Training Load Ratio Spike Response
Training load ratio spike response cuts volume and swaps hard sessions when acute-over-chronic load jumps above roughly one point five—rebuild gradually instead of repeating the spike week.
Training load ratio spike response is what you do when acute load divided by chronic load jumps above roughly one point five—a pattern linked to higher injury and illness risk in research, not a moral failing on your watch. Cut next-week volume twenty to forty percent, swap one hard session for technique or zone-one work, and rebuild chronic load with small weekly steps instead of repeating the camp week.
Pair the ratio with leg feel and sleep, not the number alone.
Common questions
-
What training load ratio is too high?
Many coaches watch ratios above roughly one point five as elevated risk. Personal tolerance varies—pair the number with soreness, sleep, and recent illness before you train through a spike.
