A sample week

A week in Plover.

The week tape sets the scene, two findings surface with their evidence, and the feed shows every run behind them — the quiet days and the honest gaps included.

Illustrative example — not real data

This week, two things earned attention.

Ranked by evidence · quiet when nothing changed

Warning · performance signal

Your steps are getting shorter on easy runs.

Often an early fatigue sign — worth an easy day, not a diagnosis.

your usual1.141.161.181.2W1W4W6
Stride length at a matched easy pace, six-week trend

−4% over 6 weeks vs your usual · third easy run in a row

Serious · load signal

Saturday was your biggest single run in a month.

A large one-day jump is a well-supported reason to look closer — not a verdict about what happens next.

Recovery jog

5.0 km · treadmill · very easy

No data

Mechanics analysis unavailable — a treadmill run doesn't record the running dynamics this one needs. Nothing is estimated in its place.

SatJul 11

Long run

21.0 km · Riverside loop · steady

Serious · load signal

Your longest run in a month, and a real step up in a single day.

+34% vs your 4-week average · biggest single run in 30 days

Watching · recovery signal

Overnight heart-rate variability dipped the next morning. Plover is watching it — a recovery signal won't turn red without a performance signal to confirm.

Easy run

8.0 km · same easy pace

Warning · performance signal

Steps a touch shorter again — the third easy run in a row where they landed under your usual. This is where the week's finding comes from.

Intervals

6 × 400 m · track

Not compared

Too few interval days on record to judge this one fairly yet — needs a few more before Plover will compare it.

TueJul 7

Easy run

10.0 km · usual route

Quiet

Nothing moved. Stride and heart rate sat right on your usual.

Every card leads with the plain-English change, then the number and the window behind it. When Plover can’t compare fairly, it says so rather than inventing a baseline.
