Episode #20: Let's Talk About Athlete Recovery with Joel Jamieson
Joel Jamieson of 8WeeksOut on what heart rate variability actually tells you and why you read it as a trend over weeks, not a daily score. Also why a consistent sleep schedule beats chasing hours, setting conditioning by heart rate, and why fighters gas out.

This week we chat with none other than Joel Jamieson. Joel is an authority on strength and conditioning for combat sports and a thought leader in the industry. He has trained multiple championship athletes, authored a bestselling book and pioneered countless training innovations. He is the founder and CEO of both 8WeeksOut , a site dedicated to recovery-driven conditioning and performance, and Morpheus Labs Inc , the world's first personalized heart rate training platform.
Much of our conversation with Joel was centered on recovery. Joel educates us on his favorite metric to measure how an athlete’s body is recovering - Heart Rate Variability (HRV), and how it can be used by coaches to make training plan adjustments. He also speaks extensively on the importance of sleep and dispels some of the bad advice out there on it. Quality sleep is a huge driver of recovery, and strongly linked to one’s HRV.
