Represent a metric in the performance manage dashboard (HRV particularly)
I think it would be extremely interesting if we could represent at least one metric in the performance manage dashboard, for personal analysis.
For instance, in my case I want to display HRV -in fact I enter the 10 day rolling average value of HRV, that I obtain from another system- against the already visible CTL, Fatigue, Form, TSS... I have found trends in HRV (the 10 day RA) to be of great significance when gauging if your body is being able or not to cope with the energy demands of training and life in general.
For example, I was following a training regime where theoretically my CTL increased, while keeping fatigue and form more or less under control. If the adaptation had been positive, I would have expected an increase in HRV trends; but in fact it was plumbing slowly but steadily, because I am also following a keto diet, so I understood that training load was excessive in that context and had to step back, to avoid overtraining. Soon after that I've seen my HRV numbers increase, while keeping CTL and form stable, and seeing progress with my keto diet.
A proper HRV value for instance can be used to account for a lot of the things going on in your body (and life: stress, illness, diets, etc...) and that will affect fatigue, recovery, training capacity and thus form.
In general, I think that being able to cross-examine metrics against performance parameters is extremely interesting (with the necessary understanding that obviously there isn't always a correlation).

I think it would be great if we could see and integration where we can create graphs where you chose from drop downs like it currently does under the metrics page, comparing TSS vs HRV as High load depresses HRV but recovery restores it, which could help with early detection of nonfunctional overreaching. ATL/CTL ratio vs Fatigue or Mood ACWR helps perdict injury and visualize burnout, TSS vs Sleep hours and Sleep Quality heavy training increases sleep demand and this would allow you to see weather you are meeting the recovery needs of your body, or Form (TSB) vs motivation or mood positive TSB could align with mental readiness, ideal racing taper indicating. I think that allow you to dive in to the data WITHOUT AI, and a athlete or a coach who understand what they are looking at would provide huge invites, I think that if I had this data back in march or early April I could of prevented my 2 steps fractures.
