One problem with using HRV as a training guide is that, unless you can actually see the rhythm, the unit can't distinguish between SA variances and PACs (premature atrial contractions). I would suggest seeing a physician and getting an EKG to make sure that you don't have PACs, especially if you are an older cyclist.
