The equation for Recovery Training is your progressive workout program divided by your Fuel & Recovery Monitoring.
Recovery from training is becoming recognized as one of the most important aspects of physical activity and overall wellness. As we sort through the myriad recovery strategies and their varied levels of scientific support, it’s important to remember that both scientific and anecdotal evidence point to the value of an appropriate recovery plan to encourage adaptation, wellness and performance

Recent laboratory studies have suggested that heart rate variability (HRV) may be an appropriate criterion for training load (TL) quantification.
Applied Sport Science
Elite endurance athletes endure very high training loads (frequency, duration, and intensity), which induce adaptive effects and stress reactions. The high frequency of training imposed ensures that these adaptive effects are cumulative. Unfortunately, incomplete recovery from frequent training can make the stress-related sideeffects cumulative as well.
