EPISODE OUTLINE:
00:00 Introduction and Background19:19 The Importance of Resting Heart Rate28:27 HRV and Cardiovascular Fitness37:00 The Future of HRV Technology43:32 The Impact of Emotional States on Performance
TAKEAWAYS
Heart rate variability (HRV) is the variation between consecutive heartbeats and is an indirect way to measure how stress is impacting the autonomic nervous system.Resting heart rate and HRV are the most important parameters to track in HRV, and changes in these values can provide insights into stress levels and recovery.Absolute values of HRV are not as informative as relative changes over time, and it is important to understand an individual's normal range.Technology has made it easier to measure HRV, but it is important to use the data in the right context and not get too obsessed with numbers.The future of HRV technology may involve measuring other physiological markers, such as hormones, to gain a better understanding of stress and performance.Emotional states can impact an athlete's performance, and it is important to consider the mental and emotional aspects in addition to physiological data.

Customer Reviews
Asks all the questions you want answered
Relaxed running is a great podcast with a great host. Tyson hosts many great guests on his show. He has a relaxed manner which gets his guests to open up and share their experiences and thoughts. He also has a wonderful knack of asking the questions that arise in my mind as a listener and keen runner leaving me satisfied and more knowledgeable at the end of each episode. Highly recommended.
Asking what we all want to know
Always a fantastic listen Tyson, I love how you always dig deep into training structure and kilometres covered.
At the end of the day it’s all about the kms. Maybe lactate if you’re Norwegian
Solid running podcast
Some interesting interviews and insights. Really like the guided training sessions and I hope he does some more of them.
