After an 8 mile run this morning my training load went from 515 to 480(optimal to low). My recovery hours went from 10 hours to 64 hours. Not sure how this can be. Training load says go but recovery hours says rest! What am i missing here?
Post a link to the 8 miles run. What was your TE score? What was your average HR vs your max? The training load is just a measure of how much training you have been doing vs the previous 7 days. If your body hasn’t recovered then the recovery time will be long even if the training load is going down.
Ok, thanks for the response. I have been using the 935 for two weeks now and guess I just need to be patient and let the watch do its thing. I did also get my first Lactate Threshold number after todays run too! I hope to be able to quantify all these data points(LT,Vo2Max,Load,TE,Training Status,Recovery, etc..) and come up with a more effective training plan after a month or so.
Training Load can go down if today's run is replacing something with a higher load 7 days a go. Today's run could still be "hard" though and may still require a fairly long recovery.
Also important to note that the recovery hours does not necessarily mean complete rest but rather more not to go hard again. Of course you can (and often have to) ignore this. It will reassess your recovery hours on next run anyway and may well go down if it thinks you are OK after all.
Hi everyone. I am facing the total opposite. I use HRM Pro and Fenix S5 for crossfit training. For the past week my training load has been in the red zone, high. But my recovery time has been showing leass than 24 hrs after each workout and train as usual. It's not making much sense to me honestly
