Training and recovery

Train hard.
Recover smarter.

Equil matches every session to how recovered you actually are.

Every session, earned.

From the first mile to the rest day, Equil tunes the work to your body.

Today's session, set for you. Intensity matched to how recovered you actually are.

Find your pace. Runs measured, from easy miles to hard intervals.

Into the hills. Hikes and trail walks logged, elevation and all.

Effort you can see. Heart rate and strain, live through every session.

Recover on purpose. A rest day when your body asks for one, not a guess.

Stronger every week. Every week, the trend that proves it is working.

Training and recovery

Why recovery makes you fitter

Hard training is only half the work. The speed, the strength, the endurance, they all land while you recover. Train without it and you just dig a deeper hole.

Where fitness is built

A hard session is a stimulus, not the result. Your body adapts to it during rest and comes back stronger than before. Skip the recovery and the adaptation never lands.

The cost of too much

Push hard every day with no easy days and progress stalls. Resting heart rate creeps up, sleep suffers, and effort that used to feel light starts to drag. That is overtraining, not dedication.

Load that adapts

Equil reads your recovery from your Apple Watch, then tunes each day's intensity to match. Hard when you are ready, easy when you are not.

Training and recovery

Training and recovery, answered

How does Equil plan my workouts?

Equil reads your recovery from your Apple Watch and suggests how hard to go each day. A well rested body gets cleared for the harder session, a tired one gets an easier plan.

Does Equil track running, cycling, and hiking?

Yes. The runs, rides, and hikes your Apple Watch records flow into Equil through Apple Health, with pace, heart rate, distance, and elevation.

What is training based on recovery?

It means matching effort to how rested you are. Instead of a fixed plan, the work shifts with your recovery, so the hard days land when your body can absorb them.

How do I know when to take a rest day?

When your recovery runs low, Equil flags it and eases the day. A rest day becomes a signal from your body rather than a guess.

Can Equil import my existing program?

Equil reads the workouts you record through Apple Health rather than importing a written plan. It learns from what you actually do and matches the next day to your recovery.

Does it work with Apple Watch workouts?

Yes. That is where the data comes from. Equil reads the workouts, heart rate, and recovery your Apple Watch captures through Apple Health and turns them into your daily plan.

Equil offers general wellness guidance using your Apple Watch activity and recovery data and does not diagnose, treat, or monitor any medical condition.
