Marco Altini

Exploring the challenges of tracking metrics and estimates in training, from validating data to individualizing approaches. Discussing the complexities of measuring training metrics and the potential negative effects of excessive monitoring. Delving into the challenges of translating lab measurements to real-world cycling scenarios and the importance of accurate metrics for sports performance tracking. Exploring the significance of subjective metrics like RPE alongside objective measurements and warning against overreliance on too many measurements for tracking performance.

Marco Altini is a data scientist, computer science engineer, high performance coach and founder of HRV4TRAINING. In this episode we talk about heart rate variability or HRV. Measuring HRV is an effective way to capture our body’s response to stress and how it's responding and adapting ​to training and lifestyle stressors. In this episode, we learn what heart rate variability is, how to measure it, how to interpret the data, how to use them to make conscious decisions related to our training and lifestyle. Most importantly, we approach the topic of training embracing its complexity, without giving easy answers, but trying to understand the context and reason behind some choices and patterns that we observe, and how technology can be a great tool to increase our knowledge and awareness.
