Recovery Time vs Duration
Recovery Time Estimation
Recovery (hours) = (Intensity x sqrt(Duration) / 3) x Experience Factor
This heuristic model considers that recovery scales with both workout intensity and the square root of duration (longer sessions increase recovery need but not linearly).
Experience Factors
Example Calculation
An intermediate athlete doing a hard 60-minute session.
- 01sqrt(60) = 7.75
- 02Recovery = (7 x 7.75 / 3) x 1.0
- 03= 54.2 / 3 = 18 hours
- 04Recovery days = 18 / 24 = 0.8 days
