Mine appears to think I'm still asleep and once again it's advised me to do 48 minutes at 10.20mm today.

BB 62 (it was at 5 by mid evening) RHR - top end of my normal range HRV - balanced, but low end of range SS - 74 fair, stupid thing, had nearly 8 hours, bloody marvellous for me! Maintaining, high aerobic shortage - suggestion Base, 48 min@12.55 which is roughly what it’ll be on the way to the gym. |

For the first time ever my garmin is telling me to rest today 😀 I am going to do just that (well a walk will occur but that’s just normal 😀) It registered me as being asleep while sitting reading a book the other day! It was about normal bedtime but I was definitely not sleeping! HRV going wonky again. I think it’s sleeping in a bedroom that’s warmer than our’s at home! |

6:34 hours of sleep, 81 SS, good, plenty of REM but a bit short BB 85 up from 30 Training load optimal, status is maintaining. If I want to improve, I have to increase my load. Recovery time left: 53 hours so I should rest. I'm going to go for a short recovery Rundle run at low HR (Z1) later. So I've done the tempo session it recommended to me (5x 10 minutes with 3 minutes recovery) or close to it. 5x 2000m is a bit under 50 minutes in total, with 500m recovery, about 3 minutes each time. Now it tells me that I'm overreaching and I got the rare 5.0 training score. Garmin, I did exactly as told. Maybe I didn't let HR go down as much as it wanted in the recovery (Z3 instead of Z1) because between cruise intervals, I don't want to drop far off the threshold to get more of a lactate shuttle effect. If I had gone down to suggested range, I'd have had to walk / jog very slowly. For fast VO2 max intervals, I do that because I need it to be recovered for the next hard effort. Tempo or cruise intervals should be run differently because I'm going for a different effect, the ability to use lactate as a fuel while running quite fast so I shouldn't drop off the pace too much between intervals. At least, that's what I've been told in coaching seminars. Sometimes I wonder if Garmin understands what the optimal execution of the suggestions should be for the best effect. |

tipsku that's a tough session, not surprised you got a 5 for that. Quick summary is Garmin is doing traditional stuff and has a proper recovery while you're doing something that's fairly new and therefore mixing them has ended up with an extremely hard session. |

Thanks, SPR. That makes sense. Having full recoveries would have dropped the intensity to 4.5 or whatever Garmin wanted for that. I didn't expect to exceed that but I guess it's okay to have a pretty hard session once a month or so. I didn't even get a 5.0 for my 10k race last month, that was a 4.6. Subjectively, the race felt harder because I had no recovery. So the interval style did its job, I was able to put up more work while feeling less stressed. I'm just chuckling at the comment on the training load that I should be increasing volume or intensity to further improve. I've done a pretty hard session and that's what I get, haha. The apps within Garmin don't really talk to each other. |

I need to check the highest training effect I've had. Might be from a MD session, lol. Sure I've seen 3 days recovery from that! Maybe had that for a couple of races as well. This article might be of use to you tipsku, the alternation method is the type of session you were aiming for I think but the traditional interval length is too long for that really. highperformancewest.com I'm using something similar currently. 7 mile run with 5 miles alternated as 400/1200. With progression at the moment about getting the alternations better before increasing the length of the faster portion. I used 4 miles of 800/800 at 5000 target/ steady in 2021 to hone my 5000 which was lagging behind my 1500 ability early season. |

Velociraptor from yesterday, where are you seeing training suggestions on the app. Gobi also from yesterday, early start to 800 work? Planning more MD this year? |
