Sounds like this isn’t a compelling new release for many of you all but as a person with autism the training load feature is something I missed from Garmin. My interoception isn’t very keen and to have this help me train mindfully is nice, I’ve had a history of either under or over training because I can’t sense how my body is adapting.

This depends on the model, e.g., the non-entry level Forerunner series watches have had training load-related metrics for a while now. That said, Garmin is mainly a cardio watch, and by extension the Apple training load metrics seems to be giving a more presentable UX to the "default"[1] approach to cardio training load.

I’ve been using an awesome app called athlytic that takes this to the next level.
Thank you for sharing. Were you by chance diagnosed with a sensory processing disorder[1]?
