What are the physical symptoms of a low HRV during a run? The data is presented nicely and the argument makes sense, but I have found much more success in running when throwing all wearable metrics out of the window. I'd like to learn how to apply HRV regulation based on body feel as a non-elite runner!
I would also at this point never recommend using a wearable (I don't use any), as the amount of made-up metrics provided that have no scientific (or physiological) basis is overwhelming. They have abandoned "what's possible and meaningful" in favor of "what sells" a long time ago. I tried to cover this in more detail here: https://marcoaltini.substack.com/p/a-framework-to-make-better-use-of
This last article should also cover why I do believe resting physiology and HRV - collected first thing in the morning - can be an insightful metric to assess our response to stress, as highlighted in this blog example. Fewer metrics, collected at the right time, can be helpful, in my view.

thank you Ethan, I certainly agree with your approach, and as a coach, perceived exertion is how I prescribe training as well: https://marcoaltini.substack.com/p/coachcorner-how-i-prescribe-training
