Recovery Tool
Resting Heart Rate Health Score
Use your morning resting pulse with age and sex for a simple readiness/recovery signal.
How to measure resting heart rate correctly
- Measure after waking, before caffeine or training.
- Use the same time and position (lying or seated) each day.
- Track 7-day trend instead of reacting to one single reading.
How to interpret trend changes
A temporary rise of 3-8 bpm can happen with poor sleep, stress, dehydration, travel, or hard training blocks. If your resting HR stays elevated for multiple mornings, bias recovery and easier sessions.
