THE PLAIT GUIDE
Use training trends without letting a score run your schedule
Plait provides wearable context and a meal plan. It does not diagnose overtraining, prescribe a deload, or generate a validated competition taper from your recovery score.
Inspect the activity label
Today’s activity may be partial. Compare completed days when looking for a trend, and distinguish a provider’s direct reading from a Plait estimate. Garmin estimated strain is not a WHOOP strain measurement. Missing activity should not be interpreted as a completed rest day.
Keep your training plan visible
Use your actual training schedule, how you feel and guidance from your coach when deciding what to do. Plait’s suggestions to keep activity manageable or review trends are general prompts. They do not choose strength versus cardio, decide the best workout time, or prescribe mobility and warm-up protocols.
Prepare food around the schedule
Use your saved meals as the starting point for groceries and preparation. A light workout does not trigger an automatic calorie cut, and a harder day does not silently regenerate your plan. If the goal or profile is wrong, update it explicitly and review the next generated target. For a specialized event plan, use event-specific professional guidance.
