Durata/Guide/Tracking your progress

Tracking your progress

Logging a workout takes seconds. The payoff is everything Durata builds from it automatically: a calendar of every session, analytics that spot trends you'd never notice, a board of personal records, and goals that forecast their own finish date.

None of it needs any extra input. Every completed set feeds History, Insights, the PR Board and Goals at the same time — this page explains what lives where.

History: your training calendar

The History panel opens on a month calendar — three months side by side on wider screens — with a dot on every day you trained, and a full-year heatmap below it so a consistent block of training (or a gap) is visible at a glance. Tap a marked day to open that session — its summary lists only the sets you actually completed, breaks them into a muscle split with a push/pull/legs balance, and marks any records with a trophy next to the value that earned it.

Past workouts aren't read-only. Open a session and choose Edit Workout to fix a typo, change a set's type, or add and remove sets after the fact. The same menu offers Share workout card (a shareable image of the session) and Save as New Routine, which turns any past workout into a reusable routine in one step.

Unilateral sets — logged one side at a time — always show their split, like 5 / 5, rather than a combined total, both in the session summary and while editing. Volume for these sets is counted once from that true per-side total, not doubled the way a genuine two-dumbbell bilateral set is.

The streak chip at the top mirrors the dashboard's, so the number always matches. A streak survives up to 3 rest days; the chip turns amber at 2 and red at 3 to warn you before it breaks. And if you've nothing logged yet, History doesn't just sit empty — it explains what will build up there and offers a Log Your First Workout button to get the calendar started.

Insights: four swipeable tabs

Insights splits analytics across four tabs — Summary, Strength, Volume and Program — and you can swipe left or right to move between them.

Summary is the health check: a weekly readiness score comparing this week's load to your recent average, your best session this month, a 12-week consistency score, training frequency charts, a time-of-day heatmap of when you actually train, and a this-week-versus-last-week volume comparison by muscle.

The Strength tab and estimated 1RM

Durata tracks strength through estimated 1RM (e1RM): the single-rep max implied by any set, calculated from weight and reps with the Epley formula. It's how 100 kg for 5 can be compared against 110 kg for 2 — and it's the same calculation on every screen in the app.

The Strength tab is built around it. Compare Exercises plots any lifts side by side over your chosen date range. The Strength Index adds up your Big 4 e1RMs — Squat, Bench Press, Deadlift and Overhead Press — into one number you can watch climb. A muscle-balance radar shows where your volume is skewed, and Near PRs lists every lift that came within 10% of a record in the last 4 weeks — exactly what's ripe for an attempt.

Did you know?

Anywhere you see a small ⓘ button — Weekly Readiness, Workout DNA, Strength Index, Near PRs, Strength Standards, the Imbalance Detector, ACWR, volume landmarks and the Recovery Score — tap it for a one-paragraph explanation of exactly how that number is worked out.

Volume, recovery and the Program tab

The Volume tab watches your workload. A muscle frequency heatmap shows sets per week per muscle over the last 12 weeks, and the ACWR chart (acute:chronic workload ratio) compares this week's volume to your 4-week rolling average, with the optimal zone marked — too high risks overreaching, too low means undertraining.

A fatigue and recovery card tracks volume load, RPE trend and frequency, gives you a single recovery score, and charts that score week by week over the last 12 weeks so you can see fatigue building or clearing. A deload recommendation watches four warning signals and says plainly when it's time to back off. If you sync sleep through Apple Health or Health Connect, it's folded into the score and a Sleep & Performance section shows how your volume differs after good and poor nights. The Program tab rounds things out with per-program analytics for whatever plan you're running.

The PR Board

The PR Board keeps one record card per exercise across three tabs: Est. 1RM, Best Weight and Volume. Each card shows the record, the set that produced it, and how much it beat your previous best by. The board remembers which tab you were on when you come back.

Volume records on dips, pull-ups, chin-ups and push-ups include your body weight (from your most recent weigh-in within 30 days), so an unweighted set of pull-ups can genuinely hold a volume record. Assisted variants score volume as body weight minus the assistance - and they never hold weight or e1RM records, because a heavier assistance stack is an easier set, not a stronger one.

Records are strict by design: warm-ups, partials and rest-pause sets never count towards weight or e1RM records, and your very first set of an exercise sets the baseline rather than being awarded as a PR — a record has to beat something. Sort by date, value or name, and use the filter button to narrow the board to one muscle group.

In Review: monthly and yearly reports

At the top of History sits In Review, a full report on any month or year you've trained. It opens on your most recent completed month, leads with a shareable recap card, then breaks the period down: a day-by-day training strip, total volume against the previous period, every PR you set, and your top lifts with how their estimated 1RM moved. Any program you ran that period is listed too, so you can jump into its own report.

The whole guide to reading a report, sharing it, and what every section means has its own page.

Reviewing the current month is fine: it's labelled 'so far' and fills in as you train.

Goals and the ETA forecast

You can set up to 10 goals across nine types: body weight, body fat %, max weight or estimated 1RM on a lift, reps at a given weight, cardio sessions, running distance, workout count and total volume — the count-based ones scoped per week, month or year. Pin up to 3 goals to your dashboard, and archive finished ones to keep the list clean.

Strength goals forecast their own finish date. Durata fits a trend line through your per-session bests for that lift and projects when it crosses your target — that's the date on the card, projected from your strength trend. With sparse history it falls back to a simpler estimate and marks it as rough; if your trend is flat, the card says 'Keep logging' instead of inventing a date.

Tap any goal card to edit it — the star in its corner (same as on routine cards) pins it to the dashboard or takes it off without opening the editor.

Common questions

How is estimated 1RM calculated?

From your best set using the Epley formula: weight multiplied by (1 + reps/30). It's the same calculation everywhere in Durata — logger, PR board, analytics and goals — so numbers always agree across screens.

Why didn't my set count as a PR?

Records are strict: warm-up, partial and rest-pause sets never qualify for weight or e1RM records, and volume records count partials as half-reps. The very first qualifying set of an exercise sets your baseline rather than earning a PR. If a heavy set didn't register, check its set type. Assisted pull-up and dip variants never hold weight or e1RM records at all - their progress shows up as volume instead.

Can I edit a workout I logged last week?

Yes. Open it from the History calendar, choose Edit Workout, and you can change weights and reps, switch set types, and add or remove sets — your PRs and analytics update to match.

What does 'rough' mean next to a goal's ETA?

The forecast didn't have enough consistent history to fit a reliable trend line, so it used a simpler estimate based on your progress since the goal was created. Keep logging that lift and it upgrades to a trend-based projection.
