This week, we have a coaching call EC hosted recently with a listener named Nate. They talk about the limitations of wearable devices in tracking fitness & recovery and the importance of relying on performance and individual experience as indicators of training status.
Topics include:
• Understanding overtraining, over reaching, and peaking
• Measuring recovery via biomarkers like heart-rate variability, resting heart rate, and oxygen saturation
• When assessing progress, consider factors beyond wearable metrics, such as sleep quality and overall well-being.
• Understand and respect one’s own limits in training and performance.
• Take rest periods and listen to the body’s signals for optimal fitness.
• Prioritize consistency in training, rest, and nutrition for long-term fitness goals.
