I don't really prefer, I don't like doing hot to cold.

I get blood pressure changes that are like too much.

Yeah.

For me, I'm just like, I have to wait a little bit before, especially if I'm like hot tub into the cold.

I have to, I've had like some scary times where I'm like, like just, I didn't like it.

Um, okay.

So you were talking a little bit about, um, HRV and that's, and you talk about heart rate variability.

And I wanted to talk about, we were talking, chatting a little bit about this before, before we got on camera and, um, for, for measuring something that people can like, you know, maybe on their wearable device, measure a marker of recovery.

Now you said subjective, how you feel about,

wins yeah okay um and it seems to be the case with almost everything like like how hard are you going do you feel like how what's your heart rate going up to or do you feel like your perceived exertions oh your perceived exertion is going to win right yeah yeah um so ben levine was on the podcast and he was actually arguing that heart rate variability is extremely variable in terms of the way it's it's measured and you know he he just sees

Tons of variability, like plus or minus 25% constantly, depending on the variety of factors, the time of day, their breathing, just everything like that.

And he likes to look at resting heart rate, like first thing when you wake up in the morning, what's your resting heart rate, as a good marker of recovery.

And if your resting heart rate's higher...

then it should be, then it's kind of like, okay, maybe you're getting into this over non-functional overreaching, which I want to talk about over training.

Yeah.

Nice use, by the way.

Good gig.

Thank you.

That's good.

But HRV.
