Cycle Day

Readiness

Push. Readiness 78, sleep 86 (great night), RHR 43 — all normal. HRV 94ms is below your ~100ms floor, but you're day 25/26, 2 days from period — classic late-luteal progesterone dip, not overtraining. No Oura tags (no alcohol/travel/illness) to discount. Train Day 1 as planned.

Watch For

Legs may feel heavier than usual on hip thrust/SLDL — late-luteal load, not a fitness regression, push through per plan. Pull-up avoidance streak is now 5 sessions — decide today whether to do it or formally swap it.

Nutrition

Late luteal + lift day: lean into protein (130g floor) and don't shy from extra carbs if hunger's up — Stacy Sims' late-luteal fueling window, not a lean-out day to fight.

18 km now
→ 32 km peak by Dec 27
Being at 18 km now is not a problem. A safe ramp needs ~5 weeks of building; you have ~14 (~9 to spare). The Pfitz block from Sep 14 is what drives it.

Log weight

Coarse guardrail only — weigh every week or two, morning before food. Don't chase the number; recomp and your cycle both move it.

Set training day

Overrides shift Run / Lift / Rest for that day deterministically — the brief respects them no matter what the default weekday would be. Use this for travel, schedule conflicts, or one-off swaps.
