Conflicting Advice: "Risk of Overtraining" vs "Increase Load for Progressive Overload"

General

Hi Team,

I encountered a confusing situation on my calendar for my scheduled session on Dec 17. I am receiving two contradictory messages for the exact same workout:

  1. The Session Warning (Red Triangle): It states that my “Fitness and fatigue is not optimal” and warns of a “high risk of overtraining,” suggesting I move or delete sessions.
  2. The Reason for Change: However, the session details indicate an “Increase in training load to ensure progressive overload.”

My Question: It seems the adaptive planner wants to push me harder (Progressive Overload), but the safety monitor is flagging that I am too fatigued. Which recommendation takes precedence in the algorithm logic? Given the “High Risk” warning, should I manually delete this session, or is the “Progressive Overload” calculation overriding the fatigue warning?

I have attached the screenshots for reference.

Thanks!

I had the same issue several times. In my opinion that’s a bug, so just rely on your personal feelings as usual.

I’ve also had this a few times.

I’d say listening to your body is the main thing. If you feel a bit tired then reduce (The workout wizard can help with this) or remove the session. If you feel okay then crack on.

It can also be good to move the session back a day (as long as you don’t think it will have too much impact on further training.
