Heart Rate 2

[DRIVETRAIN]

 

Following on the previous topic on Heart Rate - I have a question or 2:

 

1) Is it possible that your resting heart rate can fluctuate from 32pbm to 48bpm - "4 morning's in a row?"

 

Scenario:

U have been training 6 days a week, resting 1 day doing NOTHING PHYSICAL - also stressed out at times with work, upcoming race etc. I checked my Heart Rate monitor's settings & they seem right  

 

Are these factors that will influence fluctuation like that ???

 

What other explanations are there that can explain fluctuating resting heart rate ??

By taking your heartrate in the mornings, and seeing an abnormally high HR like you just explain, might be an early sign that you're getting sick. When i used to do that back in the day I used it as an early warning sign to up my meds.

[Help.Me.]

will it be of any benefit if one can create a logsheet/excell sheet and all the hubbers log their weight ,age , restHR, bike weight ,max HR, Avg HR etc etc on it for comparison ??To have a link that takes on there automatically?
