Elevated HR

DateMonday, August 24, 2009 at 7:46AM

I did a mega-workout on Saturday, 5.5 hours of swimming, biking and running. 3300 yards, 120 minutes, and 3 hours respectively.  That afternoon, I noticed my heart rate would jump anytime I even got up off the couch.

The next morning, it wasn't high just laying there, but would jump again when I got up and moved around.  I went on my typical 4 hour Sunday bike ride that I enjoy so much and the symptoms got worse that afternoon.  I was planning on going on an afternoon run, but scrapped it.

For me and many others, HR that jumps up when not doing much is a sign of overtraining.  It's a sign that you should take a break for a day or more until it goes away.

Funny thing is, the body is always giving us signals about what to do.  You just have to listen and respond.
