We have a few opinions

Running apps love a number.

A readiness score. A recovery score. A performance score. A score for the score.

Some of those numbers are useful.

Some are wearing a lab coat they did not earn.

Scheduled is not completed.

A workout does not count because somebody placed it on a calendar. Very encouraging. Also false.

Rest should not come with homework.

If today is a rest day, the app should not suggest an easy three-mile run two sentences later. Rest means rest.

Sometimes there is not enough data yet.

That is a valid answer. Better than turning three nights of sleep and one slow run into a dramatic announcement about your athletic future.

About the Lab

We started with articles.Then we got tired of complaining about running apps and built one.

Runner’s Lab HQ is a small independent studio making useful things for runners. We write clearly, build carefully, and try not to confuse more data with more truth.
