Most days I don't have a lot of time on my hands so I just kind of start my sprint training (or powering up inclines...all high intensity interval type trainings) right off the bat with very little (or no) warm up.
Today I had time. I actually played an hour of tennis earlier in the day. Rested and checked emails for about 1 1/2 hours, then walked for 1 mile, and right after that walk I felt "good", as in I could just tell my lungs and HR were well suited for some sprints. On bad days my HR jumps up to redline soooo quickly. So anyway after my walk I did a few sprints on my bike. I was right....it took a lot of work to get my HR up and my lungs felt great...never felt short of breath.
Is it likely that this is a direct effect of having done some activities earlier and walking beforehand to warm up? Or is it probably coincidental?
And while on that topic do any of you guys have days were you can do more (as far as HR and lungs go)? Last Thursday I was the opposite. The slightest bit of exercise made my HR soar. Yet 48 hrs later I feel like I'm 18. Why is that?
