FanieFiets Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Last couple of rides on the bike I couldnt get it up at all (HR!!). In Sundays race my max was 175 with an average of 145. While running I have no trouble of reaching very close to my max.....last weeks 5 km TT i had an avr of 185 and max of 200. I am NOT overtraining and usually do one day cycling and one day of running. Why cant I get my HR up on the bicycle even though it feels like I am giving it my all?
SUPER M Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) It might be an indication that you are getting sick or that your body is fighting a virus or cold of some sort, and therefore your system is bit down. You might not even know your sick or feel sick but that doesn't necessarily mean that your body isn't fighting a virus or something. Edited March 1, 2011 by CAPTAIN COMMENCAL
Face Plant Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Fanie, i had the same experience some time ago but i experienced it on the bike and on the run so its even more strange that you can get your HR up on the run but not on the bike?? by the way i never did find out what the cause was i just wrote it off as my HRM playing up
SUPER M Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Well then I don't have a clue. Sorry I couldn't help.
Face Plant Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 captain you are spot on with what you saying but if your body is protecting its self so to speak i think his heart rate would stay low on the run aswell? i couldnt explain my experience and the only thing i thought it may be is that my HRM wasnt picking up my HR correctly.. but i totally agree with you that if you fighting a virus or something like that your body will go into "protection mode"

Maybe your main cycling muscles are fatigued and cannot produce the power to achieve your expected HR, due to the fatigue it will feel like you are at max effort but in reality you’re not. Perhaps the 5k TT is the culprit that tired your legs, or a culmination of lots of training?.
Wil6 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Or maybe...just maybe it is when your running much more blood flow is required to keep those boobies bouncing
Supersix EVO Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Maybe check your resting heart rate in the morning to see if it is normal or not. if not then you might be getting the flu. Just stock up on those vits.
SUPER M Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I agree with you 100% I just didn't read the post correctly (whoops). Thought his heart rate stayed down while cycling and running and not only while cycling.
Jeepdude Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 howdy...... my garmin heart rate has been playing up too. i have washed the strap(fabric) helped a bit... replace the battery then i got this e-mail If your GPS has been playing up, your internet a bit patchy and telecommunications scratchy, don't panic Solar flares can wipe out communications, power grids, affect short wave communication and alter the orbit of satellites. Heightened solar activity brings with it risks for military and airline communication, GPS signals and cell phones. And don't phone the company that's providing the service because there is probably very little they can do about it. The truth is planet Earth has been battered by what experts call a solar coronal mass ejection - a solar flare. You may have noticed crackly and scratchy phone lines, and cellular outages last week and yesterday.Simply described, solar flares are bursts of magnetic energy released as radiation from the sun. Space weather forecaster Kobus Olckers from the Space Weather Warning Centre at the Hermanus Magnetic Observatory said the first flare was so fast, it was called a plasma bullet. It raced to earth at a speed of 1400 kilometres a second. The solar flare that left the sun on Valentine's Day and reached earth on Thursday travelled at a more sedate 600 kilometres a second. "It's like a huge magnet racing towards the earth," said Olckers. According to the Christian Science Monitor the solar flare which left the sun on Valentine's Day, and its attendant torrent of solar wind - the biggest of its kind in four years - glanced off of the Earth's North Pole, warping the electric currents in our upper atmosphere and blacking out shortwave radio transmissions in southern China. Olckers said solar flares affected every part of the earth in different ways. Predicting how these flares affect the planet is problematic, but Olckers says that because of the increased technology man uses, we have become more susceptible to the effects of solar flares. "People don't realise how dependent we are on satellites." So how would your GPS be affected. Again simply explained, the signals beamed up from your device become slightly warped, so that the signal sent back to you may place your car a few blocks from where you are actually located. Powerlines, the internet and anything that carries some form of electrical current are susceptible to the effects of solar flares. And this latest series of solar flares is by no means the biggest to hit earth. In 1989 the electric grid in Canada's Quebec province was put out of action while another solar flare was blamed for the computer crashes that brought trading on Toronto's stock exchange to a grinding halt. The strongest solar flare known to have hit this planet occurred in September 1859. It was by all accounts the biggest disruption of the earth's magnetic field. Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed. In some instances telegraph operators were shocked. The New York Times reported on September 3, 1859 that there was so much electromagnetic current in the atmosphere that two telegraph operators disconnected their batteries and sent messages drawing from the current in the atmosphere. They were 180 kilometres apart in Boston and Portland in the state of Maine. But while there has been talk of what the effect might be on communications, one of the most dramatic effects that many in the Northern Hemisphere have been looking forward to is a brightening of the aurora borealis, the famous northern lights that are normally only seen in the sky over Arctic regions. The Washington Post newspaper reported that residents in the United States' capital city could possibly have an opportunity of seeing the phenomenon if they went out into nearby rural areas away from city lights. In fact in 1859 the aurora borealis could be seen as far south in the Caribbean Sea city of Havana in Cuba. What should South Africans be concerned about? According to Olckers it would be a wise move to stay out of the sun over the next few days as radiation is at higher levels than normal. And in the meantime be patient with either your GPS and internet. Other than that there is no reason to panic. Kind regards Michael SmitSAVANNAHEmail: Michael.Smit@savannah.co.za
Face Plant Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Bliksem okay now thats a curveball i didnt see coming!! takes the train of thought in a total differnet direction
FanieFiets Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Hi, the weirdest thing is that my HR has no problem with the running, will check this afternoon again as my hr avr with yesterdays ride were 125. My HR goes higher just looking at my avatar. Think Swiss my be correct that my cycling muscles are fatigued. They had a limp noodley feeling the last couple of weeks, but still I feel that I give enough time for them to recover. I havent ridden more than 3 times a week the last month, maybe the running has a bigger effect on the cycling than the cycling on the running? Any pro tri or du guys that experienced something similar? Another factor can be that I have a new bike and the setup is a bit different to my old one and new muscles are being used that are a bit useless at the moment. Resting HR is fine as well as the recovery after a hard effort.
FanieFiets Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 thnx jeepdude, maybe just have to recalibrate my pacemaker
Jeepdude Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 thnx jeepdude, maybe just have to recalibrate my pacemaker bwahahahahaha might have a lot of either tired or skips in their steps elderly inhabitants of retirement villages..

Hmmm... interesting scenario.
Marius Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Dus normal Fanie! Jy net besig om draf fiks te word.
