Train smarter with Readiness: optimize every ride
Apr 10, 2026
You glance at your training plan, and something in you hesitates. Maybe your legs are heavy, maybe sleep was rough, but the plan doesn't know that. Only you do. Readiness is built around that idea, helping you understand what your body is actually telling you so you can train smarter, not just harder. That’s where Readiness comes in.
What is Readiness?
Readiness is your daily check-in with your body. It helps you understand how prepared you are for today’s workout, before you even start.
It’s based on two simple inputs: how sore your muscles feel, and how well recovered you are. Together, these give you a clear picture of whether you’re ready to push, or whether it’s smarter to take it easy.
JOIN provides an estimated Readiness based on your recent training. If the estimate doesn’t match how you feel, you can adjust it. Because ultimately, your own perception is the most important signal.

Turning how you feel into better training
The real value of Readiness is not just in the score, but in what happens after. Once you update your soreness and recovery, JOIN adapts your training accordingly. That can mean adjusting the type, duration, or intensity of your session, instead of forcing a workout that doesn’t fit.
When you feel fresh, you can train with confidence and make the most of harder sessions. When fatigue builds up, your plan adjusts to protect your recovery. This balance is what allows you to stay consistent without burning out.
Building a smarter routine
Over time, these small daily adjustments make a big difference. Rather than guessing whether to push or hold back, you have a clear signal guiding your decisions. Hard days remain effective, easy days stay truly easy, and recovery becomes part of the process instead of an afterthought. As a result, your training becomes more consistent and more sustainable, which is what ultimately drives progress.
Making it part of your routine
With the new Home Screen, Readiness is now right at the top. As soon as you open JOIN, you can quickly check in before your workout and adjust your soreness or recovery if needed.
To keep your training accurate, make sure you complete your feedback first. If anything is missing, a red dot will remind you. After your ride, Readiness resets and will be ready again the next day, helping you stay in tune with your body, every session.
Combining Readiness with wearables
If you use a wearable like Whoop, Oura, Garmin, or Fitbit, you can use that data to support your Readiness. These devices provide useful insights, such as sleep quality and heart rate variability, which can help you better understand your recovery. However, they should complement your own feeling, not replace it.
If your device suggests you’re ready but your body feels tired - trust your body. When both align, you can move forward with confidence. The goal is not to follow numbers blindly, but to combine data with intuition.
Why Readiness matters
Training is not just about following a plan, it’s about applying that plan in the right way, on the right day. Without that adjustment, it’s easy to push too hard when you should recover, or hold back when you’re ready to perform. Both slow down progress. Readiness helps you avoid these mistakes by aligning your training with how you actually feel. Over time, this leads to better sessions, improved recovery, and more consistent progress.
