What is WHOOP Recovery Score?

WHOOP Recovery is a daily 0–100 percentage score calculated from your HRV, resting heart rate, respiratory rate, sleep performance, and blood oxygen. Green (67–100%) means you're recovered and ready to push. Yellow (34–66%) suggests moderate effort. Red (0–33%) means prioritize recovery. It's the most recognized recovery metric in the fitness wearable space.

What WHOOP Recovery Score Doesn't Do

Score only — WHOOP doesn't generate or modify training plans

Requires WHOOP hardware ($30/month subscription) — can't use other wearables

Tells you how recovered you are but not what workout to do

No race preparation, periodization, or goal-oriented training

What AiTrainingPlan Adds

Recovery data drives automatic plan adjustments — low recovery reshapes your week

Works with any wearable — WHOOP, Garmin, Apple Watch, Oura — or none

Converts recovery scores into specific workout prescriptions

Connects recovery to race calendar — protects key workouts and adjusts others

Feature Comparison

Aspect WHOOP Recovery Score AiTrainingPlan
Output Recovery percentage (0–100%) Recovery assessment PLUS automatic plan adjustment

The Verdict

WHOOP Recovery is the gold standard for recovery scoring — the HRV-based methodology is excellent. But WHOOP is a measurement tool, not a coaching tool. If you're paying $30/month for recovery data that you then have to manually interpret and act on, you're doing the hard part yourself.
