A good proxy for non-invasive measurement of internal load 5:30 how does Mikael use HR in coaching Typically a secondary metric to provide context to pace and power metrics 8:15 difference between value of using HR as a primary metric in beginner vs advanced athletes 9:45 is HR ever a primary metric? Specifically in longer endurance efforts. 14:00 testing or estimating LT1 / AeT 75% - 80% of MaxHR Maintaining HR with no drift over constant power on long efforts. This one is tricky. Lactate test HR doesn’t change much over time Talk test HRV Dfa A1 analysis 19:45 cardiac drift / aerobic decoupling Is it useful? Ed Coyle paper Largely caused by hyperthermia & dehydration May be partially caused by gradual glycogen depletion in working motor units 28:30 what do you infer from a workout with abnormally high HR Environmental: heat or altitude May be caused by illness, but not well understood Stimulants like caffeine Post COVID recovery? 33:45 what do you infer from a workout with abnormally low HR When combined with a higher-than-expected RPE, is a sign of overreaching When the decline is steady, and gradual over a long time horizon, it could be a sign of improving aerobic fitness Maybe glycogen depletion when looking at high intensity training sessions 39:00 Mikael’s thoughts on training using RPE only Check out Scientific Triathlon and listen to Mikael's excellent podcast That Triathlon Show wherever you get your podcasts.
