Your Paceline Score updates every Monday. Each update is calculated from your latest eight weeks of data, so your score reflects patterns over time, not a single week. When it moves, the six signals behind it can show you why.

How to see what changed

1. In the Paceline app, tap Health, then tap Score.
2. Tap any metric card to see its detail, including your 8-week weighted average and your value for the current week.
3. Compare the two. The metrics where your current week is above or below your average are usually where the change came from.

Why did my score go up?

Something is working. A rise usually comes from steady changes in one or more of these:

• Sleep: more hours, or more consistent nights
• EHR Minutes: more time moving with your heart rate raised
• Steps: more everyday movement
• Strength: more strength sessions in your week
• Resting heart rate: trending lower over time
• Endurance (VO₂ max): trending higher over time

Because your score uses a rolling eight-week window, it can also rise when a quieter week from two months ago drops out of the calculation.

Take a moment to notice what felt steady this week. That's worth keeping.

Why did my score go down?

A dip usually means one or more signals moved the other way, like a few shorter nights of sleep, a lighter week of activity, or fewer strength sessions. Sleep and cardiovascular health carry the most weight in your score, so changes there tend to show up first.

Your score can also shift when a strong week from two months ago drops out of the eight-week window, even if this week looked similar to the last few.

Score looks off after Monday? If your device didn't sync before the Monday update, Paceline checks for new data every night. Your score will reflect that data the following morning once your device syncs.

Should I be worried about a dip?

No. A dip doesn't undo what you've built. One quieter week nudges your score. It doesn't define it.

Instead of focusing on the drop, use it as a starting point:

• Find the metric that moved. Tap into each card to see which input shifted.
• Pick one area to work on. Small, repeatable changes add up more than one big push.
• Let your goals do the planning. Personalized Goals are built from the same signals behind your score and focus on the areas that can make the greatest difference right now. Learn more in Personalized Goals.

Progress counts, even when it's small. Check in weekly and keep going.
