EvilPixie Jul 2024 4:37pm, 21 Jul 2024 56,148 posts	0 EvilPixie Yesterday Garmin told me to do 2hrs8 base but I did run to parkrun, walk parkrun, run home as 3 separate activities. Recovery afterwards was a suggested 31hrs having considered both runs as threshold and a total time on feet of nearly 3 hrs Today it said 2hrs9 (yes 1 min longer!) of base despite my recovery still saying 11hrs (it was green) So I’m not sure where it gets it’s suggestions from and I assume my fenix 6 isn’t intelligent enough to pay attention to what I did do or current recovery status!
Ness Jul 2024 4:42pm, 21 Jul 2024 43,227 posts	0 Ness My Forerunner 745 says "Recovery 12:30/mi for 34 minutes" as the suggestion for today. I opted for 53 minutes of running at a slightly faster pace.
Badger Jul 2024 4:47pm, 21 Jul 2024 17,282 posts	0 Badger @EvilPixie recovery is until you’re ready to do a really hard session all out, 11 hours and green band you’re good to go for pretty much anything.

SPR Jul 2024 6:48pm, 21 Jul 2024 45,335 posts	0 SPR As Badger said, 11 hours is basically recovered and anything goes. This link says that hard equals training effect of 3.0+ garmin.com

SPR Jul 2024 7:06pm, 21 Jul 2024 45,338 posts	0 SPR That's how I would treat it if using it, not something I've seen written anywhere. I don't know whether the Fenix 6 is one where suggestions change based on the recovery stuff. I know the 255 would change things based on what I'd done and recovery. Obviously how you feel etc is more important than a number on a watch even if it can be helpful in some circumstances and if you feel it would have been too much today then you made the right decision.
