We recommend reading these guides first:

Train Smarter with Readiness

Your Readiness Score tells you how recovered your body is and whether you should push hard, train moderately, or focus on rest and recovery.

What Is Readiness?

Readiness is a daily score (0-100) that reflects your body ability to perform and adapt to training stress. Higher score means more recovered and ready for intense exercise.

How It Is Calculated

Sleep (40% weight) considers duration, quality, efficiency, stages, and consistency. HRV (30% weight) considers morning reading, 7-day trend, and comparison to baseline. Resting Heart Rate (15% weight) considers morning RHR and deviation from baseline. Training Load (15% weight) considers recent volume and intensity, days since rest, and cumulative fatigue.

Score Interpretation

80-100 (Peak Readiness) is great for high-intensity, PR attempts, long sessions, and competition. 60-79 (Good Readiness) suits moderate-intensity, regular sessions, and skill work. 40-59 (Reduced Readiness) suggests light exercise only, active recovery, and mobility work. Below 40 (Rest Recommended) means take a full rest day with gentle movement only, focusing on sleep and nutrition.

Viewing Your Readiness

Open the Workout section, your Readiness Score appears at the top, and tap to see the breakdown.

Improving Your Readiness

Prioritize sleep quality and duration, balance hard training with rest days, manage life stress, stay hydrated and well-nourished, and use active recovery strategically.

Remember: The best athletes are not those who train hardest every day - they are the ones who train hard when ready and recover when needed.
