I've never found any use to that garmin recovery time. It always says I'm good once I get going even if In the morning it said 24hrs recovery and then I commute home.
Consequently by the time I have commuted home it then says '12hrs'.
And I've definitely felt like garbage and not 'good'. I'm sure my zones are set up rught too.
On another note.
How common is DOMS? I seem to get the bulk of my muscle soreness days after training.
For example, this week I did some high intensity intervals on tues, felt fine and so repeated on weds. Thursday easy commute then by Friday felt like I was pedaling through treacle and could hardly walk up stairs. Today feel fine.
I've noticed this a lot and often been confused as to why I felt awful the day after an easy ride when it is probably DOMS from a couple of days ago.
Is DOMS a sign of anything, like not recovering properly through rest or eating? Does anyone else get DOMS, all the time?
