Training Benefit refers to the effectiveness of your training session. By monitoring the training benefit of your workouts, you’ll learn how different types of workouts improve different areas of your fitness. This allows you to compare different sessions and see how they affect your overall fitness and performance. Training Load measures how straining your training is for your body, which helps you to estimate how your workouts affect your body, track progress and plan your training more effectively. Monitoring your training load allows you to estimate the time you need to recover from a particular session (or your fitness/sports watch measures and shows you your recovery status).
