FR255 - Confused about recovery time

Patrick.arena 10 months ago

I am a bit confused about the recovery time: it says that I should not run but the garmin coach suggest a training day.

And also the other way round is quite common.

So which should I listen to?

Thanks

Recovery does not need to be complete rest. The best recovery is light training.

Or catch your dog or partner and go out for a casual walk to enjoy the winter weather

Thank you guys however there still is somethig I don't understand: if it says there is a consistent recovery time why does it suggest threshold interval training which in short means go to full speed?

Uma coisa não conversa com a outra. É importante você aprender ''ler'' seu corpo, se atentar em momentos de desgaste. Procure um treinador especializado em corrida e use o treinador garmin esporadicamente

A little addition to what I said is that .... whatever logic it follows, it works. I have had 47 VO2 max for all of my life and now it is 48. Not sure about what it means but I thin it is a good thing
