What happened to my Recovery?

lonzek 9 days ago

Hi guys,

Yesterday evening I had a quite intensive 10km run, and my watch suggested 95h of recovery. I considered it very high as so far the highest number I saw was 72h when I beat my PR in Half Marathon.

Today my Recovery is 0h though.

Is it even reliable?

If you <30 YO, had slept >9H, got a high sleep score it seems to be reliable... But it's only a gadget and I wouldn't take this score too seriously.

Same here. I did an Ironman 70.3 yesterday and it said I need over 90 hours of recovery after the race.

Today, it says 'Fully Recovered', even though I slept badly (which the watch correctly recognised) and my HRV was low and my RHR was high.

Training Readiness is >60 and the Garmin Tri Coach is already suggesting a new tempo workout for tomorrow.

global_local not taking it seriously for this price tag? I expect something reliable here from Garmin.

Did you update your watch after the race? I did after my training and I think it could affect my recovery (although it shouldn't)

Nope, but I did a restart.
