It used to be that one had to be really fast to podium. Now all I have to do is become decrepit slower than the next guy.
it seems pretty spot on for me sometimes… then others its so far off I cant help but laugh I have had it tell me things like 12 days recovery time after a half marathon etc
It’s not telling you you can’t do anything for 12 days. It’s telling you you need 12 days of recovery (whether active or complete) before repeating that type of effort.
That’s how their recovery adviser works. It tells you how much time you need before repeating that effort you just did. Not how much time of doing nothing before your ready to work out at all.

I’ve had my 735 for just a couple of weeks, so I’m still learning about all of the features. And, I’m a long way from being back in shape after turning into a coach potato after Ironman CAL in 2000. But, I just started noticing the recovery time. I had a good, hard 5k run on Sunday, and it told me I needed 39 hours to recover. Monday, I ran hard again and set a new 5k PR. I felt great the entire run! So, I did not need the full time to recover to be able to repeat the effort/performance. It was interesting to see this thread, and note I am not alone in questioning the accuracy of the recovery time.
