Fascinating stuff, brilliantly analysed and written. I'm using the PRV (!) on a Garmin Fenix 6. I seem to get a dip after a hard training day and also after a hard alcohol day. I currently have a virus, so not feeling great nor training much. The tech doesn't actually 'know' about the virus and therefore lacks some input. I'm not using your app, Marco...maybe you address these confounding factors?

thanks Steve!

the way it works in HRV4Training is that you can find a questionnaire after the measurement, and therefore you can log all relevant stressors (travel, alcohol, etc.) - as well as how you feel subjectively, an important part of the picture. That way, it will be easier to contextualize data and understand what's behind day to day changes.

Thanks, Marco. Are you integrating with Garmin?

not exactly! For workouts, you can get them via Strava, while for the reading, my recommendation would be to measure in the morning. If not possible , night data can be also entered manually (https://www.hrv4training.com/blog/manual-input-in-hrv4training). Feel free to reach us at hello@hrv4training.com!
