Main decision
Hold the line next week.
HRV faded across the week, so extra intensity has a poor risk–reward ratio.
Recovery trend
What improved
No clear improvement signal this week.
What got worse
Sleep dropped late in the week.
Top priority Watch
Bank recovery before adding fatigue. Hold load flat and watch HRV and resting heart rate over the next two mornings.
Next week's focus: keep at least 4 of 7 days genuinely easy.
Strength and running
2 strength sessions, one the day before a key run. Separate lower-body strength from key runs by at least 24 hours.
Nutrition OK
Coverage is usable this week. Next week's macro targets stay where they are: execution is the limiting factor.
Event readiness · HYROX
- Check compromised running after heavy lower-body work.
- Watch sled strength, grip fatigue, wall ball tolerance and knee load.
Three actions for next week
- Set next week around one priority session, then protect the recovery around it.
- Use the first two mornings to confirm HRV, resting heart rate and sleep are moving together.
- Log protein and carbs on hard training days so P247 can separate poor recovery from poor fuelling.
Confidence
High. Sleep and HRV on all 7 days, nutrition on 6.
Data gaps
Training load is missing for 1 day this week.
Coach question
Was anything heavier than planned this week: travel, extra sessions, life stress? That changes how we read the HRV dip.
