I wish I could use HRV4Training via Garmin Connect. I actually use a combination of the Garmin stress measurement and overnight HRV to see my response to training or upcoming illness. I find the stress measurement, because of it's resolution (anytime you're still basically) is really good at picking out when I'm responding atypically to any stressor. Before I even feel sick I notice the stress graph elevated throughout the day. After a bout of exercise it stays elevated before falling etc.
I actually find it a good way to guide my health because when I do notice low HRV, high resting HR and poor stress levels I tend to wear a well fitting FFP2 respirator to avoid colds/flu's/covid & make sure I take it easy.
I've been running for the past 12 months without a 'resting week'. 2 weeks ago I ran my first half marathon in Prague, and for the past 4 weeks my Garmin watch shows me that my HRV is low. My trainer gave me a whole rest week to see if it gets back to normal.
I would like to try your app, but before could you help me understand which insights it delivers that Garmin Connect doesn't?
Hi Marco I’ve used HRV4Training over the last 4 years and through my first 5 marathons.
I have a great coach and use Training Peaks.
The app provides great biofeedback as to how I’m managing training load (or not) through various periods of time and has helped my to become more aware of and realistic of my response to various stressors in my life and to adapt accordingly. Thank you
Thanks Marco - very useful info as always.

Great advice, Marco.
