STRAIN AND TOLERANCE

In addition to the Cardio load from individual training sessions, the new Training Load Pro feature measures your short

term Cardio load (Strain) and long term Cardio load (Tolerance).

Strain shows you how much you have strained yourself with training lately. It shows your average daily load from the

past 7 days.

Tolerance describes how prepared you are to endure cardio training. It shows your average daily load from the past 28

days. To improve your tolerance for cardio training, you need to slowly increase your training over a longer period of

time.

Cardio load status looks at the relation between your Strain and Tolerance and based on that shows you whether you

are in a detraining, maintaining, productive or overreaching Cardio load status. You will also get personalized feedback

based on your status.

Cardio load status guides you in evaluating the impact your training has on your body and how it affects your progress.

Knowing how your past training affects your performance today allows you to keep your total training volume in control

and optimize the timing of training at different intensities. Seeing how your training status changes after a session helps

you understand how much load was caused by the session.

In time view, use the UP and DOWN buttons to navigate to the Cardio Load Status watch face.
