowing says so, and any easy run you fit in yourself counts. Longer sessions are suggested only where they help. When a week comes in under the useful minimum for some lifting, the note now works out from your own week whether longer sessions would close the gap. Exercises come at reps that suit them. A bodyweight squat or a glute bridge is no longer set at three to five reps like a heavy barbell lift, and the swap list shows the reps beside any option that would change them. Holds and carries are timed. Planks, wall sits, carries and similar holds are set and logged in seconds, and your best and last times count only sets logged that way. A current knee means no squats. If you have told the app about a knee problem that is current, every squat is out of your plan, bodyweight squats included, and the session tells you why. Your running carries into pre-season. Your off-season running base no longer drops back to the start, and when a late pre-season week has room for a long run or a speed session, it keeps the long run. A fuller second lift for new lifters. A beginner's second lift is now a full session, with a spread of movements at one set each, and second sets arrive over the first few weeks of each phase. When your season ends, the app takes you to next season's dates. Round 1 moves on a year, your rounds and finals carry over, and your new plan opens with a post-season reset. Everything you logged is kept, along with your other answers and the exercises you swapped. Your first session is today or later. If you set up partway through a week, the arrival screen and Today offer the same session, and on the free tier it is the one you can start. Your check-in reaches the Season tab. Opening today from Season gives you the same lighter or recovery session that Today shows. Setup now asks that you are 13 or older. Wording that matches your week. The bye week, finals taper, empty week and under-18 notes, the goals question, the questions about you and several session descriptions now say only what your own plan does. A logged run shows its minutes, and a check-in on a day with no session says so. Height and weight are quicker to set. During setup they are now a pair of wheels, so any height and weight is a short scroll away.
