First of all – please don’t do this at home!
We have found a lot of utility in the Acute to Chronic Workload Ratios (ACWR) that are part of the RunDNA App. Since we are always up for a little science experiment, we decided to test out the ACWR to see if it could give us a heads up before Doug got injured.
Sure enough, as soon as he tipped over 130% ACWR, Doug started having shin pain. Check out the video to see what he did to get injured (luckily it only hurt for a week), what he learned, and how he will keep it from happening again!
We invite you to read more about ACWR and Session RPE so you can properly manage training load and stay ahead of injury!
