Recovery time after a short easy walk makes no sense

This evening i did a short walk and recorded it with my watch. After saving the walk i said 54 hours recovery time. TE aerobe 0,6 anaaerobe 0,0 average heartrate 88 bpm. Recovery time 54 hours and further no activities. So what went wrong?

Did you check your recovery time before the walk? The times are additive from previous recovery times. also depending on your fitness level and training history i think that would effect your recovery as well. (vo2max and optimal training load.... vs the training load of walk) Just a few things worth considering

My 2 cents is it seem to not exactly be additive, but your current recovery time *seems* to be the max of:

- Previous remaining recovery time

- Recovery time for current activity

I say this based on the fact that IIRC, if you do an easy activity shortly after a very hard activity, your recovery time doesn't change at all.

e.g.

- Say I run a 10K race and my recovery time is 40 hours or whatever

- Immediately after I run a 1K recovery run that normally gives me a recovery time of 2 hours

IIRC, in this case, you'll still see that your recovery time is 40 hours (as opposed to 42).

At least that's my impression of how it works for 935. I could be wrong tho.

Thanks for the insights. I take a look at my previous activities
