Burners,
I hear most of the top XC riders and some of the endubro/DH riders are using Heart Rate Variability (HRV) to guide training load.
HRV indicates the balance between relaxation/recovery and fight/flight. Low HRV indicating overtraining. Gradually raise training load until HRV falls, then back off until HRV is back to baseline.
Is anyone here using HRV?
Do you have a good training manual?
How are you measuring it?
What tools are you using to calculate it?
What numbers do you get?
I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours....
Training manual: I haven't found one yet, most of the people who know are not saying or have trademarked a "system" and codified the numbers. Some good scientific papers out there.
Measurement: Garmin 920XT / Garmin ANT HR belt, at rest, 12 minutes, before I get out of bed.
Tools: Download from Garmin connect, open in Kubios to get the numbers, long term trend tracking in excel
RMSSD baseline=29.86ms stressed < 15ms
Resting HR baseline 53bpm, stressed > 55bpm
