My garmin 1000 upgraded itself to version 8 last week and I noticed I started to get a message "fair" a few minutes into the ride and at the end messages telling me how long to recover before doing any efforts. I went onto garmin site and not much info but found some on a runners forum and realised I am meant to wait 2 minutes after finishing before stopping and saving the activity so it can measure my recovery rate.
I raced for 2 hrs on sunday ( xc) and did 46 miles of commuting yesterday and 23 this morning, it is telling me to recover for 36 hours now, last night 48 but I didn't know about the 2 minute gap needed last night. ( all with HRM strap on of course) So I guess I have been putting in some big efforts. I am having tomorrow off to see what it tells me on thursday. I am knackered at the moment so I think it has some value.
Has anyone else been using it and do you think its worth abiding by.
