Training goal and Rest Mode

The five training goals in Titan, the Exertion range each one sets, how Rest Mode changes your target, and the weekly sessions target.

Published September 24, 2026Updated Sep 28, 2026

Your training goal tells Titan how hard you plan to train right now. It sets the base range for your daily Exertion target and the order of workout suggestions. Rest Mode is a separate switch that drops today's target to the recovery range and leaves your goal in place.

01Where to set it

Tap your avatar on Today to open You, then tap the Your Training tile. Tap Training Goal, pick a goal, and tap the checkmark to save. New installs start on Building.

02The five goals

Each goal sets a base Exertion range on the 0 to 10 scale. The descriptions are the app's own.

GoalBase Exertion rangeDescription in the app
Peak Training7.0 to 9.0The highest level of training, for example you are training for a marathon or triathlon, or are nearing race day and want to achieve your highest possible level of fitness.
Building5.5 to 7.5Training at a high level but below peak. For example you are beginning to train for a race, or just generally want to increase your fitness level.
Maintaining4.0 to 6.0Maintaining your current fitness level. For example you are not building towards an event but want to retain your current fitness.
Tapering2.5 to 4.5Reducing training load to shed fatigue. For example you are approaching a race or are coming off a high-load block.
Injured or Resting0.0 to 2.0You may want to take it easy due to injury, illness, or a planned recovery period.

Titan then shifts that range each day with your Recovery and recent training. Exertion target explains the shifts. The footnote under the Training section of Your Training shows the base range for your current goal.

03What the goal changes

The goal sets the target band on the Exertion ring on Today, the target on the Exertion screen, and the target the Apple Watch app shows. On the Workouts screen, it sets the order of Workout Suggestions. Peak Training leads with Tempo Run, HIIT Session, and Endurance Ride. Tapering and Injured or Resting lead with Recovery Walk, Mobility Yoga, and Technique Swim. See workouts.

04Rest Mode

Rest Mode is a switch on Your Training and is off by default. Turning it on changes three things on the Exertion screen and one notification.

  • The target uses the 0.0 to 2.0 range of Injured or Resting whatever your goal. Recovery and recent load no longer shift it, and no stretch target opens.
  • The suggestions lead with Recovery and Easy Run.
  • The Target Exertion Reached notification stops.

Your saved goal stays as it was, and turning Rest Mode off returns the target to it.

05Sessions per week

Sessions per Week sits on Your Training. Set any value from 1 to 30. The default is 7. The stepper stays disabled until you have set up your profile.

The Your Training tile on You shows your goal and a count such as 4 / 5, labeled Sessions in the last 7 days. The first number is your workouts from the last 7 days. The second is your target. The target drives this tile and the Last 7 Days overview on Your Training. It does not change your Exertion range.
