Despite the repeat evidence of people apparently ignoring their own signals and overreaching in small and big ways? I see less of the “I’m burned out…” and such these days (perhaps in part via change in TR’s own service), but to think that we always see, interpret AND correctly act on those signals is a stretch for me.
Desire to skip taking an off day is a thread as of this week which points to what we often see is that people want to plow on with their plan, even at the expense of their fitness direction once they pop. Endless “I’m sick… can I get back on the bike anyway?” and similar threads where people aim to push thru clear signs they need to alter direction are inevitable each year as well. We also have plenty of people who rely on stuff like HRV and other metrics as supplements to their own feelings.
All that to say that I doubt the idea of trusting your body and following that is going to work for some (many?) around here. Having a supplemental indicator seems like a fine option for me. Those that are comfortable on their own are free to ignore it.
I aim to review the history as a start, and see how it aligns with my own experience since I have detailed notes in workouts and on the calendar dating back 3+ years. If it looks like it can identify issues I had before I noticed them myself, then there is potential value in the feature. If it gives non-sense results, I will ignore it but I won’t choose to ditch it without at least a bit of a look to start.
