Training balance shows whether your effort has been running ahead of your recovery or behind it. Each point compares a week of Exertion with a week of Recovery on the same 0 to 100 scale.
01Where to find it
Tap the Trends tile on Today. Training balance is the chart after Recovery vs exertion. The period menu at the top of Trends sets the range for every chart on the screen, with 30 Days, 60 Days, 6 Months and Year to choose from. Trends opens on Year.
Recovery vs exertion draws both scores as separate lines. Training balance turns the gap between them into one line, so a run of days where effort outpaces recovery is easier to spot.
02How the daily value is calculated
Titan puts both scores on the same scale before comparing them. Exertion runs from 0 to 10, so Titan multiplies it by 10 to get a number from 0 to 100. It then subtracts that day's Recovery score, which also runs from 0 to 100.
| Exertion | Exertion × 10 | Recovery | Daily value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6.5 | 65 | 58 | +7 |
| 8.0 | 80 | 45 | +35 |
| 2.0 | 20 | 80 | -60 |
A positive value means effort outran recovery that day. A negative value means recovery outran effort. Titan skips any day that is missing a Recovery score or an Exertion score. It never counts a missing day as zero.
03The 7-day rolling average
The chart does not plot raw daily values. Each point is the average of the daily values from the 7 days ending on that date. Days without a value drop out of the average. A point appears only when at least 3 of those 7 days have a value. With fewer than 3, the line breaks.
Your line therefore starts on the third day that has both scores. A week without Recovery, such as a stretch of nights without your Apple Watch, leaves a gap. The readout labels values with a percent sign. Read them as points on the shared 0 to 100 scale.
04Reading the line
The chart draws a reference line at zero. Points above it mean exertion has been ahead of recovery over the past week. Points below it mean recovery has been ahead of exertion. Titan does not label zones on this chart or add coaching text to it.
Read the line against your own plan. A line that climbs through a hard training block and falls back during an easier week is the expected shape. A line that stays well above zero while your Recovery scores keep falling suggests your recent load is outpacing your recovery. For longer-term context on how your load is building, compare this chart with the training load chart at the top of Trends.
