On your training dashboard, you'll find an icon that indicates the type of training week you're in. Most of the time, you'll be in a "normal" training week, but there are a few other possibilities as well. These are described below:
- Normal: "Training"
- Build-up: "Build-Up phase" - This is the initial phase of a training plan when you're just starting out, especially if you're coming from a relatively untrained state.
- Injury: "Injury" - If you've indicated that you have an injury, you'll receive additional rest to help you recover.
- Rest: "Recovery week" - To be able to keep building up the training stress week after week, it is recommended to sometimes take it a bit easier. We will only schedule a recovery week when the total training volume in the previous weeks was high enough that you will benefit from an easier week on the long term. A recovery week has enough volume to not lose too much fitness but a lot less intensity.
- Taper: "Taper phase" - This is the final part of your training plan, designed to bring you into top shape for your training goal.
