Monitor training load to make decisions based on science and data!!
If training load is enough to enhance training effects?
If training load is optimal to provide enough recovery to your body?
If training load is not too much not to cause injury and overtraining?
If training load is appropriate to perform your best at the competition?
If training load is not too little to not to cause detraining?
Training load might be one of the factor you need to change when………………
But, if you do not monitor training load, you do not know how much you need to change!!
