Recommended action
Converging recovery signals and a compressed life window reduce the value of forcing threshold work. Preserving Saturday's key ride creates the better tradeoff.
03 · Why?
Meaningfully below this athlete's usual range.
Two recovery signals point in the same direction.
The available training window is compressed today.
Protecting the key session has greater weekly value.
Accept the existing coach-authored easy aerobic option, or keep the original session visible for an explicit athlete choice.
If the substitute also feels unusually difficult, stop and record the check-in rather than adding training debt.
Explicit athlete choice required; coach receives a reviewable summary.
