Deep dives

Dynamic Load Management and Assessing Training Load

The podcast episode discusses the development of Dynamic Load Management, an experimental program that takes into account factors like fatigue, recovery rates, stress index, and tissue stress in order to assess training load dynamically. The goal is to make small adjustments to programming based on an athlete's performance today, rather than following a predetermined plan. The episode explores the question of whether overshooting today's training should impact programming for the next day, challenging the conventional coaching wisdom.
