HRV Training
YOUB helps you adjust training when your body sends a warning signal. So training stops feeling like another thing to manage — and starts feeling like progress again.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a direct window into your autonomic nervous system. A drop in HRV indicates your body is still absorbing stress, meaning hard intervals might do more harm than good.
A low HRV score shouldn't mean staying in bed all day. YOUB combines HRV and sleep data with your subjective feedback and planned load to decide whether to push, reduce intensity, or swap workouts.
YOUB doesn't trap you in a dashboard full of numbers. The coach reaches out proactively, asks follow-up questions, and explains its decisions in conversation.
YOUB processes your health, training, and calendar data only to deliver your coaching. Everything is built around clarity: you should understand why a session was adjusted.
Coaching scenario
When HRV Training suggests that a demanding session does not fit the current state, YOUB does not react to one metric alone. The coach compares training history, subjective feedback, calendar pressure, and the next goal before suggesting an adjustment.
Depending on connected sources, YOUB can use completed sessions, duration, intensity, heart rate, sleep, recovery signals, availability, and goal dates. No single value decides the plan on its own.
A session can be moved, shortened, replaced, or intentionally kept. The decision is whether the change protects the long-term training goal while respecting real-life constraints and recovery.
YOUB provides coaching suggestions, not diagnoses. Pain, illness, injury, and medical questions belong with qualified medical professionals rather than an automated training decision.
For Training Plan Based on HRV, Sleep and Recovery, the next workout is only one part of the decision. YOUB looks at the whole week: hard stimuli, recovery, long sessions, and calendar commitments need to fit together so the plan stays understandable and does not collapse after the first schedule change.
YOUB turns adaptations into a clear recommendation with a reason: why the session still makes sense, which risk is being reduced, and which alternative best supports the goal. The result is an understandable coaching dialogue, not an anonymous plan change, including a short follow-up question when the data or real-life context is not clear enough.

FAQ
We sync recovery and HRV data from WHOOP, Oura, and compatible Garmin devices directly into the coaching model.
Not necessarily. YOUB calculates the optimal modification (e.g. converting a hard interval session into an active recovery spin) to maintain consistency safely.
