Understanding the Today tab

The Today tab is the first screen you see when you open the app. It serves as your daily command center, providing a comprehensive, at-a-glance summary of your training readiness, recent workouts, and key wellbeing metrics. Check it each morning to make informed decisions about your training for the day.

Training Readiness

At the top of the screen, you'll find your current Training Readiness score. This percentage indicates how prepared your body is for training, based on a combination of your recent training load, sleep quality, and body metrics. Tap the info icon ⓘ to get a detailed explanation of the score and the different readiness levels.
