How it works
A resting heart rate 5–7 bpm above your personal normal baseline is an early signal your body hasn't recovered from yesterday's run. Catch it before you accumulate too much fatigue.
Measure HRV the morning after your long run. A significant drop tells you the session created meaningful stress — useful for deciding how aggressively to recover that day.
Enter each run's duration and perceived effort. Pulse Rate calculates a TRIMP training load score and shows your weekly load trend, helping you manage training ramp rate safely.
In taper weeks, watch your HRV rise as accumulated fatigue clears. Pulse Rate's trend chart shows your body preparing for race day — without needing to guess.
