I’ve been telling you for a while how I’m using technology to improve my well-being. Specifically, I’ve relied on ChatGPT to restart running and completed several half-marathon races before moving on to run actual marathon races. I use the Apple Watch to monitor my health parameters during exercise, races, and at rest and sleep.
I upgraded to the Apple Watch Series 10 from the Apple Watch SE 2 in September, as I needed better battery life and more health data points. The battery life bump was phenomenal and certainly an unexpected Apple Watch Series 10 surprise.
However, I did find a troubling ongoing issue. The Apple Watch Series 10 will routinely fail to record my heart rate during exercise, and I’m not the only one experiencing the problem.
More annoyingly, I discovered recently that the customizable running routines on the Apple Watch Series 10 can fail. I blamed it all on the wearable’s inability to register and record my pulse, though I cannot tell if that’s true.

I didn’t expect to find more issues with the Apple Watch’s ability to track my health and fitness, but I did. It turns out that Training Load, a new health feature that Apple introduced with watchOS 11 and iOS 18, is not registering actual training loads correctly.
That’s a problem if you use the new tools to adjust your training load. Also, if it happened to me, it’ll surely happen to you.
Here’s what my Training Load looks like for the past few weeks, and we’ll focus on the last few days:

Notice that huge drop? You might think I didn’t engage in any training sessions for at least a week. Workouts are down significantly, and so are walking and running activities. Let’s tap on that “>” arrow next to the “Well Below” rating:
A closer look tells the same story: I was lazy for about a week in April. Image source: Chris Smith, BGR
Yup, it’s really bad. “All Workouts” are “Well Below” for almost the entire month of April. Admittedly, I’m starting to pick it up.
What if we change the “All Workouts” menu item to All Day? Let’s see the new graph:
Unless I wasn’t lazy, and the Training Load graph was lying all along. Image source: Chris Smith, BGR
O.M.G! What is that massive spike that’s practically contradicting the “All Workouts” graph that I get to see in the Fitness app on the iPhone or the Activity app on the Apple Watch?
I can absolutely explain it. My walking and running were lower than usual in the second week of April because I went skiing. Well, make that snowboarding.
I registered all my snowboarding sessions with the Apple Watch Series 10, and I did it without fail. That’s how I know I’ve snowboarded some 150km (100 miles) over seven days at altitudes ranging from 2,300m (7,546 feet) to over 2900m (9514 feet).
That sort of exercise, combined with the higher altitudes, puts a lot of pressure on the body. I won’t complain, because it was all great for said body. The snowboarding sessions will certainly complement my running routines, as they forced me to use my muscles, joints, and brain in different ways.
What I will complain about is the Apple Watch’s inability to accurately portray my Training Load. It’s mind-boggling that the “All Workouts” section doesn’t take into account, well, all the workouts, including snowboarding. That means Training Load is unreliable unless you go to the “All Day” menu, as I did.
Here’s how Apple described Training Load last summer when it unveiled the feature:
Apple Watch will establish a 28-day training load, a weighted average taking into account both the effort ratings and duration of users’ workouts over this period. In the Activity app, users can see how their training load for the most recent seven days compares to their 28-day training load, classified as well below, below, steady, above, or well above. This helps indicate if the current strain on their body is ramping up, staying the same, or easing off so they can adjust their training for the best results.
Training Load is supposed to be a great algorithm for helping with fitness goals. A look at the graph could be enough to determine whether you need to go hard on your next run or strength training session or take a break to recover.
Judging by the main graph I see in the Fitness app, the first screenshot above, I should be pushing hard because I am well rested. The truth is that I am rested. But I’ve been pushing hard, according to the third screenshot. The truth is that I have been pushing hard while snowboarding.
This discrepancy shows that Apple’s algorithms aren’t working correctly. If Training Load fails to take into account my week of snowboarding when determining the “All Workouts” graph, it will probably do the same thing with other activities that aren’t running or walking. It might mislead some people into thinking they’ve rested enough when they haven’t. This could lead to accidents and injuries.
Then again, you shouldn’t rely just on software like the Training Load to determine your well-being. Listen to your body, and take rest days after intensive activity even if the Apple Watch thinks you’re fine.
As with my other Apple Watch Series 10 complaints, I’m still on the watchOS 11 beta rather than the stable version. But that can’t be the reason why Training Load is clearly displaying incorrect data. Hopefully Apple will fix the issue by the time I hit the slopes again, which won’t be for another year or so.

SDSU Athletics Announces Launch of Student-Athlete Recruitment and Retention Fund
SAN DIEGO — San Diego State Athletics proudly announces the launch of the Student-Athlete Recruitment and Retention Fund, a bold initiative designed to elevate Aztec Athletics as we enter a new era of college sports.

