Data Analysis for Coaches: Interpreting Training Metrics

[CycleStrategist]

Data provides insights, but interpretation is key for coaches.
Metrics to analyze:

• Heart rate (avg, max, time in zones).
• Power (for cycling/running) and pace.
• Cadence, stride rate.
• Training Stress Score (TSS), Intensity Factor (IF), Normalized Power (NP).
• Athlete comments and RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion).

"The numbers tell a story, but only if you know how to read them."
