Using HRV the RIGHT Way #cyclingcoach

There isn't one magic metric that tells you everything. Recovery is more complex than a single score. It's the balance between your stress and your rest. And in reality, that balance comes from four key metrics all working together.

HRV, sleep, training stress, and most importantly, how you feel. How you feel that day is the ultimate equalizer. And together, those four metrics form the foundation of Coach Cat's AI. coaching intelligence that uses the same decision-making framework I've used for years with athletes.
