About the wellness questionnaire

Adapted from the Hooper–Mackinnon and McLean wellness scales, this tool tracks acute changes in athlete readiness. A drop of 2+ points from your typical score, or any single metric at 1–2, warrants a training adjustment. Best completed first thing in the morning.

Frequently asked questions

Each metric is converted to a readiness value from 1 to 5 — higher always means better readiness. The five values are summed for a total out of 25, then grouped into high, moderate, or low readiness.

First thing in the morning, before training or caffeine, gives the most consistent and comparable results. Completing it at the same time each day builds a reliable baseline.

Any metric with a readiness value of 2 or lower is flagged. Flags highlight the specific areas — such as poor sleep or high soreness — that should guide how you adjust training.
