Yes, I think I’ve mentioned this above. If you do plan to do intensity on a yellow/red day, you have to make sure you take extra rest to repay the loan your body took out.
I think of it like spending on your credit card when you’re close to your limit. You have to adjust your spending habits to get back on track.
The closest thing I can think of to RLGL is TSB. Except that has a lot of shortcomings but it’s also almost 20 years old.
I like to think of the landscape like below. Where the x-axis is talking about today vs the future. And the Y axis talks about specially what you shoudl do to train vs a “go or no go” recommendation.
Adaptive Training is focused on today, and gives you very specific workouts tailored to your fitness level to achieve an overall goal you’ve put in the system.
Garmin gives some workouts, but they aren’t as tailored as ours. And Whoops are more general, focusing on what “percent” you are in a certain day.
Redlight Greenlight focus on future fatigue prevention and tells you exactly what to do.
TSB gives you a hint on that you might burn on in the future if you train with lower TSB, but it’s tough because everyone has different thresholds for what a good TSB is for them and you gotta figure that out yourself. Then TSB doesn’t give you any specific recommendation to do.
