Most people train to see results. Because of the way the body works, the type of training determines the results you can expect and the performance with which you will be ready to face the future.
Training Effect is a metric that tells you the predicted impact of each workout on your future fitness. At the same time, following a regular recovery plan is also important to get the maximum benefit from your training.
One of the most common ways to use Training Effect is to coordinate and balance workouts that help maintain and improve your current fitness level (see VO2 max).
Training Effect builds up during your workout and is updated in real time. Use it on the go as a tool to adjust your workout to your needs. To improve your performance, you can push yourself harder, or ease off your pace before reaching the overreaching range if the results are not quite what you expected.
