Measure Heart Rate Recovery After Maximal Effort

After reaching maximal exhaustion, measure heart rate recovery as a better metric than peak heart rate itself. Target about a 30 bpm drop in the first 60 seconds and about 60 bpm by two minutes.

“In this case, your heart rate recovery is the better metric. So I want you to get up to a maximum heart rate and then test your heart rate recovery.”
