Should I run today?
Learn how to train smart.
Training hard is not about running through pain, chronic fatigue, or emotional stress. Training hard is about running smart and knowing when to rest.
Use this free recovery assessment tool to evaluate your sleep, nutrition, stress, and soreness to decide whether you should train today or not.
It is free to use, anonymous, and no one is checking your answers. Your training decisions are about you, getting to know yourself, and trusting yourself to make the best judgement call every day.
Informed by experimental and empirical evidence. Designed by Thomas Solomon: a PhD scientist, an ACSM-certified Exercise Physiologist, and a UKVRN-registered nutritionist.
Important This tool does not substitute medical advice. If you are ill or injured, or unsure, always consult your doctor.
Important Your fitness is not defined by one single session. Your fitness is honed by a journey of well-considered and timely exercise stimuli coupled with adequate recovery in the form of good nutritional choices, adequate and high-quality sleep, and well-timed rest. Missing training for a day or even a few days will not delete your fitness gains. Instead, it is likely to lower your fatigue and reinvigorate your body and mind.
Share this tool with your people:Access to education is a right, not a privilege
Equality in education, health, and sustainability matters deeply to me. I was fortunate to be born into a social welfare system in which higher education was free. Sadly, that's no longer true. That's why I created Veohtu: to make high-quality exercise science and sports nutrition education freely available to folks from all walks of life. All content is free and always will be.
Every day is a school day.
Empower yourself to train smart.
Be informed. Stay educated. Think critically.
