There have been a handful of times (three I can clearly remember) where the Whoop told me to rest and I felt fine, and when I started working out I knew I had to dial it back. Usually it confirms what I’m already feeling. That said - those three stand out in my mind very clearly as awful days on the bike where I felt fine before I started and felt I had a good night’s rest

I’ve repeatedly tried using HRV4Training and it didn’t add any value to training readiness. On the other hand, on the few occasions in the last year where I started riding and quickly realized something was terribly wrong, it was reflected in the Garmin Performance Condition (which uses HRV). My HRV is relative low for the general population, although Marco Altini published some data by age groups and its on the low end of normal for my age. As a result of some changes to training and ‘life’, my HRV values have almost doubled (looking like normal values for general population) so perhaps its time to try again.

@bobmac thanks for the summary. I’ll keep doing the morning HRV readings on my Apple Watch and see if recent improvements to my HRV have any correlation to training.
