I’ve overtrained so many times I need data - not to override how I feel but give insights to consider. For some reason I struggle to notice overtraining before it’s too late. Lactate and heart measurements have been outstanding guardrails to stay fresh
Great chat. Would love to know 2 things as follow ups: 1. There's a conflict between saying that HRV level is associated with all cause mortality, and then saying the variability of HRV is what matters (not the level). Has the "science" moved past the population averages now, or is this a logical conflict? 2. Is there a missed relationship between the ratio of restingHR/maxHR and baseline HRV? In particular, your resting HR apparently decline as you age, and the population averages of HRV decline as you age. My restingHR to maxHR "ratio" so to speak is pretty low for my age, and my HRV is very low for my age. I'm an endurance athlete and train for Ironmans. I'm wondering if we need to think about HRV relative to our heart rate ratio rather than by age?
Yes especially the first bit. I train a lllot and live a boringly healthy life but my HRV is super low. Every time I read that it’ll lead to my early death I want to give up and just find this very unhelpful (unsurprisingly!). Reading that it’s relative to myself is change is what counts is more helpful. Whoop for example have no answers as to why mine is so low.
This was very informative... Everything said I could connect to my experience of how im training at present...its good to have it reinforced by your guest..Great podcast.
If you want to increase your HRV and lower your HR, you should use cannabis on a daily basis. Vaporrizing is preferred, but even smoking will do the trick. One session is not enough. In my experience, you need to go for a few days before you see the difference. I used to be a heavy user, and my HRV (oura) was mid 70's, and HR 45. These numbers were stable for years. When taking a long break, my HRV went down to 40s, and HR went up to 54. These numbers were stable for more than a year. Now if a have a period of "medication", HRV goes right up again, and HR lowers. I don't know if this means it is actually healthy. There are a few research papers that come to the same conclusion.
I have a shanti mat and yea it is like a bunch of sharp plastic points on a mat but it dose feel great after the initial few mins … reminds me of an ice bath experience type of thing.
I lost 40kg in 13 months. I track my calories and macros, I also been intermittent fasting since May 23’ I go to the gym and cycle between 80/100 miles a week. I work shifts and have a heart murmur. My resting HR is about 44/48. My Garmin always tells me I have a low HRV! How can my HRV (ave below 50) give me lowered reading, when someone factors are not factored in? The last 7 days it’s increased to 63 because I was on my late shift. Thanks
@@TheRoadmanPodcast they are pretty pricey for sure but for me it has been a TRUE investment in my sleep and thus overall health! Btw it also tracks overnight HRV with lots of other data and it does it surprisingly well. Most nights my Oura (or Laua as I call it) and bed are only a few points apart.

Question: Do those with higher natural resting heart rates typically have lower HRV because there is already less time between beats?
I m Glad that you divided Morning routine of M.Cernow from your "evening routine".
You can have Floyd Landis on your podcast.

Brilliant guest 👏
He’s some knowledge on the area
What is that sleeping mat? I really need one.
Awesome if there a link to the HRV course?

Super podcast. Thank you.
Thanks for listening
Great podcast! Very informative. And I second’s Plews comment about the Eight Sleep pod being the best investment!
They are spicey in price but a few people have recommended them. Must check them out

What sort of numbers should we be looking at
usually I have around 90-120 hrv.
I have the flu at the moment, an last night with fever etc. it were about 32^^
Is there a link to the software HRV for Training?
I ws looking for that too.
what was the magnesium supplement you guys mentioned in the episode?
Pillar performance, there’s a link in the description of the video
Excellent episode, 👌🏼
thanks for tuning in
What is pillar?
"You are better off smoking and exercising than not exercising and smoking" duh
Does he mean not exercising AND not smoking? 😅
Very interesting 👌
What was the name of the mat? I couldn’t understand
Shakti Mat
you should try and get a podcast with ben healy before he takes the tour entertament to another level and amstill gold
