About This Episode
World-leading HRV researcher Dr. Dan Plews explains how triathletes can leverage HRV for training decisions. Covers acute vs chronic approaches, using 7-10 day rolling averages for reliable insights, and why HRV should complement rather than replace other monitoring tools. Based on his PhD research under Paul Laursen and Martin Buchheit.
