Acute load: Acute load is a weighted sum of your recent exercise load scores including exercise duration and
intensity. ( Acute Load, page 53 ).
Training load focus: Your watch analyzes and distributes your training load into different categories based on
the intensity and structure of each activity recorded. Training load focus includes the total load accumulated
per category, and the focus of the training. Your watch displays your load distribution over the last 4 weeks
(
Training Load Focus, page 53 ).
Recovery time: The recovery time displays how much time remains before you are fully recovered and ready for
the next hard workout ( Recovery Time, page 53 ).
Training Status Levels
Training status shows you how your training affects your fitness level and performance. Your training status is
based on changes to your VO2 max., acute load, and HRV status over an extended time period. You can use
your training status to help plan future training and continue improving your fitness level.
No Status: The watch needs at least one activity per week, with VO2 max. results from running or cycling, to
determine your training status.
Detraining: You have a break in your training routine or you are training much less than usual for a week
or more. Detraining means that you are unable to maintain your fitness level. You can try increasing your
training load to see improvement.
Recovery: Your lighter training load is allowing your body to recover, which is essential during extended periods
of hard training. You can return to a higher training load when you feel ready.
Maintaining: Your current training load is enough to maintain your fitness level. To see improvement, try adding
more variety to your workouts or increasing your training volume.
Productive: Your current training load is moving your fitness level and performance in the right direction. You
should plan recovery periods into your training to maintain your fitness level.
Peaking: You are in ideal race condition. Your recently reduced training load is allowing your body to recover
and fully compensate for earlier training. You should plan ahead, since this peak state can only be maintained
for a short time.
Overreaching: Your training load is very high and counterproductive. Your body needs a rest. You should give
yourself time to recover by adding lighter training to your schedule.
Unproductive: Your training load is at a good level, but your fitness is decreasing. Try focusing on rest, nutrition,
and stress management.
Strained: There is imbalance between your recovery and training load. It is a normal result after a hard training
or major event. Your body may be struggling to recover, so you should pay attention to your overall health.
Tips for Getting Your Training Status
The training status feature depends on updated assessments of your fitness level, including at least one VO2
max. measurement per week. Your VO2 max. estimate is updated after outdoor runs or rides with power during
which your heart rate reached at least 70% of your maximum heart rate for several minutes. Indoor run activities
do not generate a VO2 max. estimate in order to preserve the accuracy of your fitness level trend. You can
disable VO2 max. recording for ultra run and trail run activities if you do not want those run types to affect your
VO2 max. estimate (
Turning Off VO2 Max. Recording, page 46 ).
To get the most out of the training status feature, you can try these tips.
• At least one time per week, run or ride outdoors with a power meter, and reach a heart rate higher than 70% of
your maximum heart rate for at least 10 minutes.
After using the watch for one week, your training status should be available.
• Record all of your fitness activities on this watch, or enable the Physio TrueUp feature, allowing your watch to
learn about your performance ( Syncing Activities and Performance Measurements, page 45 ).
• Wear the watch consistently while you sleep, to continue generating an up-to-date HRV status. Having a valid
HRV status can help maintain a valid training status when you do not have as many activities with VO2 max.
