I've been demoted to Recovery and it's still banging on about sprints.

I’ve had a chest infection so haven’t trained for 10 days but my hrv is in the shitter so I’m still strained, which feels about right. I am 100% recovered though, which is nice. |

Back at the beginning of December last year my fitness age was 55 then jumped to 56, presumably because my 66th birthday was around the corner in the new year. Fair enough I thought. But just after my birthday at the end of January it went down to 55.5. After a bout of illness in February - heavy cold and chesty cough - when I took a break from running it climbed to 59 by the end of the month. Here we are at the end of March and despite another bad cold and hacking cough it's down to 57, and Garmin is telling me "You've reached your target Fitness Age". Didn't even realise I could set a target....or is Garmin just making up porkies again? |

Here's my "fitness age" over the past 12 months: The increase in December is when I got a new set of Garmin scales - having broken the old Garmin scales by dropping them - and it revised my body fat percentage to a (more realistic) higher level. However, in terms of pseudo-science, the revised assessment of 53½ is still 3½ years younger than my actual age, so I'll not argue.

Yes I think it’s a garmin created number but I’m 52 in a couple of weeks and Garmin says I’m 46.5 which I will take even if it says I can’t get younger! I do wonder if it will change that as I lose weight?! |

@EvilPixie , it tells you the factors which influence your fitness age underneath. On mine, it's body fat rather than weight. |

That looks to me as though there's nothing you can do to improve your "fitness age" based on Garmin's selective data. I agree that weight (or even BMI) should also be a factor, though.

I've just noticed that Ness's uses BMI whereas mine & EP's uses body fat instead.
