Hey all,
I was curious how long it took you notice an improvement in resting heart rate, blood pressure, rate of recovery after a ride, etc. I'm disappointed that after 5 months of cycling (started at about 30 miles/week, now 120+/wk) my resting heart rate is still high (80-85), my blood pressure is still high for my age (130/70 at 20) and it takes 1-2 hours for my heart rate to recover to <90.
I was hoping to get some feedback on what other people have observed to see if this is a typical result or something I should be concerned about.
