I ran 26.2 miles and burned 2,473 calories: Here’s what my readiness score was on my Apple Watch Ultra 4, Garmin Fenix 9 Pro and Oura Ring 5 the next morning
Here's the difference between all the data from my last marathon.
I ran 26.2 miles and burned 2,473 calories, but what was my readiness score on the morning after the marathon? To find out, I examined my readiness scores from three different wearables - the Apple Watch Ultra 4, Garmin Fenix 9 Pro, and Oura Ring 5 - the morning after the race and for the following few days. The race took place despite the clock change, which gave me an extra hour of sleep, but I struggled to get back to sleep and my legs were twitching.
The next morning, my Oura Ring 5 gave me a readiness score of 35/100, indicating the body might be strained. Apple showed a readiness score of 3/10, with elevated heart rate and respiratory rate, and Garmin reported a stress level of 60 and a body battery of -64. Looking at the week following the race, my readiness scores hovered around 60/100, indicating a significant toll on sleep, heart rate, and recovery.
