Hi there all,

I did a lactate threshold examination with my heart price screen recently, by doing a 30-minute time test and averaging the Human Resources from min 10 to minute 30. I obtained a disconcerting outcome: 194 bpm. The highest I’ve ever before seen my Human Resources is 204 so I figure limit has to do with 205. When I did the exact same thing in July, when I was very new, I acquired a much more reasonable outcome, 185.

I’m not very quickly; I acquired gone down on a quick group ride last month. So I’m guessing that my heart is beating truly fast since I have various limiting elements than your ordinary rider. Like, maybe my legs have great stamina to consume a heap of air for 30 minutes, yet there isn’t enough hemoglobin in my blood to carry it there. If that’s the case, I’m questioning just what can be finished with diet/training to grow more red blood cells. If anybody has other concepts for exactly what could be the cause, I would certainly adore to hear them!

Thanks.
