So I was doing some interval training yesterday with 30 lbs of gear on and instead of wearing my garmin, I used a phone tucked away where I couldn't watch the real time results. At one point I was sprinting uphill and I reached an exhaustion level I haven't felt in years. No pain, but feeling on the verge of being winded, come to find out I had reached a heart rate of 191 and sustained it for only about 10 seconds. But solidly over 180 for 30 seconds. I've done a few crits where I managed to ramp up to 179, but I don't recall ever going that high except in rare circumstances where equipment spiked and it was obvious. Going from 130 to 220 or 190 for 10 seconds. Is this a fluke? Is it an issue? Or does this just happen and it may be a benefit. I did some reading last night and for an 38 male, that is very unusual.
There was no pain and after the spring I took the pace and inclined down and walked for about minute before doing medium pace running.
Oh, I also took a benedryl before for allergies.
"In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." T Durden