SAN DIEGO — San Diego State Athletics proudly announces the launch of the Student-Athlete Recruitment and Retention Fund, a bold initiative designed to elevate Aztec Athletics as we enter a new era of college sports. This fund will play a critical role in strengthening our ability to recruit, retain, and support top-tier student-athletes as we prepare to transition into the Pac-12 Conference. All contributions are tax-deductible.
As the college athletics landscape evolves, particularly with the passing of the House Settlement that was approved earlier today (June 6, 2025), this fund ensures SDSU is prepared to meet the future head-on. With the implementation of the House Settlement on July 1, 2025, universities will be permitted to directly share revenue with student-athletes, in exchange for licensing their NIL, in addition to continuing to offer scholarships, housing, meals, and other essential benefits. Revenue sharing for schools will be capped at approximately $20.5 million in 2025-26, with increases in subsequent years.
San Diego State is committed to making forward-thinking investments that support the holistic development of our student-athletes. The Student-Athlete Recruitment and Retention Fund is the first step of significant investments we will make to remain competitive in this new chapter, ensuring that Aztec Athletics continues to thrive both on and off the field.
“As we prepare for our entry into the Pac-12, this fund is a vital step in ensuring we continue to compete for championships while also aligning SDSU Athletics with the future of college sports,” said SDSU director of athletics John David Wicker. “Our student-athletes deserve the very best, and this initiative allows us to directly invest in their experience while sustaining the proud tradition of Aztec excellence.”
Building on a Strong Foundation We are incredibly grateful for the impactful work of the MESA Foundation and Aztec Link, whose leadership has driven tremendous progress in the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) space over the past several years. Their efforts have empowered student-athletes and their families with life-changing opportunities and helped SDSU remain competitive on the national stage.
Through collaboration with Aztec NIL, SDSU’s internal name, image, and likeness department, both collectives will continue to play a vital role moving forward by creating partnerships with businesses, charitable causes and through unique fan engagement opportunities. As the Student-Athlete Recruitment and Retention Fund comes online, MESA Foundation and Aztec Link will remain essential to SDSU’s NIL fundraising strategy, complementing our overall approach to the student-athlete experience.
How the Aztec Nation Can Get Involved If you’ve previously supported NIL efforts through MESA Foundation or Aztec Link—thank you! As we navigate this new era, we have created an FAQ document to help cover common questions. When we learn more from the ruling and corresponding NCAA rule changes, we will update this link for FAQs.
Here’s how you can continue supporting Aztec student-athletes in this next phase:
Continue your support through existing NIL channels to help create opportunities in our community for student-athletes.
Make a donation or commit to a pledge to the Student-Athlete Recruitment and Retention Fund
Purchase season tickets to our ticketed sports as another way to increase revenue that can be shared with student-athletes.
Make your gift today and help lay the foundation for our future in the Pac-12. Contributions to the Student-Athlete Recruitment and Retention Fund will also count toward exclusive donor recognition programs, including your Aztec Club priority points. If you’re interested in providing leadership-level support or have any questions, please contact the Aztec Club at (619)-594-6444 or aztecclub@sdsu.edu.
Supporters of MESA Foundation and Aztec Link will receive more information in the coming weeks about opportunities to continue supporting NIL while also participating in this new fund.
About San Diego State Athletics San Diego State Athletics is dedicated to excellence in academics, competition, and personal growth for all student-athletes. With our move to the Pac-12 Conference in 2026, Aztec Athletics is poised for unprecedented opportunity and national prominence. This is more than a moment—it’s our future. And it starts now.
Texas State track and field reflects on successful season – The University Star
From sweeping the Sun Belt Outdoor Conference Championships to ranking inside the top 25 in the nation, the Texas State track and field season has been a success. The Sun Belt Conference Track and Field Coach of the Year John Frazier believes that the team’s success stems from consistency. “It’s a lifestyle, no one is […]
From sweeping the Sun Belt Outdoor Conference Championships to ranking inside the top 25 in the nation, the Texas State track and field season has been a success.
The Sun Belt Conference Track and Field Coach of the Year John Frazier believes that the team’s success stems from consistency.
