Your training load has two major components:
๐น Your training balance โ balancing the shorter-term and longer-term effects of your training to ensure your training is productive (not too much, not too little)
๐น Your training progression โ managing how you progress your training to avoid injury from adding too much too quickly.
Power provides metrics, based on your completed workouts, to manage your training load.

Power calculates a Stress Score for every workout, using the workout intensities and durations.
It uses the Stress Scores from every workout, along with your Threshold Power, to calculate training load metrics.
These metrics will be covered in more detail in an upcoming series of posts.

Training stresses your body, prompting it to adapt and become fitter, improving performance.
But it’s a balance.
Stress the body too little, and it wonโt adapt.
Stress it too much or progress too quickly, and itโll break down instead of adapting.
Stress the body correctly, managing both balance and progression, and sustained long-term improvements are possible.
