πŸŠβ€β™‚οΈπŸš΄πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ Finding the return to fitness sweet spot with RTT

Thanks to a pre-Christmas flu and general busyness over the holidays, my triathlon training took a dive.

This past week, I’ve really tried to get back into it. As a result, my watch and phone have been pointing out that my training load has spiked and are suggesting caution.

At the same time, my readiness to train has been correspondingly increasing. I’ve been using this increase, plus generally feeling good, to keep the training intensity at the right level without overdoing it.

Seems to be working so far. Now that I feel like I’ve regained momentum, I’ll ease off on the training progression to stabilize on a more modest increase over weeks. I don’t need to relearn the lessons of overtraining and injury!

GΓΆran Winblad has a good video on how to use RTT and HRV as one indicator in training. Worth investigating for your training too.
