Marius Posted November 16, 2006 Share I got this of the Net: Resting Heart Rate Before calculating target heart rate zones (THR) you need to determine your resting heart rate (RHR). To do this simply take a reading with your heart rate monitor or take your pulse first thing in the morning before getting out of bed. If you need to use the bathroom do so and lie back down for a minute, then take your HR as a full bladder can increase your heart rate. Take your HR for at least three days then average it out. RHR is also useful information to monitor your health and training. With improvement in your fitness level you should see your RHR decrease. Likewise a RHR 10% above your normal level usually indicates you are overtraining and/or sick and some rest is required. Take a day off or just do an easy workout. Listen to your body! ** My question. I took my RHR the morning before the Simonsvlei race and got 51bpm. I raced and felts like crap and my throat was sore the morning and still is today. I've not cycled the last 3days and continued taking my RHR every morning.<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> So Sunday it was 51bpm - Raced and felt crapMonday - 46bmp RHR - Throat still sore - No cyclingTuesday - 44bpm RHR - Throat still sore - No cyclingWednesday - 41bmp RHR - Throat still sore - No cyclingToday - 44bpm RHR - Throat still sore - AND I AM GOING CYLING! My QUISTION is, they say when you sick your RHR is up by 10%, if I had to guess my AV RHR over 3day would be 43bpm - so if I plus 10% will that be the HR I'm not suppose to ride at eg. 47.5??Bpm How much should a person read into this stuff??

Canaris Posted November 16, 2006 Share Marius, how dare you use this "sickness" to shamelessly show off that you are so anal retentive that you actually measure and log your waking heart rate, and that it is almost under 40bpm, (with a "cold" nogal). You could have done some serious damage to someones ego with this type of blatant bragging (and trying to hide behind fake ignorance). Please post an apology immediately. right now..... lastly, listen to your body (if you have a partner hers/his body). Like it is not right to cycle, the bed is farmore enjoyable....... or I feel crap to day, so no cycling. (Never race if you feel crap, never, ever......)

MWdeJager Posted November 16, 2006 Share Konafan is net jaloers op jou obviously superiour condition M. Hou nou op om 'n seer keel met 'n verkoue te verwar. Gaan dokter toe, en kry medisyne vir daai seer keel. Hulle kan dit genees jy weet! Antibiotika=Baterie? dood. Hulle kan niks aan 'n verkoue doen nie, net die simptome miskien 'n bietjie verlig.

smallrebel Posted November 16, 2006 Share Kan nie glo Marius was nog nie by 'n dokter gewees nie. Is moontlik net 'n bietjie infeksie wat 'n antibiotika in 3 dae kon reg ruk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted November 16, 2006 Share Thx Kona, and sorry... but I don't think my RHR will go own more when I'm healthy again, will keep checking for the rest of the month just to satisfy my own curiosity. As for not racing, mmm, that's a tricky one..but see I'm pretty useless when I do cycle when I'm not 100%. MW, ek <?:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />kan nie net DR. gaan nie, gaan maar nog gorrel met sout, can I buy the antibiotics from a pharmacy without a prescription??

Canaris Posted November 16, 2006 Share THere are some psuedo antibiotics available over the counter, but just check that they are not on the dope list. Alternatives graze your way through your herb garden. Honey, Thyme, rosemary, sage, chilli ext all have some antibiotic properties (if I remember correctly, but just check ie google it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Seuss Posted November 16, 2006 Share if my RHR was 41bpm i would most probably be dead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dis presies waarom die dokters jou sulke belaglike pryse kan vra vir 'n 15 minute konsultasie. Want hulle het die alleenreg om Antibiotics voor te skryf. As iemand weet van 'n apteker wat jou sal diagnoseer en sommer Antibiotics ook sal verkoop sonder 'n voorskrif, dan wil ek ook daarvan weet asb.

Marius Posted November 16, 2006 Share thx Kona, will try the Pseudo approach or maybe just go see a Dr. Next time. The throat thing usually just last a week. But I had the same thing 2weeks back so it's a first that I get it so close after the other one, weird.<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
