The Training Today Podcast
The Training Today app tracks your readiness to train each day by monitoring your health metrics on Apple Watch. In this podcast, Ian & Ade discuss how it works, the underlying science and data (such as heart rate variability - HRV), and the best way to utilize your Readiness to Train (RTT) score for your structured training. Each episode is a brisk 20 mins chat, as we explore the app and the exciting directions we want to see it develop.
