The dials

Saturday does the fueling 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.