“It’s a lifestyle, no one is perfect but if you are doing the right things most of the time, you are more likely to be successful,” Frazier said. “Getting to bed early, eating right, making good decisions, staying on top of studies and going to the training room, all of these things play into the team’s success.”
With this mentality at the forefront, the Bobcats were able to reach new heights, such as the aforementioned sweeping of the Sun Belt Outdoor Conference Championships. This marked the first time in program history that both the men’s and women’s team won the outdoor championship in the same season.
A Bobcat who made a huge impact this season was multi-sport athlete Drew Donley. In his first season of collegiate track, Donley earned the Sun Belt Men’s Newcomer of the Year honor.
“I went straight from football season to track season, me and all my track teammates worked really hard, it’s not just me, we all pushed each other to be better,” Donley said. “I didn’t really come in with any expectations because I had no idea what to expect, instead I just worked as hard as I could and prayed to God about the season. It has been a blessing and a lot of fun but we aren’t done yet.”
Donley emphasized that winning in a team setting was a little sweeter than just winning a solo event such as the 200m.
“Both men’s and women’s side, everyone had a really good meet [Conference Championships Outdoor] and it was just cool to see everyone doing good at their own event and it coming together as a team,” Donley stated. “Honestly it felt better winning as a team more so than just winning the 200 or the one, it was really cool to see the hard work that the team put in pay off and win as a team.”
Melanie Duron, a shot putter and the only Bobcat to ever win the shot put at the Outdoor Championships in back-to-back seasons, described the team as more of a family rather than peers.
“There are a lot of track teams that are divided but we are really united, and the support that each and every one of us gives one another is amazing,” Duron said. “After seeing the hard work and effort being put in by both the women and men, I had no doubt that we could sweep the Outdoor Championships.”
What House v NCAA Settlement Means For Boston College
Another change is officially coming to college athletics. Late Friday night, Judge Claudia Wilken granted the House v. NCAA settlement which will give schools the opportunity to participate in revenue sharing which lets them directly pay student-athletes, put in place roster limits, and more. “This is an exciting moment for everyone involved in college sports,” […]
Another change is officially coming to college athletics.
Late Friday night, Judge Claudia Wilken granted the House v. NCAA settlement which will give schools the opportunity to participate in revenue sharing which lets them directly pay student-athletes, put in place roster limits, and more.
“This is an exciting moment for everyone involved in college sports,” said NCAA president Charlie Baker in an open letter on Friday night. “As the defendant conferences now own several facets of rulemaking and enforcement related to specific settlement areas, the NCAA will be able to move away from certain enforcement activity that, despite the best efforts of many, wasn’t working well. Rather, we will focus on further enhancing what is working: elevating the student-athlete experience and maintaining fair playing rules and eligibility and academic standards. Student-athletes will benefit from the rich opportunities they enjoy now, plus far more scholarship opportunities, landmark financial benefits and a streamlined NCAA to support them.”
So what does that mean for Boston College moving forward?
One of the biggest components of the settlement is that schools can directly pay players starting on July 1. In the first year of the new change, the pay limit for schools that choose to pay players will be capped at approximately $20.5 million and will increase each year.
If Boston College agrees to partake in the revenue sharing, it gives the school the chance to pay players competitively and similarly to other big programs in the ACC in certain sports. That can help with picking up players out the transfer portal and can be a big tool in recruiting by getting top talent to take a look at Chestnut Hill. It could also potentially help keep players from entering the portal.
Another big part of the settlement is roster limits. The historic decision increases scholarships for a majority of collegiate sports, however has a maximum limit on how many players can be on a team.
Some of the bigger increases in the roster limits include baseball which went from 11.7 to 34, women’s lacrosse which moved up to 38 from 12, men’s and women’s track and field which both saw an increase of at least 27, and men’s and women’s soccer which both went up by at least 14.
Including the programs previously mentioned, Boston College’s men’s and women’s hockey teams will also be benefited with an increase of eight scholarships apiece (26 limit) as well as softball which had an increase of 13 scholarship spots.

