## What is Training Today?

Training Today constantly monitors your Health Data from Apple Watch to determine your readiness to train (RTT) each day and throughout the day.  

Training Today can help you stay safe from overtraining injury or let you know if it’s the best time to work hard, take it easy, or have a rest day.

Developed with British Triathlon Coaches and tested on athletes of varying ability, we have taken a holistic view of your life by using the advanced capabilities of Apple Watch to monitor your health 24hrs a day and process that data to create a simple, accurate readiness to train (RTT) score to help you reach your training goal.

Key Features
===============

* Calculates your readiness to train (RTT) score automatically throughout the day.
* Presents a multi-day chart showing how your score is changing.
* Using the Digital Crown, you can scroll through previous RTT scores on the chart.
* Runs independently on Apple Watch; no need for iPhone to be present.
* iPhone companion app also shows your current RTT score and tutorial.
* Full support for all complications means you can quickly glance at your watch and see your current RTT score at any time.

### 1/5 — Good -> broken vibe-coded mess

*2026-07-27, version 5.1*

This app used to be a fantastic reliable HRV tracker for Apple Watch. But then within last year the developer vibe-coded it into a bloated crashing mess. The app can no longer perform its basic function, as it crashes 9 out of 10 times when trying to show the HRV chart.

### 1/5 — AI Slop

*2026-07-22, version 5.1*

Was decent before, simple and got the job done. Now it barely works and looks like AI slop.

### 3/5 — Deteriorating

*2026-07-15, version 5.1*

Quality is getting worse over time. The widgets stopped updating, the app crashes on every load on Apple Watch, and the charts are extremely laggy on the iPhone. Using latest Apple Watch and iPhone 16 Pro.

### 1/5 — Does it really work?

*2026-05-25, version 4.2.5*

Poor UI and hardly gets updated or maintained

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-23, version 4.2.5*

I’ve been using this app for years now ! it gives great insite after heavy training days ,I like to check my score and see if it’s true to how I feel and it seems to be very accurate been a women you have good weeks and not so good weeks …. 
I love the training on here too ,gives lots of options and Taylor’s to your score on the day 👌🏼

### 5/5 — Gets better and better

*2026-05-21, version 4.2.5*

This app just improves all the time. Had this app for years now and refer to it daily. Really great use of health data and user input. Love the new “feeling unwell” question.

### 5/5 — Super App

*2026-05-10, version 4.2.5*

Die App ist wirklich genial. Gerade wenn man chronisch krank ist und den aktuellen Fitnessstand nicht genau einschätzen kann. Natürlich sollte man immer auf seinen eigenen Körper hören, aber die App unterstützt. Könnte man eventuell noch die tägliche Trinkmenge integrieren? Wäre meines Erachtens nicht unwichtig in Verbindung mit dem richtigen Training.

### 3/5 — Zu teuer für Sportler - außer man ist Berufssportler

*2026-04-11, version 4.2*

Die Leistung der App stimmt in etwa, doch eigentlich sollte jeder mit etwas Erfahrung auch ohne diese App wissen wie Leistungsfähig er gerade ist. Im ambitionierten Leistungssport oder als Berufssportler hat man sich diese Fähigkeit (der App)bereits erarbeitet. An der Stelle kommt dann der Preis der App ins Spiel. Also Ehrlich … der Preis ist schon sportlich- für Profis eben. Doch die Profis brauchen die App nicht wirklich… kurz gesagt: Ein stolzer Preis für eine Einsteiger-App.

### 5/5 — Great functionality with Apple Watch

*2026-04-03, version 4.2*

Been using this for years and love the plethora of data available to me. Paid upgrade is worth it in my opinion. Recent updates added the AI analysis which I find very informative and love how it breaks down my readiness to train, sleep, and previous activity intensity and how that impacts me now. 
I have been using the workout advisor recently to coach my swimming workouts, it’s been great how it generates a 30m-1hr swim that suits my readiness to train. My only gripe is that I wish it’d work in imperial units - I emailed support about it and they told me to change my watch’s units which does work but means I have to convert every single workout before I do it.

