There won’t be a workout today, because I’ll be following the recommendation of today’s “Readiness” score as calculated by the EliteHRV app’s analysis of my heart rate variability.
I think EliteHRV may be mistaken, but will go along with the recommendation anyway, because there are plenty of other things to do.
Before signing off from writing in this blog today, I will note that today’s title is in reference to the clear graphical demonstration when you look at a graph of heart rate and effort level vs time, as you can see in the chart below. Notice that heart rate starts climbing after each interval begins and heart rate continues to climb for quite a while after each interval ends.
I just think that is interesting. The effect is more pronounced when the intervals are at higher effort levels.
Happy rowing to you!
