Jingle Jaks 5 Dec 12:40pm, 5 Dec 2024 9,779 posts	0 Jingle Jaks After my run this morning I’m now productive rather than overreaching. RHR 49 HRV Balanced TL High SS 59 Poor (disturbed night) BB 86
EvilPixie 5 Dec 1:01pm, 5 Dec 2024 59,896 posts	0 EvilPixie I was overreaching last night but maintaining today. Obviously this is because I had a rest day yesterday as garmin suggested (I’d ignored the rest suggestion for a few days!)
Rosehip 5 Dec 1:07pm, 5 Dec 2024 33,853 posts	0 Rosehip Back to maintaining, which will do for now. BB had charged up to 96 as I managed to sleep in until 9 and got 8 1/2 hours sleep
Ness 5 Dec 1:21pm, 5 Dec 2024 46,599 posts	0 Ness Currently my stats are.... Body Battery - 60 now and was 86 when I first got up. The app says..."Your Body Battery increased 56 points while you slept. You have good energy levels for getting active today if desired." VO2 max - superior 47 Training status - "maintaining" - High Aerobic Shortage Load - optimal 960 Sleep Score - good for 6h 52m shorter than ideal but "plenty of deep" sleep. HR - resting - 45 Today's training suggestion - Base 10:25/mi 45:00... Not quite but almost there today. Maintaining will do for me too.
SPR 7 Dec 10:08am, 7 Dec 2024 46,797 posts	0 SPR Raptors claws are coming to town wrote:HRV still Low, training status Strained, and my watch suggests 59min with 10 x 40s at 6.25mm. Next time this comes up, it would be interesting to see what the justification is. I believe if you scroll down on each suggestion it gives some text justification for the suggested session. My training status is currently paused as I work back to full fitness but it was funny to turn it on today to find it thinks I'm peaking because I've had four days off running (today likely to be the fourth day off). The thing is, it correctly picked up on the issues that led to the days off but seems it didn't then make the logical conclusion (TBF may be related to HRV dropping while I was injured so baseline not back to where it was). Here's the Garmin correctly picking up I was pretty ill on Wednesday via the stress metric.
SPR 7 Dec 10:09am, 7 Dec 2024 46,798 posts	0 SPR Body battery was at 5 pretty much all day as well.
Rosehip 7 Dec 10:20am, 7 Dec 2024 33,869 posts	0 Rosehip today's suggestion - rest status: well rested, hrv balanced, acute load optimal (but low for me after time off), stress medium, sleep scores fair, rhr typical 39. Has it seen the weather? is that why it suggests rest? or is it to give me a better chance at the 'tempo' run that I 'failed' yesterday but it's determined is reasonable to prescribe? - actually, the pace has dropped from 10:30 to 10:40 - and I note it's back to a pace target when it's set to hr .
Raptors claws are coming to town 7 Dec 10:20am, 7 Dec 2024 72,448 posts	0 Raptors claws are coming to town Thanks, SPR Today, six days after my last run, my watch is telling me to do a Long Run of 2:23:00 at 9:45mm. It didn't give me any runs that long when it "knew" I was marathon training, and it's never asked me to run at that particular pace before. Scrolling down, it says, "This long run is suggested to build up your mileage and endurance." It offered me sprints every day between Tuesday and yesterday. It's also put my VO2max up by a point while I've been ill. I wouldn't expect sessions like that in the two weeks following a marathon.
SPR 7 Dec 10:50am, 7 Dec 2024 46,801 posts	0 SPR I always thought the recovery time it gave for MD races was short, seems marathon may have the same issue and probably related to the same thing in that it's only picking up HR stress not muscular stress etc and I guess the algorithm doesn't have any common sense guidelines to override the basic calcs based on recovery.
MudMeanderer 7 Dec 11:18am, 7 Dec 2024 2,683 posts	0 MudMeanderer I think that's quite broadly an issue with a lot of training metrics. I see the same with TSS on Training Peaks/WKO - because it's built around cardiovascular measures, it's not great for capturing the muscular costs. If I take last week's CX race as an example, neither the CV intensity nor the aggregate TSS were huge, but because it was all plugging at low cadence through thick mud, it was basically an hour strength session and none of the metrics captured that. It's interesting, because if you look at the training sprinters do, then it's evident there is recognition that big muscular efforts can take multiple days to recover from, but it seems slow in being reflected for those on more endurance focus. Maybe HRV can do some of this, but it doesn't feel like it's there yet.

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?