### 2/5 — Ungenau

*2026-04-03, version 4.2*

Ich habe die App nun einen Monat laufen für drei Euro. Sie bezieht zwar Charriba alle Parameter aus der Health App mit ein, aber die Angabe, wie intensiv dein Training beziehungsweise dein Alltag ablaufen sollte, ist massiv ungenau. Ich war auf einer Hochzeitsfeier, habe kaum geschlafen, viel Alkohol getrunken und hatte am nächsten Tag fast den maximalen Bereitschafts Level erreicht. Vorgestern habe ich nur 3 Stunden nachts schlafen können. Mein Training hätte laut der App die zweithöchste Intensität empfohlen obwohl ich komplett Matsch war. Was passt hier jedenfalls nicht.

## Frequently asked questions about Training Today

Training Today continuously monitors your Apple Watch health data to calculate your daily readiness to train (RTT) score. This score helps you understand whether it's best to train hard, take it easy, or rest, aiming to prevent overtraining injuries and optimize performance.

### How is the readiness to train score calculated?

The app uses your Apple Watch's Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and workout detection data, processed through its own algorithm, to determine your RTT score. It also filters out outlier data to ensure accuracy and provides a multi-day chart to visualize score changes.

### Is Training Today a free app?

Training Today offers a freemium model. Basic features like calculating your RTT score and viewing charts are available. Advanced features such as Siri support, enhanced iPhone app capabilities, and customizable notifications require a subscription.

### What devices is Training Today compatible with?

### Who would benefit from using Training Today?

This app is ideal for athletes and fitness enthusiasts who use an Apple Watch and want to make informed decisions about their training intensity. It helps users avoid overtraining, understand their body's recovery status, and reach their training goals more effectively.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 5.1 — 2026-07-08

Your Readiness to Train (RTT) score now adapts to your sleep.

Rather than reacting to a single poor night's sleep, Training Today compares your recent sleep with your normal sleep patterns and considers any accumulated sleep debt. This provides a more realistic picture of how well recovered your body is today.

Sleep Adaptation works alongside HRV and your other RTT Adaptations to help recommend the right level of training.

Tip* Sleep Adaptation can be enabled or disabled at any time in Settings → RTT Adaptations.

### 5.0.1 — 2026-06-20

**Status Tags**
Status Tags help you identify factors that may be influencing your RTT score. You can add tags at any time and review them directly on your chart. Over time, these insights become even more valuable, as you can analyse patterns across weeks, months, or even years using the long-term charts.

**New UI**
In this release, we’ve refreshed the Home screen with a modernised design that brings it in line with the rest of the app. We’ve also replaced the old tutorial screen with a new Discovery panel, which combines help resources with a timeline highlighting the improvements and features we’ve added over the years.

We hope you enjoy the cleaner, more polished experience!

### 4.2.5 — 2026-05-08

RTT now accounts for periods when you may be unwell.

When recent health data shows patterns commonly associated with illness, such as changes in resting heart rate, temperature, or sleep, you may be prompted to select how you’re feeling.

Based on the selected severity, RTT is adjusted to better reflect reduced recovery capacity during illness.

Health signals are indicative only and not a medical diagnosis.

### 4.2 — 2026-03-18

Introducing Adapted RTT.

This update adds the first in a new series of scenario-based adaptations designed to help your RTT score more accurately reflect your physiology and training condition.

We’re starting with functional overreaching — the short-term fatigue that can follow a heavy training block, major effort, or significant event. Adapted RTT helps account for that pattern so your score better reflects the load your body may still be carrying.

It’s informed by what we’re learning from the thousands of athletes using Training Today. More adaptations are planned over time, and Adapted RTT can be turned off at any time in Settings.
