Metrics

Paceva prioritizes metrics that help an athlete understand improvement, overreach, freshness, and data confidence.

Area	Primary metrics	Why it matters
Bike and run	Critical power, critical speed, W' balance, zones	Pacing, interval control, and hard-effort repeatability.
Swim	CSS, pace zones, SWOLF, stroke rate, stroke count	Aerobic pacing and efficiency across pool and open water.
Training load	Acute load, chronic load, balance, monotony, strain	Whether volume is productive, stale, or risky.
Recovery	HRV trend, resting heart rate, sleep context, readiness	How hard to push when the plan and body disagree.
Data quality	Missing power, poor GPS, unreliable HR, estimated inputs	Confidence before drawing conclusions from a session.
