Recovery Need Estimator
Estimate how many hours of recovery you need based on training intensity and sleep quality.
"Active recovery (Zone 1) or light mobility work is recommended."
Recovery is Training
Adaptation happens during rest, not during the workout.- High Intensity (HIIT/Sprints): Requires 48-72 hours for nervous system recovery.
- Low Intensity (Zone 2): Can often be repeated within 24 hours.
Use Cases / Example Scenarios

Targeting 30:00 and this pace chart confirmed I was overtraining my easy runs. Adjusted and feel great.
Clinical precision. My exercise numbers have exploded since I started following these percentages.
These scenarios are illustrative examples based on typical use cases.
