I also use it to help me determine how to split up my working week. If I'm feeling, and my HRV indicates, that I'm not doing so great then I might opt for a day of writing instead of spending all day in the lab. This way, I stay healthy, get ill less, get injured less, feel better and perform better!" Image credit RB shoots |

The app allows me to have a wealth of data for understanding where my fitness level is and how my life stress might be impacting it as well. Additionally, I live at altitude, sometimes train at even higher altitude, and have tournaments mostly at lower altitude. HRV4Training allows me to quantify my body's response to the stress of ascending and helps me see how living and training at altitude allows me to perform well when I travel to lower levels. I've been using the app for almost two years now and never seem to run out of ways to use the data." |

"I use HRV4Training every morning when I wake up and depending on the outcome from the trends this can alter my training for the day. I’ve found that my hydration has a massive impact on my next days score so this is something that I’m extra cautious of before and after sessions. I’ve found this app easy to use and informative. I’ve found HRV very useful to train alongside as sometimes your body may be feeling good but the HRV and trends are heading in the wrong direction and by seeing this allows me to alter training so that I can continue to train to my full potential" |
Ana is a runner and triathlete trying to become a professional triathlete and working everyday to achieved her goal.

Thirdly, with this app I can daily guide the external loads of my patients. Fourthly, this tool is surely easy to prescribe specific workouts (I am not talking about intensities, I talking about exercises such as overhead workouts to improve some sympathetic activity or long distance swimming to improve some parasympathetic tone or physiological variables)" |

I use it to check in and I’ve learnt to trust the process through HRV4Training" |

A coach to endurance athletes of all levels helping them in their never-ending pursuit of improved performance, I am also a certified Unified Mindfulness coach, and help bring mindfulness meditation strategies to athletes to help them manage stress, and improve performance. The process of working towards a goal and making slow but steady progress is one that interested me from an early age. At age 11 I was a competitive speed-skater and runner, and rode my first century on a bike. Before my 12th birthday a brain tumor and subsequent surgery nearly took my life, and left me barely able to walk across a room without collapsing with fatigue. So the question of how to come back from challenges and make steady progress diligently and consistently has long been one fundamental to my life. I've turned that question into a passion that fuels my training in pursuit of ever-faster marathons
"I use HRV4Training to help determine the timing of intensity during the week, to learn what stressors affect my readiness, and how to better control them for more sustainable progress. To guide the addition of positive influences on overall stress (e.g. meditation, better food, sleep), as well as removing the negative influences (alcohol, screen-time before bed, poor nutritional choices).

Linda is qualified Personal Trainer, Strength & Conditioning coach, yoga teacher and works in communications
"Resistance training is my priority, I do three sessions a week. I also run twice or three times a week, do some yoga, mobility and power work in between." "I had a baby in January 2020, trained all the way through pregnancy and made a very quick recovery. I took a safe and steady approach, particularly in the first three months, where I concentrated on building a foundation of core strength. Just over a year later, I'm stronger now, lifting more and running faster than I was pre-pregnancy. I hope to raise awareness of safe training during pregnancy and postpartum through being a HRV4Training ambassador, as I think there is a lot of 'give up/accept you'll never be the same again' information being pushed out in the social media space." "I love data, I take a reading using the HRV4Training app every morning, in the same place and approximately at the same time. I think the biggest learning has been the effect of sleep and how hormonal changes affect my strength (in a positive way)" |

I measure my HRV every morning and use it not only to determine my recovery, but more importantly, how its trending. It has proven very useful to prevent over training." |
Shannon is a USAT Level 1 triathlon coach and a trainingpeaks certified coach as well as a nationally ranked long course triathlete "I use HRV4Training to evaluate my current condition every morning.

"I was born in Northern Italy to a family of ultra-runners, and fed pasta and the "100 km del Passatore" since my very early years. I spent half of the last 30 years playing sub-par soccer before dedicating myself to the art of running, first short and (relatively) fast and then long and slow. During my doctorate and post-doctorate years across North America I learnt to run trails in the summer, skate ski on the very same trails in the winter, and sample craft beer yearlong.
With other life stressors and commitments increasingly taking up more and more time and energy, HRV4Training measurements have been an always welcome daily appointment part of my morning meditation routine and helping me to gauge whether to go "pedal on the metal" or ease off my training intensity for a day or two." |

He has been coaching for 27 years and is USA Cycling certified at the highest level and holds certifications in personal training, nutrition, and youth training "I have used HRV4Training on myself and selected athletes I coach.

It is important to monitor these impacts to guard against negative trends and outcomes." |
"I am a personal trainer located in Edmonton, Canada. I am transgender and focus on training folks from the LGBTQ community as well as other folks who don't feel comfortable going to gyms and trainers. I love tracking my own data and am interested in seeing how this app might help some of my clients, particularly ones who struggle with periods of low energy and depression.
I am using the breath app on my apple watch every morning to track my rates and use it to know when to push myself a bit more or give myself a bit more rest. What I've been learning from it so far is mainly a better understanding of how different trends in my daily life affect my overall health. Already it is helping me prioritize sleep and skip the drink with dinner even more than I was already. I can see this possibly being a very useful tool for people who struggle with chronic fatigue and low energy due to depression. I can see it helping people gain a better understanding of physical vs psychological fatigue" |

"48 yo and loving the process. Competitive when I can, but love being active in the mountains skiing, running and cycling. A family with 2 kids and a job that entails travel can be taxing when all is considered and I have valued HRV tracking to keep me from getting run down. I have been following it since ~2015. It gives me a lot of insight, and helps qualify my inner voice.
I use HRV4Training daily and aim to stay in a state of balance while training and recreating daily. It helps me identify if my trend is polarized enough and occasionally I try to use it to peak for events. I value the insight it gives on sleep deprivation and diet changes. It helps direct my inner drive and keeps me from digging a hole." |
I am a 53 years old and retired from the police service just over a year ago. I have dedicated some of my time to studying a BSc in Sports, Fitness & Coaching with the Open University. I have recently set up my own business, Expedite Running & Fitness, coaching mainly runners and providing training plans. I am also a Lead Runner and Coach for Run the Wild UK.
I mainly compete in ultra distance running events. In 2019 I was the Trail Running Association M50 UK Ultra Distance Trail Running Champion. In 2017 I completed the Everest Marathon and this year despite it's challenges I finished top 20 in the Alps to Ocean Ultra, a 323km stage race on the South Island, New Zealand and completed a Bob Graham Round (BGR). I have always been interested in the science of training. HRV4Training helps me to decide if I am properly recovered and what intensity I should work at. As a running coach I like to help people improve, get fitter and achieve their goals. Looking at Training Stress Scores and getting feedback off your athlete is all very well but having a physiological marker like HRV takes it to another level. |
