Data about your resting heart rate and heart rate variability can tell you how well your training is going.

As endurance athletes, we’re used to monitoring our heart rate while we’re working out.

Mac and Ginger go deep into the science so you know what to pay attention to and why, when you’re ready for more work and when it’s time to back off.

Just as an adjunct, I’ve been using HRV for more than five years. It definitely tells you when to take an extra day of recovery and can also let you know when you are overtraining and risking injury or illness. It can also let you know when you are feeling great but are at the edge of getting ill. Hope these are covered in the podcast.
