Training and recovery

You're not training today. Today, Latu plans your season.

Latu runs no sales, on any day of the year. A rest day is part of training, just like every hard session. Use it to sit down and plan your season.

What research says about rest

  • Many training plans put in a lighter week every third or fourth week, with about 30 to 50 percent less volume. That is coaching practice. No study backs this rhythm, and we tell you so.Source

  • An easy spin or jog after a session helps against muscle soreness. On tiredness, the studies found no clear effect.Source

  • A night or more without sleep lowers performance. How much sleep you need is better judged by how you feel than by a fixed number of hours.Source

Whether you ride, run or stay on the sofa today is your call. With Latu, it always is.

Plan your season

Pick your race. For many races in 2027, the race pages show the Monday your block starts.

The race plan works out fueling and pacing for race day, free and without signing up.

In the app, Latu builds the block around your week, with your free days and your time. While you build up, every fourth week is lighter, and the plan changes only when you say yes.
