Let’s look at high-intensity interval training (HIIT) as an example. HIIT workouts alternate fixed periods of intense effort with fixed periods of rest. However, these fixed periods of rest are just estimates of recovery times.
Heart rate data can create a more individualized picture of actual recovery needs, which may be faster or slower than you expect.
Sometimes, the mind says yes but the heart says not quite yet.
A good coach does more than just simply ask for more. They also help keep clients out of the unproductive “junk volume” zone, where fatigue accumulates but performance doesn’t improve (and maybe even worsens).
