=Quantifying monotony=
One approach<ref name="OTMonotony"/> to measuring monotony is statistically analyze the variation in workouts. The first stage is to work out a measure of the daily [[TRIMP]] ([[Training Impulse|TRaining IMPulse]]). From this daily [[TRIMP]] it's possible to calculate the standard deviation for each 7 day period. The relationship between the daily average [[TRIMP]] value and the standard deviation can provide a metric for monotony. The monotony value combined with the overall training level can be used to evaluate the likelihood of [[Overtraining Syndrome]].
