  • The calorie counting and recovery advice on Garmins is ridiculous.

    I've recorded a 3km ride to Sainsburys at 20kph which my Garmin has advised warrants a 17 hour recovery period.

  • That's because it knows you just went to Sainos for 4 bottles of whisky and a bag of NOS bottles...

    Some of that might be based on the HRV being measured and it picking up a precursor to illness. The device assumes that it may not be worn/used for every activity, so it tries to infer your physical state from the little data it sees.

    If no HRM being worn then it's just random Garmin bollocks.
