Recovery Time Delayed alert

7624431
over 3 years ago

12 months ago, a thread on this subject was created. I see no answer. Here is what happens: at random times, including when I first wake up in the morning after a good nights sleep, I get a Recovery Time Delayed message on my 6X Pro. Scrolling down, the recovery time is always in days, generally 4 days. In other words, the message is totally bogus. To figure out where this nonsense is coming from, I turned off my phone and disabled all connectivity (WiFi, BT, etc.) on the 6X. The message still pops up. So, it is being generated by the 6X itself. Any ideas on how to disable it?

    There is no known way to disable those.

    What I understand they are coming from the on device sleep tracking.

    But I didn't get what was your point why the message is bogus? If you have large amount of recovery needs the sleep most likely is also affected, so seems more like it's working like it should be.

    If your recovery time usually is in days you might need to check your heart rate settings. The watch thinks you are training really hard and need lots of recovery time. In which HR zones are you usually training?

    In mine, otherwise I don't get these messages anymore, is it because?

    Bogus because 4 days to recover makes no sense. Also, as with the post 12 months ago, this messages pops up first thing in the morning and at random times throughout the day. Almost always 4 days. I actually sent the first Fenix back and Garmin sent me a new one. New one also has that annoying message; so it is endemic. I seem to remember the message started showing up after a firmware update about 8 months ago.

    Recovery time usually means the time before a hard effort or session. Easy runs are fine to do between recovery periods. So you may rest completely, for example, in the first 48 hours and then do a recovery run. The recovery run will not add much, if any, time to the accumulated stress, depending on its length.

    Why does 4 day to recover make no sense?  

    I have gotten multiple day recovery needed after very hard races.  It just means time before it would be recommended for another hard effort (intervals, Threshold workout, race, etc).   You are not providing helpful feedback to the question you are asking.  Recovery time is based on your HR data and bodybattery/stress/sleep.  Are you seeing good HR and stress data that seems to jive with your effort and daily stress?  Are you wearing a strap or just wrist HR?  What types of training load are you at and load per activity?  
    What is your maximum HR and how did you set it?  What is your resting HR and how did you set it?  What is your monthly resting heart rate average?  What is your vo2max and last few weeks of training looked like?

    If you have a bad maximum HR entry (need manual entry from a full gas hard AF interval workout or the end of a hard as hell sprint at the end of a 2mi to 5k race... where the HR looks good preferably with strap).  If you have 150bpm max entered by Auto or just from a calc.... but your everyday runs you are running 60minutes at 145bpm avg... then your watch thinks you are killing yourself with super hard runs!  Which will be multiple days recovery and a also a low vo2max.  If you wear your watch too loose... it could be giving you a high stress during the day and poor recovery (even negative recovery).

    It makes total sense to me eg. after a race. So NickMN wrote a good one already, so maybe you could explain more as we don't understand your problem.

    Also after injury or being sick the recovery values are pretty high even without race compared to when it has adjusted to your normal training level.

    It is important to note I get this notice randomly, but NEVER after exercise. When I wake in the morning, even after a very good sleep, I generally, but not always, get the notice. I could understand 1 or 2 days recovery after strenuous exercise, but 4 DAYS after great sleep and no exercise the day before?  I can go for a major hike with Fenix tracking everything and get absolutely no recovery time notice for the rest of the day. But, the next morning - 4 days. Makes no sense.

    In thinking about this, if I have a bad sleep, I do not get the notice. The exact opposite of what should happen. For instance, I got my Moderna booster on Sunday and the reaction kept me from sleeping very well Sunday and Monday night. Volia! No Recovery Time Notice either morning.

    It is not supposed to come after exercise. It's supposed to come based on the sleep data in the day after the sleep.

    What is base for this? Your feeling or sleep score? What sleep score are we talking about? How about what does the body battery look? Did it get good charge?

    Well this is first point that sounds somewhat weird. Maybe you should ask that on the Fenix forum.
