Frequently Asked Questions
What is training readiness?
Training readiness is a daily score that helps you decide whether your body is ready for intensity, moderate work, or recovery. It combines HRV, sleep, resting heart rate trends, and recent training load into one practical signal.
What should I do on a low readiness day?
On a low readiness day, the smart move is usually to reduce intensity instead of forcing the hardest workout on your plan. Easy aerobic work, mobility, or a shorter skill-focused session often preserves momentum better than pushing through fatigue.
Why does readiness matter more for hybrid athletes?
Hybrid athletes accumulate fatigue from both endurance training and strength work, so recovery bottlenecks show up faster. A readiness score helps you avoid stacking hard runs and hard lifts when your body does not have enough recovery capacity for both.
