8 x 4 mins at 24 spm 2k+12, that should be.

Oh, and I've signed up to the challenge so that's added 48,000 metres.

HRV seems to be the new buzz in training data. I think that the Whoop band/app essentially does a measurement of it, although most new Garmin watches will provide it too. Back in the day, advanced Polar HRMs had a lie down/stand protocol which would do something similar.
If HRV is high, you'll be able to respond well to training but like Nellers says, if you've got a lot of multisport training to plough through every week, there often isn't time to schedule a rest if it drops. At the end of August I somehow managed to boost my HRV to the top of my natural range for a few weeks (probably to do with being relaxed and having a week off work in the nice weather as much as anything - mood can affect it a bit, apparently) and in that period set some fast bike TT times.

Principles are a bit scientific. In practice it's a case of spending one minute with your finger over the camera on your phone in the morning and doing what the app tells you. Simples.
Nice session and well done for signing up.

My Garmin tells me each morning whether my HRV is balanced or not. It's definitely not very high at the moment; I'm wondering whether that will change with increased fitness.
Going to nick Nellers' session for my row later but halve the times. Had been thinking 3 x 12 easy but 10 - 8 - 6 - 4 is more appealing.

Yes, Oranj. That's the thing with HRV. It responds to "stress" whether that stress is physical (ie. training load) or psychological (busy at work, family rows) and even dietary (mine tends to do weird things when I drink too much of an evening and I think that's quite common).
And it's telling you if you're ready to train hard or even at all. As I'm doing multi-sports/ lots of cross-training I tend to plan a week of training then adjust things if the HRV tells me to. I don't tend to schedule a lot of full rest days but I do schedule days with limited intensity or volume and whenever the app says to "limit intensity" I can often swap sessions around to manage things, or just take a rest day and just do mobility and sometimes skills and technique stuff those days.
SK: Good plan. I like it. Just keep the recoveries short (1 min, no more) so you're getting the vast majority of the benefit of a long row. The rests are really only there to towel down, grab a quick drink and reset yourself, not really for physical recovery.

Re HRV, I’m running Athlytic for this and other factors. Runs on my Apple Watch on constant monitor ( tracks sleep too but not quite as good as Apples own built in tracker )
It’s excellent and free to boot.

Excellent! <doffs cap>
I'm a little way behind you, aiming to hit 20m by summer 2027 when I'll be 20 years erging.
