Frequently Asked Questions
Should I skip training after crossing time zones?
Not necessarily. Start with an easy, familiar session and adjust intensity or volume based on sleep, how you feel, and your recent training context. Avoid using one readiness score as a command to train or rest.
How should hybrid athletes adjust training when traveling?
Keep the session most connected to your current goal, make easy work genuinely easy, and reduce optional mileage or accessory lifting first. This preserves the shape of the week without stacking unnecessary stress while sleep and routine are changing.
Can Apple Watch readiness data measure jet lag?
No. Wearable trends can show changes in sleep timing, resting heart rate, heart-rate variability, and workload, but they cannot diagnose jet lag or tell you exactly how hard to train. Use the trend with how you feel and your training plan.
