overtraining-check

Overtraining risk is checked by computing ACWR, monotony, and strain from daily loads over a 28- to 35-day window, returning a red, yellow, or green verdict with a concrete recovery recommendation for endurance athletes.

The ACWR calculation evaluates recent training loads by comparing acute and chronic workload, while also calculating monotony and strain based on Foster's model to decide whether to back off or continue training as planned.

Yes, the three-metric overtraining screen applies to endurance athletes across running, cycling, and swimming by deriving monotony and strain from recent daily loads to guide coaching decisions.

Athlete profile inputs are optional; the calculation pre-reads the athlete snapshot to seed physiologic inputs like hr_max, hr_rest, and ftp to adapt calculations, but it relies primarily on local database data of daily loads.

The skill outputs a JSON payload containing a red, yellow, or green verdict alongside the computed metrics and a specific recommendation on whether to back off or continue as planned, followed by a memory update step.
