Workout Reserve Now in Your Dashboard

Train smarter with Athletica's Workout Reserve displayed in your Velocity Dashboard!

This is truly a game-changer! Just imagine how YOU can make sure that you don't overdo your group sessions. We know how addicting points hunting can be, and it is easy to push it a little too hard. We are all about making group training sessions individual to YOU, and Workout Reserve allows just that. When your WR shows 0%, you know you've just reached a new PR. You can walk away from the session and know you'll recover for tomorrow's session. Because the next session is the MOST important session.

Athletes Are Loving It!​
💬 “The perfect mix of structured training, expert coaching, and just the right amount of friendly competition. Velocity’s session engine keeps you engaged, accountable, and pushing to new levels. These are NOT show-up-and-chill sessions—everyone brings their best!”

Hello Reader You can now train with the same science-backed readiness system just validated in Scientific Reports. By tracking HRV, resting heart rate, and well-being together, Athletica helps you know when to push, when to hold, and when to rest—just like the world’s best endurance labs. That’s exactly the readiness triad we’ve been operationalising in Athletica for years, built on Dan Plews’ PhD work and a long line of studies showing how autonomic markers and subjective status can steer...

Hello Reader, On May 19, 2021 I published a simple piece: “Why Athletica.” It laid out a hope. That science, thoughtfully encoded, could help everyday athletes train well, stay healthy, and perform.
