How high do you want your/your athletes' form to be on recovery week?

What is the highest absolute FORM number you aim at or consider acceptable during a recovery week 4 weeks prior to a 70.3 as an A race? I know it depends a lot on the athlete profile, long-term and short-term history of races and training, age, recovery profile etc… But just curious about what you usually see as your own or your athlete’s FORM on recovery weeks.

Not sure what the coaches will say, but as a pack filler recreational athlete I’ve seen as low as single digit negatives, but that’s probably my fault :wink: Historically, looking forward my plan usually shows +10-15 or more for the recovery week 4 weeks out then back into negative until tapering, then about +20 for the day prior to the race. ymmv
