BTW , i read somewhere that Miguel Indurain had a resting HR of about 28 BPM... not sure if thats an urban myth or what, but if you do 40,000 kms a year on two wheels that could happen, eh |
The Indurain storry should be true. Dont forget it was the happy epo 90's that made the blod thicker and made it pump slower....
You are quit right about the RHR Resting Hear Rate should be measured as you wake up.
At night your pulse will go up and down. Not two nights are the same not even the rhr. Keep the reason for measuring the rhr in mind. You need to measure the rhr at a time that can be compared day to day so you can adjust your training accordingly.
Dont know what I am talking about read this =>
