Hi UKB,
I've always had issues with determining how much I should be training in order to let supercompensation do it's thing. In the past, I feel like I've erred on the side of too much volume - often far too much, with insufficient rest.
A bit of reading around has suggested using resting heart rate as an objective metric of recovery (allowing for a certain variation due to work stress etc). Does anybody have any experience with using this metric?
Apparently there are other more accurate ways to measure recovery (for example cortisol levels and heart rate variability), but they seem like an enormous faff in general.
Thanks in advance,
Chris.
