Thanks for updating Training Today!
In this release, we have a bunch of internal fixes that should improve performance and crush a few minor bugs that have appeared.
We have also introduced Menstruation tracking in this release. If you use the Cycle Tracking app from Apple or another third-party app that records your periods in Apple Health, then these days will be indicated on the chart on your iPhone with a pink background to the day; again providing more context to why your RTT score may be where it is.
With this update, we now show Resting Heart Rate, Sleep data, Periods, and a daily Activity Intensity Score so you can better understand your RTT score.
We are also in the process of creating a complete online guide here which you can get from the Docs section of our website https://trainingtodayapp.com/. Please bear with us while we complete this; in the meantime, there are lots of documents on that site, plus blog posts, and don’t forget our podcast!
Our coaches are hard at work building a session library for release with watchOS10 that will be available to all subscribers and which we are really excited about, so stay tuned!
2.1
2023-05-26
This release builds on our goal of providing meaningful context for your RTT score and adds to the sleep data included in the last release with a new metric called Activity Intensity Score (AIS).
Our AIS algorithm is largely based on your daily active energy burned (as logged in Apple Health) and shows how intense your day was regarding workout activity. Now, you can better understand how your workouts have impacted your RTT score.
or example, after a recent Olympic Distance triathlon event, my AIS for that day was 68.1, with my RTT diving to 0.6, compared to 32.8 for a multi-sport training day or 7.5 for a recovery day, when RTT was more stable. The score is relative, will vary from person to person based on their physiology, and has no maximum value.
You would typically expect a relatively high AIS to hurt your RTT score, though that is not always true. Remember, you can tap on your RTT score in the iPhone app for a more detailed explanation of what the score means.
In the coming updates, further context data will help you understand your RTT, including menstruation tracking and subjective tagging. We are also working hard on building a dynamic session library that will form our dynamic training plans, enabling you to search for a run, swim, cycling or strength or conditioning session adapted to your current RTT.
Thanks again for your continued support - we are a small, self-funded team, and your support and patience while we build the best training app in the world are invaluable!

Sleep data is here! In this first release of version 2 of Training Today, you can see how your sleep affects your RTT score. Make sure you log your sleep using Apple Watch (with either the built-in app or any other app that writes its data to Apple Health), and we will show your sleep data breakdown so you can see how it has affected your RTT score each day.
Version 2 expands the context data we show so you can better understand what impacts your RTT score; stay tuned for further updates with additional context data, subjective input, and our exciting event focussed dynamic training plans coming later.
Thank you to everyone who has subscribed - we are a small, self-funded team, and your support and patience as we build out what we think is the best training app in the world is invaluable!
This release also includes bug fixes and performance improvements (of course!)

1.9.2
2022-12-20
Happy Holidays!
In this bonus update, we have added Siri support to Training Today! Just say:
“Hey Siri, what’s my Training Today Score” or "Hey Siri, What's my Training Today RTT" - you will get your score, and the current weekly chart displayed.
And if you are into creating Apple Shortcuts automation, you can now use your Training Today Score in a shortcut. So currently, if my RTT is less than 1, I add an hour to my morning alarm and stay in bed longer. (Joking! Ian).
Have fun and check out upcoming docs on our website for cool ideas for automation!
Plus, you know, bug fixes and performance enhancements!
Happy Holidays!

2022-10-17
This free upgrade (for those who have purchased the "Additional Charts”) introduces.
A full history of your HRV and RHR data shown on your iPhone. Browse through a week at a time to see how your fitness has changed (ideally, you would want to see HRV rising and RHR going down as your fitness improves)
A new lock screen widget for IOS 16
A subscription model to support the future development of the app. Many thanks to everyone who supports us in this way! We really appreciate it. Everyone who purchased the app previously will now be on a lifetime subscription with nothing more to pay, and we have a limited-time discount on the lifetime subscription for new users.
V1.9 will be released soon and will provide new widgets for your home screen and lock screen and monthly/quarterly/yearly long-term views of HRV and RHR data on iPhone.
v1.9.5 will bring new language support for French, German and Spanish.
V2 is a major upgrade that will be split released over a few months and will provide context tagging, data sharing, a new learning section with regularly updated content and video from our coaches and athletes, and an exciting and innovative new dynamic training feature to help improve your fitness.
1.7

> Apple Watch Notifications
Your Apple Watch will now notify you when your RTT score changes by your configured amounts (default is 1) compared to a rolling 4-day average. Configure this in settings on the iPhone Training Today app.
> New Smoothing Settings
We have fine-tuned the smoothing settings to be more accurate by default - they now default to 1 day (previously it was 2 days) and you can only change the smoothing in blocks of 24hrs. See our blog for the science behind this: https://trainingtodayapp.com/blog/training-today-rtt-methodology-and-24-hour-comparative-data.
V1.8 will be here soon providing an expanded chart history.
V1.9 will be released in fall and provide new widgets.
V2 soon afterwards is a major upgrade that will provide context tagging, data sharing, and a new learning section with regularly updated content and video from our coaches and athletes.
From 1.8 onwards we are moving to a subscription payment model to support the continued development of the app.
BUT as a huge thanks to all the thousands of users who have supported us by buying the “Additional Charts” in-app purchase we are automatically upgrading you to lifetime access users for free giving you access to all available content within Training Today. You don’t have to do anything, apart from purchasing the “Additional Charts” in-app purchase before v1.8 is released.
1.6
2021-09-21
Development improvements mean that we now do a better job of keeping the iPhone and Apple Watch RTT scores in sync at all times.
Ready for watchOS 8 and Apple Watch Series 7.
We have moved the Smoothing and Intensity settings to the iPhone app (available via the extra charts in-App purchase) to provide more clarity and accesibility and to keep the interaction on Apple Watch nice and simple.
Improved the HRV display accuracy in the 60-day chart (available via the extra charts in-App purchase) so it now shows one decimal place.
1.5
2021-02-03
New charts and data are now available! With a single in-app purchase you get a ten-week baseline fitness chart of HRV with optional Resting Heart Rate (RHR) overlaid.
So you can now browse your historic Readiness To Train (RTT) data and see how it has changed over time in relation to your activity and physiological state.
In addition, we now have a much-requested widget to add to your home screen so your RTT score is never far away :).
*** 60% discount for these great features via an in-app purchase throughout February 2021.

*** Workout identification ***
We now detect your Apple Health workouts and show them on the chart so you can better understand what is affecting your RTT score. Tap the screen to see details of the workout as you scroll through the chart with the Digital Crown and when you see the workout indicator.
If you have completed a recent workout but Apple Watch has not yet recorded your HRV following that, we now show an exclamation Indicator (!) which will prompt you to use the Breathe app when tapped, so we get the most recent data for your chart your RTT score is up to date.
