What is Training form?

Training form is one number for how fresh you are today, and higher means fresher. You find it at the top of the Training form card on the Coach screen.

Kinoku builds it from two running totals of your own sessions. Fitness is the load you built up over about six weeks, so it moves slowly. Fatigue is the load from roughly the last week, so it rises and falls fast. Form is fitness minus fatigue.

Form uses both totals as they stood when the day began, which is why it can trail today’s fitness and fatigue by a day. Form tells you what you woke up with, not what you have done since. Lifting, runs, swims, classes and brisk walking all count toward the load.

The idea comes from endurance sport, where it is known as the Banister model, so it works as a rough guide rather than a verdict. When the chart and how your body feels disagree, your body knows things the chart cannot see.
