Show Notes

  1. “If you’re not fit enough and you’re not strong enough and you don’t move well, it really doesn’t matter what data you’re collecting off my back.” – SIMPLE: get the basics right.

  2. The setup and environment of your training can make a MASSIVE difference. If you can setup your training stations so that you can watch multiple exercises and athletes at the same time, you can simply do more and BETTER coaching.

  3. Improve performance in your WHOLE Life – you improve your “longevity” if you start caring about yourself. Whether you are an athlete or not!

Have you ever thought about what tools are best for telling us when to apply HIIT the next time? How do we know when we will handle it again without driving our athlete into overtraining or injury risk? If you’ve read our ​book​ or taken our ​course​, you’ll know about how important this variable will be when we look to design the ideal program. Both heart rate variability and subjective comments were key factors we discussed. But is one better than the other?
Maybe. We’ve stumbled upon an incredible study that might just help clear our thoughts on the matter in terms of athlete readiness and when to apply HIIT again in the future to maximize performance potential. The blog post written by ​Diego Hilgemberg Figueiredo​ compares training plans guided by either HRV or subjective inner feelings. The findings may surprise you. Check out a sneak peak in the graphic below as to why heart rate and HRV can’t always bring us certainty around readiness to perform. They’re good, and helpful, but you must know your context! Combine it with feel to get the most power in your programming.
