Nutrinaut Tool
Cardio Recovery Time Estimator
Estimate how long to recover after a cardio session based on duration, intensity, sleep, and soreness.
How this estimate works
The tool uses practical recovery signals: training load (duration × intensity), sleep quality proxy, and current soreness. It gives a conservative estimate to help with day-to-day training decisions.
When to use it
- After longer runs/rides or interval days.
- When deciding hard session vs easy day.
- When recovery feels inconsistent week-to-week.
