Readiness: why resting is part of training
Recovery is not the opposite of progress — it is where progress happens. Here is how readiness scoring keeps you on the right side of the line.
Adaptation happens at rest
Training is the stimulus; adaptation is the response, and it happens while you recover. Train hard enough to signal change, then recover well enough to realize it. Skip the recovery and you accumulate fatigue faster than fitness — the classic overtraining trap.
What readiness scoring reads
Vireska combines your recent training load, reported sleep and stress, and session feedback into a single readiness signal. It is not a gadget gimmick — it is a practical answer to one question: should today be a push or a hold?
Using readiness in practice
When readiness is high, that is your green light for the harder session as written. When it dips, that is a real signal to dial back — tell your AI Coach and it will factor your current readiness into a lighter alternative for the day. Over a training block, listening to that signal is the gap between steady progress and burnout.
