EXTERNAL LOAD VS INTERNAL LOAD💥

Most runners are only looking at half the picture.
Distance, pace, elevation

These tell you what you did. They don’t tell you what it cost your body to do it. Two runs can look identical on paper and feel completely different physiologically, depending on your recovery, your stress levels, your sleep, where you are in your training cycle.

That gap, between what the data shows and what the body actually experienced, is where most overuse injuries quietly build. Not from one bad session. From weeks of external load looking fine while internal load tells a completely different story.

Start paying attention to both!

Your training plan doesn’t know you missed three sessions last week. It doesn’t know you ran Tuesday’s easy run at tempo pace because you were feeling good. It doesn’t know your sleep was wrecked, your stress was high, or that your body was working twice as hard as usual to hold the same pace.

It just keeps prescribing. Week after week. Regardless of what’s actually happening.
That’s the problem with generic plans. Not that they’re poorly designed, it’s that they can’t respond to you. And when life intervenes, which it always does, the plan becomes a guess at best and a liability at worst.

LODE looks at your acute load, chronic load, internal load, training phase, and heart rate trends, and recalculates your plan after every session based on what actually happened. Not what was intended. Not what the template assumes. What your body actually did and how it responded.

The coached athlete has always had this. A plan that adjusts to them in real time, built on how their body is actually responding week to week. LODE gives recreational runners the same thing.

Most recreational runners find out they’ve been overloading the same way I did: after the fact, with an injury that “came out of nowhere.”

The signs were there, but nobody was reading them (until LODE🤭)

Pain is always the last thing to show up. Everything else gets there first.
These five patterns show up in training data weeks before a patient walks into your clinic with a complaint. A load spike after a quiet week. Mileage quietly creeping above what was prescribed. Internal load climbing at paces that used to feel easy. None of it feels like an injury coming.

All of it looks like one in hindsight.

The frustrating part isn’t that these patterns are hard to spot. It’s that until now, you’ve had no way to see them between appointments. By the time your patient mentions something, the accumulation has already happened.

That’s the window LODE sits in. Real-time load data, visible throughout the entire rehab episode, so the conversation at the next appointment is about what the data showed, not just what the patient remembers.

Which of these do you see most often right before a patient re-presents with injury?

You know that feeling when a patient comes back in and you ask how training went, and you can just tell the answer you’re getting isn’t the full picture?

Not because they’re being difficult. Because they genuinely don’t remember. Or they’re downplaying the run that felt fine but probably wasn’t. Or they missed two sessions and tried to make up for it in a way that looked totally reasonable to them.

That gap, between what you prescribed and what actually happened, is where most return-to-run injuries are built. And until now there’s been no real way to see into it.

LODE connects to your patient’s wearable and shows you exactly how their load has been building between sessions. When something looks off, you can message them directly from the dashboard, send their exercises, adjust the plan. No waiting until they’re back in your clinic to find out the damage.

It’s the visibility you’ve always wanted between appointments. Finally an actual tool for it.

You’ve probably said it yourself. “Don’t increase your mileage by more than 10% per week.”

It’s not wrong advice. It’s just not a load monitoring strategy.

The 10% rule assumes every patient starts from the same baseline, responds to training stimulus the same way, and recovers at the same rate. But the runner coming back from two weeks off with a dropped chronic load base is not the same as the runner who’s been training consistently for three months. Prescribing the same percentage rule to both isn’t personalised care, it’s a heuristic standing in for data you don’t have.

What the research actually points to is the relationship between acute and chronic load, what your patient is doing now versus what their body has been prepared for over time. That relationship, and the rate at which it’s changing, gives a far more clinically useful picture of where your patient sits than any fixed weekly cap.

Sessions just 10% above a runner’s individual load baseline are associated with a 64% elevated injury hazard. Not a generic 10% mileage rule.
Their number, from their actual training history.
That data is already on their wrist.

LODE puts it in front of you.

Training load is one of the most evidence-backed concepts in sports science. And one of the easiest to overcomplicate when explaining it to patients

Two numbers. One gap. That gap is where most recreational running injuries are built, not from a single bad session, but from weeks of load accumulating faster than the body can absorb it.

The frustrating part? By the time your patient feels it, the window to intervene has already passed. Symptoms are a lagging indicator. The load imbalance that caused them isn’t.

LODE tracks acute and chronic load in real time so that gap is visible throughout the entire rehab episode, not reconstructed from memory at the next appointment.

Save this for the next time you need to explain training load to a patient💡

Your patient is tracking everything. Distance, pace, heart rate, every run logged, every session accounted for👟

And you still have no idea how their body is actually responding to it.

External load tells you what they did. Internal load tells you what it cost them. Most wearables only give you one. And most practitioners are making clinical decisions based on half the picture.

That gap, between what the data shows and what it means, is where overuse injuries are built. Sessions just 10% above a runner’s recent load are linked to a 64% elevated injury hazard (Just 10%!!!)

LODE combines external and internal load data so your patient’s training picture is complete, and visible to you between sessions, not reconstructed from memory at their next appointment.
