All of a sudden recovery time is very long

At the begin of this week, my recovery has gone up. Normally it would be 18-48 hours.
Now I can hardly do a hard session, without the recovery going crazy. What normally would give me 24-36 additional hours (max) has given me 51.

Even a slow run (2.5 km at 7:10 min/km) gave be 24 hours Stuck out tongue That would normally not give me more than 1 hour or 2.

    I thought my recovery times had got significantly longer in the last week or so. I also got a recovery time of 51 hours from a Base run which was suggested by the watch, when I would have expected 24-36.

    My vo2 max has also been falling in the last week according to the watch, despite training several times in my normal pattern. This could be correct, but surprised me a bit too.

    Note: my watch is a 955, updated to s/w v23.20.

    My VO2max dropped with 23.20 but after a VO2max workout, came back up.  Not sure if it is the beta or my condition. recovery time for me seems normal.

    Interesting!  I thought it was just me???  My recovery times are reaching up to 70 hours!  Although, I sleep 7-8 hours per night the sleep mode indicates I need 9 hours+(sometimes) to refresh.  My VO2 has dropped from my usual 48 to 44 in the last 3 months.  My training and recovery routine hasn't changed.  I'm wondering if there is a software glitch??  Any thoughts?

    Same on my 955 since 23.20 update.  Easy run, 70 hours recovery.  I quit looking at recovery and readiness because both are telling me to never workout again.

    Can you please take a look at your heart rate zones (and time in zones) and max heart rate and see if they have changed or are not what would be expected?

    Hi Maeve, hr zones look good.  My last run did push my HR into higher zone.  What I see in stats is REM getting zero score multiple days this week causing sleep to list as poor with no recovery despite 7 hours of sleep.  That appears to be causing my recovery to climb.

    Sleep score and recovery metrics look more normal today.  I guess I will keep an eye on it, maybe I am coming down with a cold or something.  Thanks for your time.

    I see this thread is a few months old - but i am training for the Deadly Dozen fitness race at end of month - and doing some high intensity - in between surfing when i can. Suddnly a 30 minute skipping session is giving me 96 hours recovery!   A few weeks ago i had a flue typ virus and did not train but recovered got back into the training and the metrics seemed very consistent with the recovery that i felt and my speed and strength ( deadly Dozen - is a Hyrox type event) - then a few days ago i did a skipping session instead of my normal quite brutal work out for that day - and bang 96 hours revcovery - what i have notocwwd though is that i am over what Garmin thinks is my target times for zone 4 and zone 5 training and low on zone 2- can i re set the targets - or has garmin changed the alogorythm?

    I’ve also noticed what seems very long recovery for a short and very steady runs. Previous entries in this thread mentioned the 23.20 update, but the problem appears to persist as I’ve installed 24.12.
