See your load before you overtrain.

Why load visibility matters

Planned, completed, and missed - all in one view

The load chart at the top of your calendar shows all three. You can see at a glance whether your week is on track or whether you've been skipping sessions.

Spot trouble before it becomes injury

A sudden spike in load is the most common cause of overuse injuries. Shape makes that spike visible before it happens with planned load, not after the fact.

Training stress that reflects real effort

Load is calculated from your actual workout data: duration, intensity, sport type. A hard threshold run and an easy recovery jog look different, as they should.

Trend over weeks, not just today

See how your cumulative load has built over the past weeks. That context is what separates smart periodization from guesswork.

Useful whether you’re

• Coming back from injury and need to build volume gradually
• Training for a race and want to make sure your taper actually tapers
• Stacking multiple sports and need to see total load across all of them
• Coaching yourself and want a gut-check before adding another hard day
