Hi Makrus,

Regarding Whoop: i agree that its nice backed with research. I don’t think that there should other data be used i just wanted to highlight, that i end up with relatively high RHR. Lately i could lower it but it still hovers around 65 bpm. I do like 90-120 mins of strength training per week and 3-4h cardio, HR based 142 bpm (MAF).
Whoops RHR and HRV is taken, to my knowledge, at the last deep sleep segment of the night. Wrist worn Wearables, are well known struggling in sleep stage detection. For some its better for others worse but overall, we only get an idea about the time asleep not so much about light, deep and REM. With this source of errors, the measurements for RHR + HRV for the last block of deep sleep is already questionable from my point of view and could be wrong already. But it will be the base for the calculations, righ t?
Last night for example: my RHR reported by Whoop: 68 bpm.
If I go to the data of the night, shortly after falling asleep first deep sleep block reported by whoop with RHR of 57 bpm.
I think that’s a huge discrepancy and potentially a big impact on the calculat ions?
To be honest, I did not feel nice after getting up this morning, sleep amount fine but else, headache etc. far away from feeling reaching new grounds.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to question Whoops way of doing things, actually I have 1300 Days of Data so this data is somehow my truth.
These thoughts came up, when I saw my todays Dashboard and my Aerobic Recovery showing 3% only whilst my RHR is only 4 bpm above average and HRV 2 ms below average. That 3% was bit shocking and would make skip any cardio that day but potentially this number is right. Just sharing thoughts and feelings of my experience so far.
This is potentially result of my HRV and RHR in the last month reached a plateau. Not moving a lot and hovering around their averages.
My question towards strength training was more related how the stress/strain or training load will be calculated/considered or reflected. Actually, it’s good, that whoop workouts are not synced into AI Endurance to avoid duplicates and, sadly, Whoop does not consider Watts and Cadence, HR only.
Best regards
