@keivonko: HRV is one of the most useful metrics for runners… and one of the easiest to misuse. HRV (Heart Rate Variability) measures the variation between heartbeats and gives insight into how much stress your body is under. The key thing to understand: Your body doesn’t know the difference between training stress and life stress. Hard workouts, poor sleep, work stress, alcohol, travel, heat, and under-fueling can all lower HRV. That’s why HRV can be great for catching illness early or spotting accumulated fatigue before it becomes overtraining. But one low reading doesn’t mean you should skip your workout. HRV is noisy. One bad night’s sleep or a stressful day can tank your score. Instead of focusing on a single number, look for trends over several days and combine it with: • Resting heart rate • How your legs feel • Sleep quality • Workout performance HRV should be a dashboard light, not the steering wheel.

Mine is always is the 30s but is has never been higher, people say it doesnt matter but does it meen that i can handle less training?

NUVARD :

The trap for runners is treating one morning reading as a go or no go. A single dip with resting heart rate flat is usually just noise. What carries information is the rolling average against your own normal range and whether resting HR moved with it. Also worth knowing HRV often falls through a hard block while fitness is still improving, so a downward trend is not automatically a warning.

My average hrv is 41 is that okay ?😭

Elisegylo 🏃🏽‍♀️✨ :

HRV can drop before illness, but for women it also naturally drops in the luteal phase due to progesterone. So a lower HRV isn’t always a sign you’re getting sick, it can just reflect normal cycle changes ☺️
