Push harder. Train harder. Do more. The problem was that my body often had a very different opinion. In this episode, I introduce heart rate variability, or HRV, and explain why it has become one of my favorite tools for understanding recovery, stress, and training readiness. I also share how using Morpheus transformed my relationship with cardio by helping me work with my body instead of constantly trying to overpower it. More effort isn't always the answer. Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is listen more closely. Want to keep going?
