How the score changes during the day

Recovery and Energy

• Your Recovery Score settles once every signal your watch records has arrived, or at noon, whichever comes first. Then it stays fixed for the day.
• Energy is where today's activity has left you. Today opens on it.
• The Energy curve draws it from when you woke to now.

Naps

A nap of ten minutes or more after you wake gives back some of what the day has taken. It can never lift Energy above your Recovery Score. Training never gives points back.

What a day costs

• A rest day costs nothing.
• An ordinary day for you costs only a little.
• The more you do beyond your normal, the more it comes down.
• One hard day can move you a band or two, but it can't wipe out a well-recovered morning.

Judged by the time of day

Push compares what you have done so far with what you have usually done by this time of day. A hard morning shows up in the morning, not only at night.

Judged against you

Load is measured against your own usual day, so the same run costs a beginner more than a marathoner. In your first days, before Push knows your usual, it allows for ordinary movement instead. How load is worked out is in Strain and training load.
