It also helps people layer multiple metrics into painting the full picture. Still important to consider perception / feel, and external load too. Would you find this type of visual helpful with your own data?.

For TST 'flags', l've gone with an arbitrary RED if less than 6 hours. This is 2 months of data. IMO, visualising data like this with less emphasis on exact numbers of far easier to understand and contextualise.

Here's a way to quickly visualise your."readiness" or "recovery" metrics. These being:.Resting heart rate (RHR).Heart rate variability (HRV).Total sleep time (TST) in hours. The solid lines (quadrants) are averages for RHR & HRV, to give an idea of 'normal' values.

How SHIT is your recovery? .

I’ve provided a few examples for sleep (non-negotiable vs an acute ‘strategy’, cold water immersion (ice-baths), intermittent pneumatic compression (e.g. Normatec) and compression leggings. Let me know if you would like me to breakdown other specific strategies / tools?.

If you are a practitioner, I would strongly encourage you to put every recovery strategy through this lens when prescribing & recommending to your athletes. Are there barriers to consider? What is the correct & effective dose? Timing might matter.

If you are an athlete / someone trying to recover - why am I choosing this strategy? Is this effective for the state that I am in? And Is it the most efficient?.

This is a word-heavy post, so please take a little bit of time to think about each of the 3 examples I’ve given, but also think about applying the ABCDs to your own choice of recovery strategy.

Always consider your ABCDs when it comes to recovery strategies. A= Application - practical use or relevance.B = Barriers - challenges - beliefs & logistics.C = Contra-indications - circumstances where this particular strategy might not be best.D = Dosage - recommended quantity
