I'd suggest seeing what it says after a night's sleep, Ness.

I’ve had 5 several times

Given what is happening now I expect it won’t increase like normal

I’d not be doing anything hard but a walk or recovery run maybe what your head needs regardless as to what garmin says xx

Good advice. Thanks, Welshpoppy and Pix. I'm thinking a short walk in the morning then taking the car into town to get breakfast. That will make it less stressful if I get a call from the hospital.

Time to worry is if it's still 5 in the morning! Mine was 5 last night, about 40 this morning, went with rest day anyway because the legs were grumbling after yesterday.

Pretty sure that 5 is just a display decision by Garmin, the underlying value would probably go a fair way negative for a hard enough day.

I also got the amusing

Training Readiness
1
Poor
Well Done!

for said hard session

The 5 will be reflective of the last 3 days of stress and poor very short sleep

Just take it easy but as I said sometimes your mental health is more important than the Garmin number generator but take it easy x

Mine often hits 5 and rarely charges above 80, i thought it would have changed my scale by now :)

Since 5 is low for you, see what it says in the morning before you choose what to do - but I'd have an easy training week as the stressful life stuff does take a toll.

Training readiness 1, poor.
- apparently I still need another 55 hours recovery

About This Thread

Maintained by EvilPixie
According to my Garmin this morning my body battery was at just 41 and I was "strained"
I have been strained for most days in the last 2 weeks
My body battery has also been low

So today it suggested a threshold run of up to an hour!

What's your Garmin say?
