Got my second Pfizer yesterday. Recovery is fine today. Did a bike ride before the shot and good thing I didn’t save it for afterwards as I was quite tired and ended up taking a nap. Slept a lot and have been sitting on my ass all day today so far. Being old apparently reduces the impact of the 2nd shot. A friend who is 12 years younger got his shot yesterday too and has been feverish and slept awful, etc.

For any hockey fans in here, I’m in a Whoop group with the UMD third string goalie. The guy didn’t touch the ice for the entire 8 period game (yeah you read that right), and he had a 20.3 strain.

He was worried he was slated for the 6th and 7th OT.

Could you imagine the players who actually played ?

We get to see the random recovery generator tomorrow. Friday morning I was at a 57 and did a very hard 90 min bike ride followed by walking 18 with @greebs and saturday woke up at 80%.
Did a 2.5 hour ride yesterday and followed it with 3 vodka drinks and today was at 91!
So this morning i ran 75 minutes and got my first pfizer dose.
99 tomorrow?

Maybe! My recovery didn’t tank until 48 hours after my Pfizer.
But good luck! (My arm was super sore for about 2-3 days)
But, did it? 
Or did Whoop just tank it after you entered that you had the vaccine the day before?
Crazy, I had my first doze Friday morning and had a 13% recovery and SEVEN HRV on Saturday.
No… I’d say it was accurate. I felt fine the day of, including doing a sparring session.
The next day I felt like ass. So id tend to agree with it.
And if I didn’t trust it that much, I’d just take it off

I think several people are reaching that point. The Whoop Random Number Generator (WRNG) is a fairly appropriate acronym. Looks like “wrong.” 
I got no complaints here so to each there own I suppose.
Mine does what I expect and no goofy readings.
Mine continues to be beneficial for marathon training and working out.

I’ve kept mine on because i am an endurance athlete and actually like it as a rough measure of how hard i work each day and i like the night time respiratory rate and prefer the form factor on my bicep to a wrist based watch.
But as an accurate recovery monitor…seems iffy

Yeah. That’s where I’m at.
I think the strain measurements are fine. I don’t know if the sleep stuff is good, but it does at least track how LONG I sleep each night.
Recovery… yeah. WRNG. 
So cancel it brother. Not sure why you don’t

I have yet to find one that nails recovery.
Apple Watch swings and misses.
A buddy has a Sunto and we team 8 miles together and he was hurting the next day and it tried to tell him to run another 6.
Wahoo’s tracker doesn’t even do recovery.
Fitbit LOL.
Seems like if that’s the sole reason you’re getting one of these, is the recovery score I don’t think you’re using it right. But I agree mine tracks workouts like a champ and sleep fairly well.
Paid up for 18 months (PGA deal). Tracks strain “fine.”
One outta 3 ain’t bad for an RNG as you call it
The Recovery seems to be the WRNG.
Sleep tracking is fine too, it seems. Like I’ve said, quite recently.
I like both of those as well and agree the recovery is iffy. (endurance athlete as well).
The other thing that I have found fairly accurate (and very interesting) is the affect of life stresses on strain scores. Not necessarily for how hard i run/bike, but how much of that stressful days added up on my strain score, and what that doesn’t leave “in the tank” for a hard run.

Strain and recovery has been pretty low recently on account of busy season. Went to treat myself at Boardroom (haircut, shave, light massage, steam towel, etc.) - Whoop registered the whole hour and a half appointment as a nap
