Did your training contribute to that injury?

Log a niggle or injury and myTF lines it up against your training history, so you can see what may have triggered it.

myTF can track running, cycling and swimming injuries. It even looks for multi-sport injury triggers based on the type of tissue involved and your activities.

How it works
add_circle Log it
Tap where it hurts, then say how and when it started. Past injuries work too.
troubleshoot Spot the triggers
myTF shows which training metrics were out of range in the weeks before it started.
monitoring Track your recovery
Rate it each day and see your recovery alongside your training.

Injury log & analysis is a Premium feature. Sign up free, then try Premium free for 7 days.

Example: runner's knee

Before this runner's knee started, cumulative overloadEstimates whether your ligaments and bones have had enough time to adapt to your training. and run elevation were in the red, while cadence was orange. The red 'onset' line indicates when the injury first appeared. Tap 'Elevation' or 'Cadence' above the chart to plot them, then explore the 'Triggers' tab.

Why keep an injury log?
insights See what provokes it
Easy runs are fine, but hills or intervals bring it back two days later? myTF makes patterns like that easy to spot next to your training loads.
medical_services Give your physio the full picture
Physios spend a good part of a first appointment reconstructing your training from what you can remember. Show them exactly what your training looked like before and after the injury appeared.
trending_up See progress when it feels slow
Some injuries improve so slowly it feels like nothing is happening. A severity chart heading the right way helps you stick with rehab.
