The Full Fitness Picture: Lift Records, Trophy Rooms, and the Training History You Never Had
Most workout apps answer one question: what did you do today?
CairnHolm's exercise section was redesigned to answer a different set of questions. What's the most you've ever lifted on a bench press? What's your best pace over a 10K distance? How consistent has your training been over the last year? How do your running weeks compare to your strength weeks?
These are the questions that tell you whether you're progressing. And until recently, you'd need a spreadsheet to answer them.
Your Trophy Room
At the top of the Records tab sits your Trophy Room — four personal bests that represent the peaks of your athletic life logged in CairnHolm.
Your longest run. Your fastest pace. Your max weight lifted. Your longest swim.
Each card updates automatically as you log new workouts. Set a new distance PR on a Saturday morning run and it appears there by the time you've showered. Hit a new deadlift max and the trophy updates in place. The Trophy Room isn't something you configure — it updates automatically as you log.
Lift Records
Below the Trophy Room, the Lift Records section goes further into your strength history. For every exercise you've logged with weight — bench press, squat, overhead press, whatever you track — CairnHolm finds your best single session: the highest weight, the sets and reps you hit it at, and the date it happened.
This is the kind of data that used to live in handwritten training logs or never at all. Now it updates automatically every time you log a strength session. If you hit a new max on any lift, it appears here without you doing anything extra.
Best Efforts for Running
Runners get a parallel system for pace-based performance. The Best Efforts section calculates your estimated best pace across standard race distances — 400m, 1 mile, 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon — derived from your actual run logs.
You don't have to run a race to have a race-equivalent time. If your logged runs contain enough data, CairnHolm estimates your best effort at each distance and surfaces it here. It's a way of seeing your fitness as a range of capabilities, not just a collection of individual sessions.
Training History Heatmap
The heatmap view covers 12 months of training in a single glance. Each cell represents a day — color-coded by workout difficulty, with a small icon showing the dominant activity type. Rest days, training days, and future days are visually distinct so gaps and patterns are immediately readable.
Hover over any cell and a tooltip shows you the date, session count, and top difficulty for that day. Today's cell carries a highlight ring so you always know where you are in the year. Month labels above the grid orient the weeks in calendar context.
After a few months of consistent logging, the heatmap starts to look like a record — consecutive training days, gaps from travel or illness, the build toward a race.
Activity Trends
A 12-month chart shows how your training volume has shifted over time, across all activity types. Toggle between time and distance metrics. Toggle between weekly and monthly grouping. The chart covers everything: runs, swims, strength sessions, cycling. A year of training, compressed into something you can read in a second.
Body Metrics in the Stats Tab
Height, weight, age, and unit system now live inside the Stats tab — where they're actually relevant to your training data — instead of behind a settings modal. Keeping your metrics current keeps your estimated best efforts and training calculations accurate.
Swimming and Cycling
Both are now full workout types in CairnHolm, with distance tracking and dedicated display throughout the app — in the heatmap, the activity trends chart, the history table, and the Trophy Room. If you're a triathlete, a cyclist, or someone who prefers lanes to roads, your training is now tracked with the same fidelity as running and strength work.
What This Actually Changes
Most people who train consistently can't tell you their actual personal bests. They have a rough sense of recent performance, but no authoritative answer when someone asks what their mile time is or how much they benched last spring.
CairnHolm's exercise section now answers those questions automatically, from the sessions you were already logging.
