Sharing an N+One Plan With Your Real Coach: Read-Only Access Options
5 min read
Learn how to share your N+One plan with a real coach using read-only access, exports, data-scope checks, and a simple 7-day workflow.

Use a read-only share when your coach needs to view your N+One plan without editing it.
I could not find PubMed-indexed sources on product-level read-only sharing workflows, so this guide uses standard product and coaching workflow best practices. One clear next move: create a read-only share, confirm access for a short review window, then reassess.

Read-only access gives your coach a clear view of your plan while you keep the edit lever. That matters when you want outside review without two systems giving different orders.
A coach can check the same plan, notes, and recent work you see, then give feedback in context. If they need a file instead of a live view, use your N+One data export as a stable snapshot.
The main rule is simple: one person owns plan changes at a time. Read-only sharing lets your coach advise, while N+One still holds the plan you follow day to day.
Confirm the coach only needs view access.
Share the plan, not your account login.
Use a short review window for the first pass.
Keep plan edits in one place.
In N+One terms: share visibility, keep control.

A read-only share should show the plan items your coach needs, not every private note by default. Check the share screen before sending, because product settings can change over time.
Typical useful items are the current calendar, planned sessions, completed rides, notes you choose to share, and basic ride metrics. If your account spans several devices, review how device login works before you assume each feed is present.
Your coach should not be able to change the plan, push workouts, or edit hidden notes from a view-only share. If that boundary is unclear, pause and use an export until permissions are plain.
Check the preview before sending the link.
Hide notes that are not needed for review.
Confirm whether the link is live or a snapshot.
Ask the coach to report what they can see.
Confirm your coach only needs view access and which metrics they must see (workouts, training load, sleep).
Your single next move is to create the read-only share and confirm that your coach can open it. Do not send your password, and do not grant edit access for a first review.
Open your N+One plan, choose Share, then select the read-only option if it is available in your account. Choose the smallest data scope that answers the coaching question, then set a clear end date for the share window.
If you need day-to-day support after the review, use N+One as the place where the final choice is made. For context on how the plan is built, see how weekly plans become workouts.
Open your plan and choose Share.
Select read-only or view-only access.
Pick the smallest useful data scope.
Set a review window before sending.
Ask the coach to confirm access.
If you want day-to-day guidance without second-guessing, let N+One translate your latest training and recovery context into one clear next decision.
Read-only does not mean every connected feed must be shared. Treat wearable data as useful context, then share only what the coach needs to answer the question.
Check connected apps, account permissions, and visible metrics before you send the link. If privacy is your main concern, start with N+One privacy and data controls and tighten the share scope from there.
For Garmin or phone health data, review which services are connected and what they send into N+One. You can also check Garmin activity privacy settings when activity visibility is part of the concern.
Share only the metrics the coach needs.
Check connected apps before sending access.
Use an expiration date when available.
Revoke the link after the review cycle.

Ask your coach for written recommendations, not a separate hidden plan. That keeps feedback tied to the same sessions, notes, and constraints you already see.
Good feedback should name the proposed change, the reason for it, and the trade-off it creates. If you disagree, keep the exchange focused by using a clear coach feedback loop rather than switching tools midweek.
Set one small decision rule before the first review. For example, you can accept low-impact wording changes yourself, while larger plan shifts stay as proposals until you approve them.
Ask for recommendations in writing.
Keep accepted edits in N+One.
Use one shared note for questions.
Set the next review date before ending the call.
In N+One terms: let the coach audit while you retain the edit lever.
In N+One terms: let the coach audit; you retain the edit lever.
If the link fails, create a new share and ask your coach which login method they used. A small access mismatch can look like a broken plan.
If wearable data is missing, check the integration status before changing the share settings. For Apple users, iPhone Health connection settings may explain why a ride or workout is not visible.
If the coach sees an old plan, confirm whether you shared a live view or a snapshot export. When in doubt, revoke the old share, create a new one, and send one clean link.
Regenerate the link if access fails.
Confirm the coach used the right account.
Reauthorize a missing wearable connection.
Resend if the shared view is stale.
Day 1 — Share and confirm: enable read-only sharing, select the smallest useful metric scope, set a short expiration if available, and send the link with one sentence of context.
Days 2–4 — Receive recommendations: ask the coach for a short ranked list of changes, then keep your current plan unless you choose to accept a change.
Day 5 — Decide and document: choose which recommendations to accept, write the accepted changes in a shared note, and keep plan edit control with yourself.
Day 7 — Short sync: hold a brief review call, agree on the next training block, then renew or revoke the read-only link.

No. Use read-only sharing, a view-only link, or an export when available. Account sharing weakens your control and makes it harder to know who changed what.
Start with read-only access for the first review. If full control is still needed, agree on who owns plan changes before you switch permissions.
Yes. A PDF or CSV snapshot can be safer when you want a fixed review point. It also avoids confusion if your live plan changes during the week.
Use the shortest window that fits the review. If your account supports expiration, set it before sending the link and renew only when needed.
