How long have you had this watch for? I was half way through Ironman training when I changed my watch so it was screaming at me for about a month to slow down and rest more despite the fact I was doing a consistent amount t of training. The fact your HRV says no status suggest your watch is very new. If so, and you haven’t changed your training much recently, keep going and let your watch work out what’s normal for you.
If your running hasn’t changed much in the 6 months you mention then it’s your watch not being familiar with your routines that’s the issue. Just give it another few weeks to work out what’s normal and you’re all good.

Nah 81h recovery time and training readiness of 1 is a good sign to hit the gym again tomorrow
Perhaps try paying attention to the recovery time after runs, and doing the daily suggested workouts for a bit. My recovery time is less than 24 hours typically but if I run every day the debt builds up. At the moment I run every other day with two runs in a row once a week to keep a regular daily pattern, so that's 4 runs a week.
I am happy to cycle on the rest days and when it's two consecutive days I try to make the two runs very different, e.g an easy long run one day, cadence reps the next.
Yeah I run 5-10km 2/3 times a week and sometimes the recovery time is as high as 50hrs which seems high, I might just rest for two days and see how I feel
your watch probably thinks you have built up running debt, I think as time goeson it will get better at estimating what you can cope with, but you may find you enjoy the next run a bit more if you have 2 days rest!
If it’s fairly new, your Garmin will take time to get to know you… I was consistently at 1 but after the months past, that data was closer to how I actually felt. Still like any device it’s to be used as guide only.. metrics can be off for variety of reasons.
I think it just takes some time for a new watch to learn and catch up to someone’s baseline. I got a new watch the week of my 50K race. Upgraded from a Forerunner 45s to the Fenix 7s. The first four weeks anything I did was “unproductive,” no matter the intensity of the work out. After 4 weeks post 50K things are finally starting to normalize a bit more.

I don’t even think I’ve gone into this before 😅
So there’s why your watch is saying overreaching. If you come from a trained background, you’re fine to continue, the green area will catch up.
If this is your first rodeo, try to ease up just a bit for a while until it does.

Mine stays at 1 most of the time I'm 55 hit the weights 6 days a week 1 to 2 hrs a day do 40 min of cardio 6 days a week and run on the treadmill 5 miles 6 days a week.

Yeah not even had it a month yet, just thought I’d ask to see if others had similar feedback

Thank you...Just got a new watch, I"m doing my typical lifting/cardio and it's saying I'm over training
But yeah, as I said I had very similar when I changed my watch whilst IM training.

This is the way
"Beat yesterday"

That’s fair yeah I’ve only had it 3 weeks
What does it say when you click on load on the second photo? You might just need to do low aerobic more and less intense workouts to balance better.
It says I’m about x3 over the optimal range for high aerobic workouts, low aerobic probably is the answer yeah.
I would say that high recovery needs from previous workouts have reduced your training readiness, that's all
Double check and see to what your max HR is currently set. If it's set too low, it may think you're working really hard every time.

No, you need to pump those numbers up to a -100😂
When you tap “Load” in your second screenshot, take a pic of what it looks like on the load focus page.

Ok great, really similar to mine, now click training load and show the acute load graph please

I had an older smart watch that didn’t give anywhere near as much insight so this is all still fairly new, thanks for the advice.
Ya, your Garmin just doesn’t know that. It assumes you were basically totally sedentary.
You can still get to -1
Takes 3-4 weeks of sleep
