Marco Altini

Yeah, Substack, I would say.

That would be marcolettini.substack.com. Um, yeah, that would be the best way, I think, for, for the content related to all things training, coaching, heart rate variability, metabolic flexibility, and so on.

More on that later because I have much more to share on that topic of when the freediving instructor's lifestyle becomes too much, something I've been reflecting on a lot and perhaps ignoring a little bit for the last couple of years.

And on today's episode, I'm very excited to welcome Marco Altini.

Marco is a scientist, developer and athletic coach whose work centers on the intersection of health, technology and human performance.

In 2012, he founded HRV4Training, a mobile platform that revolutionized physiological tracking by becoming the first app capable of reliably measuring heart rate variability, HRV4Training.

So there's a lot of content about HRV and many of the things that we discussed today.

So I think it's easy to find.

It's my name, Marco Altini, and substack.com. And there's a lot of longer form writing that maybe some people could find useful.

And do you have any plans for the app or like, you know, off topic or other ideas that you're working on other projects? Like what are you working on now professionally, Marco?

But to

that point, and sorry to squeeze that in the words into you, I did want to mention, because we had Marco Altini on just a few weeks ago, and he makes a really clear point so people don't get obsessive over, I just want to raise, raise, raise, raise, raise.

A steady HRV should be much more of a goal than... consistently trying to hone in on every week.

Did my HRV rise? Did my HRV rise? I think he talks a lot about having a steady range, you know, like my HRV continues to go up and down within this range and it's steady, which means my nervous system is steady.

So the stride prediction that we talked about previously is 130,000. like roughly 1.30 plus or minus a minute 50, right? It's 1.30 and 54 seconds plus or minus 1.49.

I also checked previous guest Marco Altini's HR Viva Training Pro version where it gives you an estimate and that's 1.30 plus or minus, and the range there was 1.28 to 1.32.

So pretty much the same.

My Coros on the other hand thinks it's going to be a 123 and I won't necessarily out Marco as to what he said about that.

Um, we've got one which were amazing, and in fact, this is, to bring it back to the carbohydrate load and the, the difference between muscle glycogen and, and its usefulness during training and racing versus your much more sort of immediate stores.

Um, and I think Marco Altini sort of, um, talks about this too, and I love his very detailed blogs on his own journey-

Yeah

... with metabolic flexibility.
