Apple Watch training load.

With the advent of the latest Apple Watch operating system, watchOS 11, there’s one new feature I’ve been eagerly anticipating, the new Training Load metric. 

For years, the best Apple Watches have been all about getting you on your feet, out of your house, into the gym, and really doing as much exercise as humanly possible. With watchOS 11, Apple has finally introduced some key metrics and features to help you do less, including incorporating rest days into your training goals and the aforementioned Training Load metric.
