I was getting maybe one green recovery a week. Despite going to bed early and doing what I could to help my rest. So this past week I decided to try something different. What if ran a little more frequently, and says I didn’t run, I still went out for a walk and got some good movement in.
Well, the results have been ASTOUNDING!

If I may ask, what is the tool you are using there? I was just getting back to being regular with running and then injured my calf a couple weeks ago. I want to be methodical about training as I come back from this.
@chieroglyph I loved my Garmin, but found the Body Meter to be too limited to help me figure out my sleep/recovery issues. I did eventually use and love Whoop, but it was so costly. It had profound impact though on my understanding of recovery.
When I moved to an Apple Watch I found I could replace both my Garmin and my whoop with great success.
At this point Garmin may have improved the feature, but it wasn’t enough for me at the time.
@mauvehed I have the VivoActive 4 which has a fair batch of stuff via Garmin Connect but I haven't dug too deep yet.
My primary issue with using the sleep tracking functions is that the damn watch lights up every time you move your arm and it was driving my spouse crazy.
I am going to wear it 24 hours a day for a few days and see what I actually get, data wise. If it sucks, I will just make the jump for the Apple watch.
Thank you for your input on this. It is appreciated.
