Subjective Cycle Readiness
Subjective cycle readiness blends sleep, soreness, mood, and cramps with phase tags—green days can train; red days deserve rest regardless of phase.
Subjective cycle readiness scores how prepared you feel to train—sleep quality, soreness, mood, cramps—alongside phase tags. Objective HRV helps but does not override sharp pain or heavy bleeding.
A green readiness day in the luteal phase can still host quality work; a red day in the follicular phase should rest.
Common questions
-
Should HRV override how you feel premenstrually?
Use both. Low subjective readiness with cramps or poor sleep warrants lighter work even if HRV looks acceptable one morning.
