decrease of heart rates
Hi all,
Is it a normal symptom that after some time of training with low heart rates (aerobic zone, below 70% of Max HR or even less) the body, so to speak, switches to lower heart rates? I.e. it gets harder to ride on higher heart rates. For roughly a month I've been training below 70% of HRmax and recently I observed, that my heart rate during relaxed pedaling is significantly lower than it used to be a month ago. I wonder if it's just a normal, let's say, adaptation, and my aerobic capacity has increased, or could it mean something else (overstraining maybe?). My rides before I noticed the above were 2,5 h long on the avg, around 13 hrs a week, below 70% hrmax, half of the time even below 65% hrmax. I'd like to add that low HR is typical for me (45 resting, 24h avg 55), yet at present it's like when I accelerate to above 70% of HRmax I start to fell my legs getting heavy. I don't remember anything like that happening last season. I hope that when I introduce some "faster", anaerobic rides, this will change back to "normal". Thanks in advance for any ideas, Lechu |

Most riders would view this as an achievement. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug. Some gardening required to reply via email. Words processed in a facility that contains nuts. |

Ok, but even when riding il relativly slow leisurely pace, I feel exhaustion, despite not having reached 70% of my HRmax. I don't feel comfortable with that. Lechu |

How long have you been feeling that way if you've only been doing the easy riding for a month? You could just be getting sick -- or some other outside inluencer. Change in prevailing winds? Stress at work? -Mike |

decrease of heart rates
a principle-check the rate when awakenbing in bed the morning after hard training sessions if the rate is slower then the session maybe was to difficult and you should back off a bit |
