The cardio readings on my Apple Watch are inconsistent
Okay, so I have been training for a half marathon for the past 4 months. I’m in the best shape of my life, don’t get winded running or walking up big hills like I used to and have lost 15 pounds. Back in February, I got a notification saying my cardio recovery was 42BPM and I was in some of the worst shape of my life. I would get winded walking up the stairs. But now, it’s August and it has been consistently dropping for months and I’m down to 21BPM. I thought this was a good thing because it has been moving consistently with my getting in shape until I looked up what it meant and now I’m incredibly confused on how Apple is recording this. It does not seem accurate in the slightest. At my worst point, physically, my heart rate had the best cardio recovery? And at my best point, physically, it’s now the worst cardio recovery I’ve ever had? Please someone shed some light on this. It makes me feel like Apple isn’t recording my workout’s accurately now.