“Yes, this all means change, and change at this scale is never easy,” said Baker. “This is new terrain for everyone. Given the defendant conferences’ new ownership of complicated pieces of rulemaking and enforcement, there will be a transition period and certainly bumps in the road. Opportunities to drive transformative change don’t come often to organizations like ours. It’s important we make the most of this one. We have accomplished a lot over the last several months, from new health and wellness and academic requirements to a stronger financial footing. Together, we can use this new beginning to launch college sports into the future, too.”
Manheim Central drops Dock Mennonite Academy, barrels into PIAA Class 2A volleyball semifinals | Boys’ volleyball
There are four areas you must have covered when it comes to constructing a championship volleyball team. A handsy, see-the-whole court, traffic cop, pinpoint setter is a great start.

There are four areas you must have covered when it comes to constructing a championship volleyball team.
A handsy, see-the-whole court, traffic cop, pinpoint setter is a great start. Plus a defensive-minded, get-on-the-floor libero to dig everything out in the back.
Then you have the pin-hitters. The jumping-jack guys on the outside who can tee off and blast kill after acrobatic, power-swing kill.
But if you really want to go deep — think navigating a playoff bracket, littered with landmines — you better have a couple of sturdy middles. The tall guys in the front row who will sacrifice their hands to get all-important blocks, and chip in with some booming kills of their own.
Manheim Central is covered in all of those areas. Saturday, the Barons leaned on their trusty middles, who put on a show.
Blake Neiles, who goes 6-foot-3, dominated at the net with seven kills and five clutch blocks, 6-foot-4 all-star Landon Mattiace chipped in with seven kills and three blocks, and the Barons downed Dock Mennonite Academy 3-0 in a PIAA Class 2A quarterfinal at Cocalico in Denver.

Set scores were 25-14, 25-17 and 25-12, as Central did, well, Central things. The Barons — who will take on familiar foe York Suburban in the state semifinals on Tuesday, site and time to be announced — got contributions from everyone around the rotation, particularly Neiles and Mattiace in the middle.
“For a middle, our main job is blocking and getting the ball out to our hitters, and then putting up a wall,” Neiles said. “I’ve had some ups and downs, and my blocking isn’t always the best. But I always try my best.”
Neiles was at his absolute best against Dock Mennonite. The Pioneers, out of Lansdale in Montgomery County, had very few answers above the net on Saturday — which featured a 10 a.m. start because Dock Mennonite had graduation later in the day.
“Blake blocked extremely well,” Central coach Craig Dietrich said. “And he got a lot of touches, even if he didn’t get the block. We got a lot of contributions in the middle from him and Landon.”
When those two are wreaking havoc up front, the Barons (22-1 overall) give everyone headaches.
“If we can get our middles going, we’re kind of unstoppable,” said Central libero Colin Rohrer, who had nine digs Saturday. “Landon jumps so high, and he can pretty much swing over anybody. And when Blake gets hot, he’s pretty hard to stop.”
Dock Mennonite, the District 1/11 sub-regional champ, which survived an 11-match losing skid to make the postseason, simply could not contain Central’s dynamic duo in the middle.
“If that block isn’t there, then they can swing wherever they want,” Rohrer said. “We happen to have a really good block, so that makes it easier to play defense. Blake had so many great blocks today. He was going crazy.”
Dock Mennonite (7-16) hung around early in the first set. It was 7-7 when Central, the District 3 champ, pounced. Reagan Miller’s kill got the Barons rolling. Then came back-to-back slams by Caleb Groff and Mattiace, and Central seized control.
The Barons — who fell to Dock Mennonite in the state quarterfinals in 2022 — pushed their lead to 20-11 on Neiles’ block, before Miller and Neiles had kills.
Miller (8 kills, 4 blocks) closed out the first set with a blistering ace and Central, the reigning L-L League runner-up and at No. 2 in the PVCA Class 2A state rankings, was quickly up 1-0.
It was 6-6 in the second set when the Barons found another gear. Mattiace had a kill, Neiles had back-to-back blocks — he completely bottled up the space above the net throughout — and Miller’s block polished off a 5-0 run and Central was up 11-6.
Later, the Barons had a 4-1 clip — featuring kills by Neiles and Mattiace and a block and an ace by Miller — for a 17-11 cushion. And Central, the three-time reigning L-L League Section 2 champ, closed out the second set when Mattiace had a kill, and Neiles had two slams for a cozy 2-0 lead.
Central went for the jugular in the third, with Neiles delivering consecutive kills for an 8-4 lead. Miller’s ace gave the Barons a 10-5 cushion. And Central sewed it up thanks to kills from Groff (7 kills), Neiles and Weston Longenecker, a setter dump from Musser — he had five of those, plus 25 assists — and Mattiace’s ace.
“I had one goal, and that was to help us get back to the state semifinals,” Neiles said. “That’s everyone’s goal. Now it’s one game at a time.”
Starting Tuesday against York Suburban, which topped District 2 champ Holy Redeemer 3-0 on Saturday. The Barons have already blanked the Trojans twice this season: 3-0 in a nonleague match back on May 5 in York, and 3-0 in the district title match on May 29 in Manheim.
The rematch is for a trip to the Class 2A state championship next Saturday at Penn State’s Rec Hall.
Tuesday’s other semifinal will pit District 10 champ Meadville — which topped Central in last year’s PIAA finale — against WPIAL winner Shaler.
Meadville KO’d Ambridge 3-0 and Shaler blanked Brandywine Heights 3-0 on Saturday.
