An own-time session is a shared training plan that each assigned person completes at their own time. Your organiser sets the training window, duration, instructions and assigned equipment. You choose your own slot. Find it in My schedule → List, under Upcoming sessions or Past sessions. The outline groups it by the week its training window starts. Open its title for instructions and the linked participants’ progress, even if you have not chosen a time yet.

​
Choose or move your time

  1. Open the session’s row actions and select Choose time.
  2. Choose a start within the training window. The duration comes from the plan; times are shown in London time.
  3. Select Save. Blades reserves your assigned equipment and adds busy time for your booking.
A suggested time is a starting point, not a reservation. Each person must confirm their own time, including when several people have been assigned the same erg or single scull. If the equipment is already booked, the change is rejected. A clash with your personal busy time produces a warning, so check whether you can train at that time. To change a booking, choose Move training from the row actions. Saving a successful move releases the old slot. If the new equipment slot conflicts, your original booking stays in place. To release a booking without choosing another slot, open Move training and select Unschedule and release equipment. Your confirmed time appears in your calendar. The crew calendar shows each participant’s confirmed time separately; the weekly outline keeps everyone linked to the shared plan.

​
Mark training complete

Use your assignment’s completion checkbox after its scheduled end time has passed. You cannot mark a future or unscheduled assignment complete, or complete another person’s training. Choose Comment from the row actions to leave an optional note. Only you and club admins or owners can read that comment. Assigned participants can see shared progress, but cannot read one another’s private notes. If you ticked the assignment by mistake, clear the checkbox to undo completion. Training instructions recorded with a completed assignment remain available if the organiser later changes the shared plan.

​
Record a different actual time

If you trained at a different time, choose Record when I did this before marking the assignment complete. Enter the actual past start and end. You can record training outside the original window. Select Without club equipment if you trained elsewhere, such as another gym; this releases the assignment’s club reservation. Save the actual time, then tick the completion checkbox. Both times must be in the past, the end must follow the start, and the recorded workout cannot exceed 24 hours. Keeping club equipment selected checks that it was available for the actual time.

​
If the plan is cancelled

Completed own-time records can remain as cancelled training history. You can still read your completed instructions and correct your completion or comment, but cannot choose a new slot for that cancelled plan. Ask your organiser for a replacement assignment if you still need to train.
