What is the Peak Score?
Your PEAK Score is a daily indicator of how close you are to your peak form. It blends multiple inputs to show not just what you did, but how your body is responding. The score is built from three main pillars:
Wellness data: your self-reported sleep, stress, recovery, mood, soreness, a physical test and overall health.
Training load: the stress of today’s and recent sessions, adjusted for duration, intensity, and activity type.
Objective signals : if you use a wearable, the app can sync resting heart rate (RHR), heart rate variability (HRV), and respiration rate (RR).
Importantly, PEAK Score isn’t static - it learns from your history. The calculation begins after four days of consistent input, becomes more reliable after 14 days, and sharpens further after 28 days.
Instead of guessing, PEAK Score gives you a clear, evolving compass for smarter training and recovery decisions.
What do the Peak scores mean?
Above 100: You have a higher likelihood of performing at or near your best.
80–99: You’re in strong condition and can generally train with higher intensity.
60–79: Apply training intensity with caution and check in with your coach.
Below 60: Consider adjusting training and discuss the best approach for the day.
What do I need to log daily?
To get the most accurate PEAK Score:
Log your Wellness
Log ALL Training Load (including light activity, like walking, mobility or any time you're on your feet)
Sync your wearable health data if available
Adding session notes, recovery activities, performance reflections, and any niggles improves insight and supports better communication with your coach.
Why do I have to log daily?
The more information you log, the more accurate your Peak score becomes and the more meaningful your insights will be.
Missing occasional days is fine, but consistency improves personalisation and predictive power.
What is the Wellness score?
Your Wellness score comes from daily wellness questions covering sleep duration, mood, recovery, sleep quality, stress, health, and a physical perception check. Questions are rotated to keep logging quick and engaging, and it takes less than 60 seconds.
Regular monitoring helps you stay aware of how you’re feeling and often provides early signals before performance changes occur.
Studies have also shown that regular monitoring of these wellness indicators gives better insights than using wearable data.
Why is my Peak score different to my Wellness score?
Your PEAK Score includes today’s Wellness but also compares it to your recent history (28 day average).
It also considers:
Recent vs typical training load (Workload Factor)
Objective data like resting heart rate (RHR), heart rate variability (HRV), and Respiratory Rate (RR)
Your Heart-Lung Recovery (HLR) index, based on the above
This broader view explains why the scores may differ.
What is Training Load and why is it important?
Training Load is calculated using:
Training time × effort
Because some activities stress breathing more (e.g. running) and others stress muscles more (e.g. strength training), PEAK asks about both respiratory and muscular effort.
Tracking load helps identify whether you may be undertraining or accumulating excessive stress, both of which influence your PEAK Score.
How should I use the Training Load graphs?
Use graphs to compare:
Daily vs weekly load
Weekly vs monthly load
7-day vs 28-day averages
Look for trends and discuss them with your coach or explore insights within the app using the Wellness Wizard.
What is the Physical Test?
The Physical Test is part of your daily Wellness log. It may be a short movement check or a perception question about how you feel physically.
It takes between 10 seconds and one minute and helps track day-to-day readiness.
What are the Health Stats?
If you connect a wearable, PEAK will sync physiological data automatically, improving accuracy and allowing you to track trends over time.
If you don’t use a wearable, PEAK still works - wearable data simply adds additional context.
In the Graphs section you can monitor your Health stats and compare it to your load and Performance for extra insight.
What is the Niggle section?
The Niggles section helps identify early signs of potential injury. Logging issues after sessions allows you and your support team to address them early and detect patterns over time.
What is the Recovery Section?
Recovery is highly individual. Logging recovery activities helps you understand which methods have the biggest impact on your readiness and performance over time.
What is the Performance Section?
Record those Personal Bests here! You can insert images and/or video, and write down what led to this being your best ever performance so we can learn from this in the future.
PEAK analyses what led up to these performances to help identify your optimal preparation patterns via the PB Predictor (available on eligible subscriptions).
What is the Wizard AI?
The Wizard AI is a premium feature trained on extensive knowledge from the PEAK medical team. You can ask questions about training, recovery, or performance, and it will provide guidance based on best practice and your data.
Over time, it learns your patterns to deliver increasingly personalised insights.
