๐Ÿฅ Recovery Prescription

Good shape โ€” fitness is accessible

โœ“ Training load is well balanced โ€” keep doing what you're doing
โœ“ Room to add intensity or volume if targeting a race build
MiTi 2026: 17 weeks out. BUILD PHASE: 17 weeks to MiTi โ€” plenty of time to build and recover

๐Ÿ“Š Your Fitness Story โ€” In Plain English

An AI-generated narrative interpreting your fitness, fatigue, and form chart. Based on 3588 activities over 9 years.

Where You Are Right Now
Your training is well balanced right now. Fitness (CTL=56) and recent load (ATL=54) are close to equilibrium (TSB=2). You're maintaining without digging a fatigue hole โ€” a sustainable place to train from.
Injury Risk Right Now
Your A:C ratio is 1.06 โ€” right in the productive training zone (0.8-1.3). Your recent training load is well matched to what your body has adapted to. You can push a little harder or maintain, and you're not at elevated injury risk.
Current Training Cycle
Your current training build started around 2026-01-30 when your CTL was 48. Over the past 76 days, you've gained 8 CTL points, bringing you to 56. At 0.7 CTL/week, this is a conservative build โ€” plenty of room to push harder if you want to. For context, you're currently at 82% of your all-time peak CTL (68, reached on 2025-11-06).
โš  Data Quality Note
58.6% of activities (2104 of 3588) had no heart rate data. For these, training load was estimated from your own averages by sport type (Run: โ€”/hr, Bike: โ€”/hr, Swim: โ€”/hr). Wearing a HR monitor consistently would significantly improve accuracy.

๐Ÿ“– How to Read This Dashboard

All the jargon in this report, explained in plain English with color-coded ranges.

CTL โ€” Chronic Training Load ("Fitness")
Think of CTL as your fitness bank account. It's a rolling 42-day average of how hard you've been training. Higher = fitter.
Below 40 = low base โœ˜40โ€“70 = moderate โš 70โ€“90 = strong โœ”90+ = elite โ˜…
ATL โ€” Acute Training Load ("Fatigue")
ATL reflects how hard the last 7 days have been. When ATL is much higher than CTL, your body is absorbing more stress than it's adapted to.
Below CTL = recovering โœ”Near CTL = balanced โœ”Well above CTL = overreaching โœ˜
TSB โ€” Training Stress Balance ("Form")
TSB = CTL minus ATL. Negative means recent training is heavier than adapted to. Sweet spot for race day is +5 to +15.
Below -25 = danger โœ˜-25 to -10 = building โš -10 to +5 = balanced โœ”+5 to +15 = race-ready โ˜…
A:C Ratio โ€” Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio ("Injury Risk")
Compares recent 7 days to 28-day average. Above 1.3 = elevated injury risk. Above 1.5 = serious risk.
Below 0.8 = undertrained โ†“0.8โ€“1.3 = sweet spot โœ”1.3โ€“1.5 = caution โš Above 1.5 = high risk โœ˜
