The morning check
Go, ease or rest: what it reads, what changes the verdict, and why it sometimes says it cannot tell.
Every morning, once your watch has synced the night, the coach reads your night and your training: how long and how well you slept, your overnight HRV and your resting heart rate against your own last four weeks, the fatigue your recent training carries, and any symptom you logged. Then it writes a short message. When another hour of today is clearly milder, it moves today's session there on its own and says so; the workout stays the same. When your numbers call for it, it suggests a change to the session itself, and nothing of that changes until you tap Apply. (A workout that went differently from the plan is another matter: it can ease the next days on its own; After a workout.)
The three verdicts
- GO
Everything near your baseline. The planned session stands; on a clearly good morning it may suggest a little more.
- EASE
One or two numbers off. It suggests an easier or a shorter session.
- REST
A bad enough night, or pain you reported: it suggests a rest day. Nothing is pushed to your watch on a rest day.
When it says it cannot tell
No night recorded: the check says so instead of guessing. Fewer than eight nights in the last four weeks: there is no baseline yet, so HRV and resting heart rate do not count toward the verdict. Wear the watch to bed and the check fills in on its own.
What you can add
Tell the coach in the chat how you feel, that something hurts, or that the day will be hot. Pain changes the plan: while pain you reported is fresh, no hard session goes into it.
