The dials

Saturday does the sports-science math. This section covers the model underneath it, so you can read an athlete’s plan, change it deliberately, and answer their questions yourself. To see a live one, open an athlete from your roster.

How Saturday turns targets into bottles

Saturday calculates an athlete’s per-hour targets for carbohydrate, sodium and fluid from their profile and the session ahead. It then maps those targets onto the bottles and flasks the athlete carries, producing a bottle-by-bottle, hour-by-hour plan. Three dials shape that mapping, and they all live in one object called the Setup.

Bottling: fill & mix

How targets become real bottles.

Gluc:fruc ratio

Which sugars make up the carbohydrate.

Eco-mode vs products

How far to lean on the kitchen versus branded products.

The Setup

Where all three live, and how you adjust them.

The short version

A dial changes how a target is met. It does not change the target itself; the per-hour carbohydrate, sodium and fluid numbers come from the athlete’s profile and the session.
