Strain & training load
An effort goal set by this morning’s recovery, and a gauge for the last few weeks. So you can tell room to do more from time to stop.
How it works
Workouts and the rest of your day from heart rate, and strength from your sets. A session your Watch also recorded counts once.
Recovered well, the range goes up. Running low, it comes down. It learns how your body usually takes a hard day.
See where you are through the day, and get a short note after a workout with your strain against today’s goal.

What Auralo+ addsHow hard your heart worked today, on a scale from 0 to 100. It counts workouts and the rest of the day from your heart rate, and strength sessions from your sets. Each extra point takes more effort than the last, so 80 is a lot harder than 40.
From your recovery. A Go for it morning gets a higher range, a Recharge morning a lower one. Over time the goal shifts by up to 10 points, based on how your recovery usually responds to hard days.
It compares your last 7 days with your last 28. Below your usual reads Detraining, about the same reads Steady, a little above reads Building fitness, and well above reads Overreaching. It needs about four weeks of data before it shows a word.
Yes. The default is a share of your maximum heart rate. You can switch to heart-rate reserve (Karvonen), a lactate-threshold split, or set the zones yourself. Every zone chart in the app follows your choice.
