Heart rate monitor?
How long does it take to reach your target heart rate? Also I understand that if you take your heat
rate in the morning before you get out of bed, you can see if you are overtraining. If your heart beat goes up 5 or more, then you are overtraining. As an X-body builder that is what we were taught. How true is this? Richard |

I've read this as well but haven't verified it. Other factors could have the same effect on heart rate for example if you had a bad or short nights sleep, if you're waking up ill or with a hangover or stressed the same result can happen. To really know, you'd probably need to know what level of sleep you are in when you wake up. Wake up in that re-occurring dream about missing your final exams and you might think that you're overtraining. I've yet to learn anything about myself from my heartrate monitor that I didn't already know but I'm still new to the data my monitor provides. |

I think the point is: if you wake with an elevated heart rate, for whatever reason, it is best to take it easy. Richard |

Re: Heart rate monitor?
Actually, I think the point is: be thoughtful about using your HR as a guide to overtraining. If you
wake up from a bad dream with your heart racing. It doesn't mean you're overtraining.

It doesn't mean you're overtraining. Sure. I think, too, if you're monitoring your waking heart rate for any amount of time, you get a feel for it. When I get a number that surprises me, I get another read. If it's an aberration (sometimes the hrm throws goofy numbers for no apparent reason), the number will settle into the expected range. If the number stays high, it may not be exclusively from over-training, but is still a good indication to take it easy. Richard |
