Heart Rate Variability Training

I, the Running Otaku, will explain Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and how it can improve your training. I'm in the middle of a half marathon training cycle and HRV has proven to be a useful statistic to help me decide when to push my hard workouts or when to back off. It turns out that physiological or emotional stress will lower your HRV...and a low HRV is bad. On the flip side, your HRV will begin to rise after easy days or if you can find ways to alleviate your emotional stress. ****************** Connect With Me ****************** Strava:   / strava   Instagram: @running.otaku Blog: http://www.runningotaku.com Music by Bensound
