How to use HRV4Training to monitor adaptation to training and adjust things on the go: a case study.4/9/2019
Blog post by Marco Altini
In this post, we go over the 12 weeks leading to Serena's first marathon. We'll see how HRV data can be used to analyze positive adaptations (increasing or stable HRV baseline) and to determine when to hold back if necessary (HRV baseline below normal values, or maladaptation detected). We'll also see how to analyze training intensity distribution and how to determine race pacing strategy using HRV4Training Pro. As always, while this post is about data, there is no use in data without common sense. Data is not here to replace our brain. Data is here to help us improve our understanding of our body and perception of stress and effort - something we are really bad at, especially as recreational athletes. Hopefully, the tools we have developed as well as this case study will help you to learn more about how you respond to stress and to manage things better. Thank you again Serena for working with me in these three months and congratulations again on your sub-4 marathon. Train smart, run faster Comments are closed.
