Overnight/morning HRV

General
1

Potential new user here and have a few questions.
1 How essential is overnight/ morning HRV data to getting the most out of Athletics?
2. Does Athletica populate itself with past data in order to getting a starting position. I understand that Garmin data is preferred but in my case my Garmin data is a mixture of incomplete and duplicated IE a mess. My Strava data however is clean. Can you start of with Strava then switch to Garmin?
3. Which workout players are easiest to use with Athletics?
Thanks

Hi @Carytb,
Welcome. Please note that we have a peer-reviewed paper, blog post, broadcast, and podcast on this topic that should emerge in the next two or three weeks. Keep an eye out.

  1. Not essential but it will become very helpful in coming months.
  2. Yes it does. Yes that is a good way to go about it.
  3. Garmin Connect.
    Best,
    Paul

@Prof For what it’s worth, if HRV is being added to the system, I’d love to see an integration with Whoop.

More coming in this space throughout the week, but to begin, here is the published work by @Andrea and colleagues that show the backend working system in Athletica being developed.

Hi! I have a Garmin 945 a don’t really want to upgrade quite yet. Is there a work around to incorporate daily hrv from the 3 minute reading rather than the overnight in athletica? Thanks!

Hey @wilcoxa35 :smiley:
Garmin 945 doesn’t have overnight HRV? bummer!
That’s a great question, and perhaps something @Andrea can answer… ?
Ayn, are you using HRV4Training or other app - perhaps we could implement a simple “Insert your HRV reading here” function in the future, @Prof

Is there any integration with HRV4Training planned? I use an Oura ring, since I can’t bear to wear a watch overnight, and I have HRV4Training synced with Training Peaks and Intervals.icu, but it would be nice to have everything in one place.

We agree @BevOutside … unfortunately Marco isn’t keen on doing further integrations at this point. Possibly Oura or Whoop at a later date.

For intervals.icu, HRV4Training data are imported from the HRV4Training data file saved to Dropbox - there’s no real integration there.

Thanks for the quick reply MJ! I am doing the HRV 3 minute “test” on my 945, which shows a point in time hrv. I am not using any 3rd party apps to trend over time.

How about a manual entry option of HRV taken from HRV4 Training into Athletica (similar to when you do a manual entry of your training when you don’t have the Garmin/Strava file)… just a thought!
