Learn How to Use HRV the RIGHT Way #cyclingcoach

What was your HRV this morning? And did that tell you how well you are recovering? I asked because most apps stop at HRV. But here's the deal.

HRB doesn't tell you the whole story. There's three other recovery metrics that matter just as much, namely sleep, training stress, and most importantly, how you're feeling. Additionally, a single day HRV value does not tell you much, but your 7-day or 7month trend does. That's why the Coach Cat app tracks your HRB trends, combines them with your sleep, training stress, how you're feeling, so you know when to rest and when to go hard.
