Key takeaways
  • Each session costs recovery in its own way
  • Sleep, water and recovery work earn points back
  • Rest gives back about 60% of a session over the next 1 to 2 days

The eight levels

Your score always sits in one of eight levels, so you can read it at a glance: Peak Recovery (90 and above), Well Recovered (80 to 89), Good (70 to 79), Moderate (60 to 69), Slightly Fatigued (50 to 59), Fatigued (40 to 49), Under-Recovered (20 to 39) and Needs Rest (below 20).

Recovery work counts too. Stretching, foam rolling, breath work and meditation each add points back, and rest days are treated as part of the plan. No strap, ring or other device is needed.
