A Deep Dive into Heart Rate Variability with Triathlon Coach Dan Plews

In this episode, we host Dan Plews, a renowned triathlon coach with a Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology, delving deep into the enigmatic realm of Heart Rate Variability (HRV). As a leading authority, Dan demystifies HRV, explicating its significance for athletes and its role in tailoring training and recovery strategies. With a focus on deciphering HRV against common metrics like resting heart rate and VO2 max, Dan unfolds its pivotal role in predicting and preventing overtraining. Dan also evaluates the accuracy of consumer-grade HRV tools and explores the impact of nutrition and sleep on HRV and athletic performance.
