Wearables

£200+ to measure recovery. £0 spent acting on it.

You bought the scoreboard

WHOOP and Oura are brilliant at measuring: strain, sleep, HRV. That part of the problem is solved.

But a score isn't a decision

Recovery 34%. Now what — skip the session? Go light? Which lift? The £200+ stops talking exactly where your day starts.

So you improvise

Most wearable owners read the number, feel vaguely guilty, and train exactly as planned anyway. The data changed nothing.

Screenshot this — the 3 questions your score can't answer

1) Train, modify, or rest — which, specifically? 2) What does MY trend say, not the population's? 3) What changed since my last hard session? If your app answers all 3, keep it.
