Against Crystal Palace race last week and the intervening time off the bike (only 2 hour long sessions since then) my recovey has been slow with my max HR on the Saturday test getting up to 179bpm and then tonights session and test up to 181bpm. Still a long way short of 188/9bpm, which was last achived over christmas and looking back at my log the only other excursion into the 180 zone was to 184bpm at the end of the march when I set a new 60 second power output personal best. That has left me confused as I though that over trained showed through as a decrease in power ability rather than lower HR and increased power, unless the training had compensated to a certain degree and the over training (or under recovery) just showed through as a lower than possible reading ?
Will take it easy for the rest of the week and at the weekend go for a long steady paced ride or ride in to work on Friday at a much reduced pace.
