I could be fast in short races like 10k or so but high HR is really bothering me, I could feel the pounding if it hits the 18X range, feel uncomfortable to run.<br /><br />High HR could be sustainable in 10k or maybe 21k but not FM. I agree with you that multiple factors could cause the RHR fluctuation. Just trying to nail down whatever that I could control.<br /><br />I look up to IronMan like you, it is a feat that I still not dare to attempt.ChoonShihhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123054424091492403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058941.post-72629718197169504432012-11-01T17:34:36.011+08:002012-11-01T17:34:36.011+08:00:) Thanks for sharing bro.

Sometimes, it could be multiple factors.<br /><br />I tend to take the HR at the same time everytime, in almost same condition and same everything. Mine has been goign between 39 and 42. <br /><br />You are a super fast runner bro. I believe you are there with regards to fitness. I should be asking you!TriStupehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069498171367072560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058941.post-8566395042380922142012-11-01T14:18:12.081+08:002012-11-01T14:18:12.081+08:00I experienced some difference (it could be very su...I experienced some difference (it could be very subjective) when RHR fluctuates. I did not run well when my RHR overshot close to 65-70 bpm. While I would find the workout to be easier when the RHR of that morning measured around 55-60 bpm.<br /><br />Cannot tell what is my RHR. Please refer to the screenshot below because I don't know what is the correct number. http://choonshih.blogspot.com/2012/11/resting-heart-rate-2012-08-to-2012-10.htmlChoonShihhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123054424091492403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058941.post-24097137406102712992012-11-01T01:17:07.126+08:002012-11-01T01:17:07.126+08:00I always take my HR within the first minute of wak...I always take my HR within the first minute of waking up. I do not rely on alarm as i am lucky to wake up "naturally". I always use my left hand and it has to be lower than the heart position - much like how if you take blood pressure, it has to be lower than the heart position.<br /><br />Wearing a HRM to sleep is a solution - abeit an uncomfy one. But I always believe in this - consistently taking the reading using the same equipment, in the same condition, same way will yeild consistent results. <br /><br />Do not get too worked up about it being too different if you take it on the left hand or right hand, instead, use it as a guideline, unless our livelihood depends on winning races or games, we do what we feel is the best for the sports we all love.<br /><br />What's your RHR?TriStupehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069498171367072560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058941.post-61054468034224444902012-10-31T17:23:52.526+08:002012-10-31T17:23:52.526+08:00Hi, TriStupe. It is a nice write up and sharing. T... Hi, TriStupe. It is a nice write up and sharing. Thanks. I do have a few comment or doubt on the RHR. I have been tracking my RHR for the past 3-4 months and I intended to get some clue from the RHR on particular day to predict/gauge my form/fitness on that day.<br /> Taking measurement of the RHR is not easy. The easiest way to do it is with the 'Hear Rate' Apps (that you're using) or with the HRM (which could be uncomfy during the sleep). I'm not convinced that the 'Heart Rate' app is the BEST but it is certain the most convenient one. However, we need to understand the factors influencing the RHR measurement.<br /> From my experience, measurement using left and right hand could give you different HR. Mine are always different by 3-5 beats, then we would need to be very careful drawing conclusion from the HR. Since the app is based on the colour change on the skin, specifically skin on the finger tip. Temperature becomes a critical factor.<br /> Beside that, when to measure is quite tricky as well. I am convinced that the best time to measure is during the first minute of walking up. BUT... I do see difference when I was awaken by the alarm and wake up naturally. The HR tends to be higher with alarm.<br /> I do agree with you that overtrain could cause the HR surge. Avoid back to back hard days, else after a prolonged period, there could be a burn-out and the first thing that happen could be difficult to pull myself up from the bed.<br /> One should know the normal RHR with certain deviation to utilize it better. <br />ChoonShihhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123054424091492403noreply@blogger.com
