In this solo episode, Simon Ward breaks down six simple but powerful daily health metrics that can help you make smarter training and lifestyle decisions—without being overwhelmed by tech or data. And the best part is they are either free or very cheap to measure.

Whether you're an athlete over 50, a weekend warrior, or simply looking to better understand your body, these metrics offer valuable insights into your health, recovery, and overall performance potential.

Why They Matter

Tracking just a few of these each day can help you:

Spot illness or overtraining early
Make better decisions about when to train or rest
Understand the impact of lifestyle habits (like alcohol or poor sleep)
Build long-term resilience and sustainability

Simon also shares how many of his athletes have made lasting changes—like cutting alcohol—based on what these simple metrics revealed.
