Measuring Heart Rate Variability – R-R Recording Heart rate varies with every heartbeat. Heart rate variability (HRV) is the timing between beats, also known as R-R intervals. An average heart rate of 60 beats per minute (bpm) does not mean that the interval between successive heartbeats would be exactly 1.0 sec, instead they may fluctuate/vary from 0.5 sec up to 2.0 sec. HRV is affected by aerobic fitness and is generally large at rest for a well conditioned heart. Other factors that affect HRV

However, if you overload too much the effect to overall performance gains can be negative. To avoid this, overloading must always be followed by an adequate recovery period.

Running Index Combining aerobic fitness (VO ) and exercise economy (how efficient 2max your body is at running), Running Index offers an easy way to measure performance (how fast/easily you run at a given pace). By recording your Running Index over time, you can monitor progress. Improvement means that running at a given pace requires less of an effort, or that your pace is faster at a given level of exertion. You can improve your Running Index results by improving your fitness level and running
