Looking for thoughts from athletes and coaches experienced in this area, do you regularly modify your training plan based on morning recovery metrics (such as Garmin Training Readiness, HRV, Body Battery High, and Recovery Time, or the equivalent from Oura and Whoop)? As an example, let’s say you ha…

From a research/scientific view, ignore all of it. There are no studies that show any correlation/predictive relationship with any of that data. There is a recent TR podcast on that. You will likely get some anecdotal responses from people who have personal experience. But it will all be N=1. IMO,…

Short answer is no. I’ve been tracking HRV with the Athlytic app for a few months now, and I’ve also tracked sleep time with AutoSleep. What ai’ve found is that sleep time and how rested I feel when I wake up and if I am stressed from life events as a better gauge on when to change training than my …

I found most of these stats garbage for me. Most recently at the start of the year I was recording HRV/ Elite training readiness. When I felt worn out Elite HRV was giving me the highest score for readiness. There was also nothing worse than firing it up before a TT, it giving me a low score and…
