Peak level. If there has been a period of 
lower intensity, your current level may be 
lower. To reach higher TE than 3.8 from this 
workout, you need to increase the 
intensity so that this graph pushes the 
peak mark higher. 

Training Effect reached so far in the 
workout: 3.8 (Improving) 

Bottom row: Next TE level is 4.0 but you can not reach it with the current 
intensity. (Time indicator -:-- means that you have to increase intensity to 
reach the target.) 

To find out more about Training Effect, and how to use it to improve your training, please download
