FROM READINESS TO YOUR NEXT SESSION With Premium, explore structured swim, bike and run workouts that adapt to your RTT. Review the session, choose your options and send supported workouts to Apple Watch. Review readiness-based changes on iPhone before updating a workout on your Watch.

Choose power targets when configured, or free ride with heart-rate cues. Connected accounts and the relevant permissions are required. SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE Review recorded activities, readiness and HRV history. Use sleep context, Activity Intensity Score and Overall Fitness Index (OFI) trends to better understand your training. OFI is a personal HRV-based trend indicator, not a direct measurement of performance or VO2 max. START FREE. EXPLORE PREMIUM. Start with your readiness score, recent readiness chart, current sleep and resting heart rate, and recent OFI trends. Premium adds workout planning and the library, recorded activity review, deeper history, customization and integrations. Monthly, annual and lifetime purchase options unlock Premium; available options and local prices appear in the app. Training Today needs suitable Apple Health data to calculate readiness. Wear a compatible Apple Watch regularly, including overnight, and allow access to the health data you want to use. Watch workouts and other features depend on compatible devices and software. Your score supports training decisions: consider it alongside how you feel. Training Today does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
