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, but learns from your history. The calculation begins after 4 days of consistent input, becomes more reliable after 14 days, and sharpens again after 28 days. Instead of guessing how ready you are, the PEAK Score becomes a clear and evolving guide for smarter training and recovery decisions.
What do the Peak scores mean?
Above 100 means today you have a higher likelihood of hitting a PB.
80-99 means you’re in great shape and training should be intense.
60-79 means training intensity should be applied with caution and you should communicate with your coach as to how you are feeling.
Bleow60 means discuss with your coach as to what the best session is for today
What do I need to log daily?
Log your Wellness, Training Load, and sync your wearable Health Stats each day to generate the most accurate PEAK Score.
Remember to log all of your training load, not just the hardest session. Walking, mobility sessions, or even long periods on your feet during the day all contribute to your overall load.
Adding notes about your training session, how you felt during it, any recovery you completed, or any niggles you noticed helps give each entry more context. It also supports better self-reflection and clearer communication with your coach.
Why do I have to log daily?
The more consistently you log, the more accurate your PEAK Score becomes and the more meaningful your insights will be.
The system can tolerate the occasional missed entry, but consistency improves its ability to interpret your training and recovery patterns.
PEAK is designed to be the most efficient training, wellness, and communication tool for athletes, so building the habit of logging daily helps you get the full value from it.
What is the Wellness Score?
The Wellness Score comes from the daily wellness questions you answer and compares your responses to your own patterns over time.
The questions cover sleep duration, mood, recovery, sleep quality, stress, health, and a physical perception test. Questions are drawn from a rotating pool so the check-in stays quick and engaging. It takes less than 60 seconds to complete.
Research has shown that regularly monitoring these subjective signals often provides strong insight into how an athlete is coping with training. Tracking them daily helps you become more aware of how you feel and which areas may need attention.
Why is my Peak score different to my Wellness score?
Your Wellness Score contributes to your PEAK Score, but it is only one part of the calculation.
The PEAK Score also considers your recent training load compared to your typical training load (Workload Factor). If you have wearable integrations, objective data such as resting heart rate (RHR), heart rate variability (HRV), and respiratory rate (RR) contribute to the Heart-Lung Recovery Index (HLR), which also influences the score.
Together, these inputs provide a more complete picture of how your body is responding to training and recovery.
What is Training Load and why is it important?
Training Load is calculated using training time multiplied by effort. Because some activities are more demanding on breathing (for example running) and others place more stress on the muscles (such as strength training), PEAK asks you to rate two types of effort.
Logging training load consistently provides valuable insight into whether you may be overtraining or undertraining, and these patterns are reflected in your PEAK Score.
Can you explain the Training Load graphs?
The graphs allow you to compare your daily load to your weekly load, and your weekly load to your monthly load, helping you understand whether your training intensity is appropriate.
The graphs display 7-day and 28-day averages so you can easily compare your current load against recent trends.
You can review these with your coach, observe the trends yourself, or use the Wellness Wizard to explore deeper insights.
What is the Physical Test?
The Physical Test is part of the daily Wellness log. It may be a short test or a question about how you feel you are moving on that day.
You can perform this at a time that suits you. It typically takes between 10 seconds and one minute to complete and provides another signal of how your body feels from one day to the next.
Over time it helps you build awareness of how ready you feel physically for training.
What are the Health Stats?
If you have a wearable device, you can connect it to PEAK.app and your health data will sync automatically.
This improves the accuracy of your PEAK Score and allows you to track trends over time. If you do not have a wearable, PEAK is still fully functional - the system has been designed to work with or without one.
In the Graphs section you can monitor your health stats and compare them alongside your training load and performance for additional insight.
What is the Niggle section?
The Niggles section helps identify potential injuries early, before they become more serious.
If you notice a niggle after a session, log it so you can address it early with your coach or support team. Over time, these entries also help identify patterns that may assist with injury prevention.
What is the Recovery Section?
Recovery is an essential part of performance, but its effects vary from athlete to athlete.
Logging your recovery sessions helps PEAK understand which strategies support your readiness. Over time, you’ll begin to see which recovery methods have the greatest impact and when they are most effective.
Understanding your own recovery responses can become a powerful advantage.
What is the Performance Section?
The Performance section is where you record personal bests.
You can upload a video, note the conditions around the performance, and capture what contributed to that moment. PEAK then analyses the lead-up to these performances - including wellness, load, and readiness patterns - to help identify your optimal conditions through the PB Predictor (available in Premium subscriptions).
What is the Wizard AI?
The Wizard AI is a feature available in Premium subscriptions. It is built from more than 500,000 words of performance knowledge written by the PEAK medical team.
You can ask it questions about training, recovery, and performance optimisation, and it will guide you through an answer based on that knowledge.
As the system learns from your habits and training history, it can provide increasingly personalised insights to help support your health and performance.
