Soldato
My HR has always been high to be honest, compared to runs on zwift etc it’s still around that.
It’s very hard for me to ride z2 anywhere outdoors, where ever I turn, there’s a climb which quickly bumps it up.
My vo2max is quite low too, slowly getting out of “poor” but not great still and I believe that kills my efficiency hence the increased avg hr.
I’m sorta hoping over the next 5-6 months it’ll slowly drop as my cardiovascular fitness improves.
Zwift, outdoor rides etc have dropped already over the last few weeks so I’m heading in the right direction.
Think I was too focused on heavy lifting for many years and completely abandoned anything cardiovascular which has resulted in my body being quite inefficient..
It also makes me wonder if my really bad hospital stay last year did a lot more damage than I thought. I nearly died there due to infection and while I feel good now, I also wonder what the real impact was and how much it hit my fitness. I was out of everything for 6 months before I was able to pick up a dumbbell.
