Healthy Shipper #001. Building healthyshippers.com in public.
Overview
Public by choiceHealth Uptime: how consistently Robbin hit their own goals, plus the trend on their own metrics against their own ninety-day baseline. Not a rank.
How Health Uptime works
Health Uptime is one number, 0 to 100, for how a month went. It's measured against you, not against other shippers, so two people's scores aren't two marks on the same test.
60% of it is goal consistency: of the goal periods you set for yourself and have already lived through, how many you actually hit.
40% is metric trend: where this month's sleep consistency, recovery and strain sit against your own trailing 90-day baseline. Strain counts as balance rather than maximum: grinding harder scores the same as stopping.
- Only finished days and weeks count. A week that's still running isn't on the tally, so today can't fail yet.
- A goal on something nothing measures doesn't count against you. It's dropped and named, not scored as a miss.
- No goals yet? The trend takes the whole score. No connected metrics? Goals do. A missing half is dropped, never filled in with a zero.
- A month with no evidence behind it gets no score at all, rather than a zero.
- The weights are the ones stated above, and every Health Uptime score stores the arithmetic that produced it.

Latest reading, and the 7-day average under itWhat is this?
How long you were actually asleep. Not how long you were in bed. That's time in bed, and it's a different line.
It's the input almost everything else moves with. Recovery, resting heart rate, mood, and the hour at which you stop writing decent code.
What good looks like. Most adults do well on 7 to 9 hours. Some genuinely need more. Nobody trains themselves down to five, whatever the founder blog said.
7–9 hours is the National Sleep Foundation's recommendation for adults aged 18–64.
What is this?
Your provider's read on how ready your body is today, as a percentage. It's built mostly from HRV, resting heart rate and last night's sleep.
It's a single number for 'push today, or take it easy'. Useful as a nudge. Not an instruction.
What good looks like. There's no universal good number. WHOOP paints its own bands: green from 67%, red under 34%. But the comparison that actually tells you something is against your own recent weeks.
Band colours are WHOOP's, from their own documentation.
What is this?
A 0–21 score for how much load the day put on your cardiovascular system. It's logarithmic, so 18 is a great deal more than twice 9.
It's the other half of recovery. Strain on its own isn't a score to beat. Strain without recovery is just debt with a nicer name.
What good looks like. There isn't a good number, and higher isn't better. Health Uptime treats strain as balance: sitting near your own average scores best, and grinding harder scores the same as stopping.
What is this?
Minutes your provider recorded as workout time.
Time under load, with no opinion about how hard it was.
What good looks like. The usual public health guidance is 150 minutes of moderate activity a week, plus strength work on two days.
150 minutes a week plus two strength days is the WHO physical activity guideline for adults.
