Apple's New Training Load Explained: Tested for 30 Days (WatchOS 11)

Here's everything you need to know about Apple's new WatchOS11 training load, vitals, and Effort Rating pieces A bit over a month ago at Apple’s WWDC event, the company announced their newest versions of WatchOS, the software platform that the Apple Watch uses. It also announced new versions of iOS and various other operating systems. All of these will become final in the September timeframe, typically alongside new devices announced then. In the meantime, they’ve had developer betas, and now as of today, public betas. This means anyone can try out the new features. For Apple Watch, that included a number of features that are notable for endurance athletes, such as training load, structured swim workouts, pause activity rings, and offline maping. For this post, I’m going to dive into the Training Load and Vitals pieces a bit closer. I’m going to look at how it all works, what works well, what doesn’t work well, and more.Note that this is still beta, and to Apple’s credit, in years past they have actually taken feedback on sports-specific Apple Watch beta features, and tweaked them notably by time September hits. Hopefully they’ll consider doing that here as well. Here's a link to the study about using RPE: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/... #AppleWatch #WatchOS11 #AppleWatchOS11
