HRV tank and RHR rising
Cross posting between the garmin sub and here! I’m sure there’s plenty of posts like this already but thought I would most with my exact metrics and share my concern.
For context, I am 24 M, Training for a marathon and just someone who is relatively active and picked up my training intensity at the start of this year. I’ve had a marathon prep block before starting in April into October last year so not new to this kind of intensity. The differences are that this year I’m running a lot more, and doing more of a triathlon training and for majority of this year I didn’t really feel that fatigued or burnt out until recently as my metrics seem to show some concerning signs.
I know these are just wrist devices but can’t help but notice my RHR has been rising and HRV have been plummeting the past few weeks. The usual I’ve tried taking care of sleep even more if I could, eat well before bedtime including fluids, really dial down my workouts including this week (Tapering for a half this weekend).
This week because of these metrics I’ve stopped myself doing my usual workout load and since they haven’t gotten better I just feel even worse because I didn’t workout and my metrics are low so I feel like I should’ve just worked out anyway. I notice maybe I’m slightly more fatigued than usual but idk how much of it is because I’ve been obsessing over these metrics and how much of it is in my head.
I’ve included my Garmin stats as well.
If anyone has any advice or anything insightful that I can try / understand please lmk! Appreciate any help.
