Readiness score
readiness indicator
A single number combining sleep, how you feel, resting heart rate and HRV — the answer to whether today is a day for hard training.
Readiness is not a measurement but a summary of several signals. Each one alone can mislead: a single bad night does not write off a session, and good HRV does not cancel out knee pain.
In Trenaio readiness comes from six inputs: sleep duration and quality, muscle soreness, stress, motivation and — if you have consented to health data — HRV and resting heart rate. Each signal is weighted, and the result is reported together with how many signals were actually available.
That matters: readiness computed from two filled fields and from six are not numbers of the same quality. That is why we show the count.
How to read the values
What to do about it
- Fill in the check-in before training, not after — that is when the number can still change something.
- Pain of 6/10 or higher blocks the session regardless of the rest of the score. That is a rule, not a suggestion.
- If readiness is low for a third day running, yesterday’s session is rarely the cause — look at sleep and stress.
A common misconception
“Low readiness means I should skip training.”
In most cases it means changing the intensity, not cancelling. An easy session on a low-readiness day often beats doing nothing — provided it really is easy.
