DFA a1 in PeakElite: useful context, not a single rule
DFA a1 can be a useful context metric during aerobic work, especially when pace or power are shifting with terrain or conditions. In PeakElite it is treated as supporting context, not a standalone readiness decision.
How to use it well
- Anchor every day with the required morning resting baseline.
- Use DFA a1 trends to confirm session control, not to override all planning.
- Interpret with confidence and environment factors such as heat and travel.
This keeps the model practical: baseline first, context second, then a clear load recommendation.
