Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

If it falls through you can visit me in November and run the Jessheim winter marathon near the airport. There won't necessarily be snow on the ground ;)

Damn.. "The study found patients who were positive for the infection took longer to return to their pre-infection resting heart rate, sleep duration, and step counts, compared to those who tested negative for the virus, though resting heart rate took the longest to recover. On average, it took patients 79 days after symptom onset for their resting heart rate to return to normal, versus 32 and 24 days for step count and sleep quality, respectively." contagionlive.com


I tested positive last Tuesday after nearly a week of coldy symptoms, I still donโ€™t feel right.

My resting HR has barely changed, it swings between 38 and 42 according to Garmin and the highest I saw was 43 one morning last week.

The HRV however, dropped quickly from 0vernight around 95_105 to around 70. Status Unbalanced.

Today I feel better than I have for a fortnight and HRV has just crept back into โ€˜balancedโ€™.

Not sure that resting HR is always a useful metric.

I had higher RHR and higher "easy pace" HR for a good while over the summer. For me it was hard to distinguish between post covid (had covid in early July), heat, absence of consistent training.

All would have been factors. RHR was only a couple of beats up to be fair though, it was the HR for easy efforts that was through the roof. Settling down now after a few weeks of more consistent training. I'm personally less convinced *for myself* that covid has raised things, the other factors feel to me more like the essential components. I think everyone reacts differently to covid, the usual bell curve distribution etc etc.

My Hr for effort was raised a lot by the temps over the summer, will be interesting to see what I get when I try jogging again -

On a side note, is it just me or is the GC website unable to show the handy 7 day / 4 week etc averages of HR that you can see on the app? Looks like it's only day by day, but perhaps I'm missing a widget somewhere.

Rosehip, Ok, probably effects you differently for sure. So as a single metric RHR surly isn't the way to go.
But for me its something for sure. Nothing really changed, not lower training, not really higher either, i had a good consistent training effort before this. But an infection started this higher HR for me.

Larkim, I also have higher HR at a similar effort, but i don't see a decline in training before that. There is for sure differences and many factors.
I will take it easy for a while anyhow.

I was pretty cautious around covid to avoid triggering any longer lasting impacts. I was pretty light on symptoms, but I didn't run for 2 weeks (though when I did start back I went with a bit of a bang with a 23min parkrun on the Saturday and then an 800m track race in the building heat on the Sunday). It actually coincided with me starting to think about putting a proper plan in place again after taking my foot off the pedal a bit too much following a spring marathon, so was hoping to get back in decent shape for late September, so I quickly scrapped that plan.

The thing is, when i started to run longer again, than an easy mile or so jog for about 3-4 days, it felt ok, no worse than a normal day, just higher HR.

So i really dont think it will set me back even longer (or so i hope), i mean the body would probably make it harder and tell me i'm a lot more tired if it needed that, that's what i think anyway. I will still take it easy though.

Good advice from Steve

Hopefully all will be well for your marathon bowman

About This Thread

Everything you need to know about training with a heart rate monitor. Remember the motto "I can maintain a fast pace over the race distance because I am an Endurance God". Mind the trap door....

Gobi lurks here, but for his advice you must first speak his name. Ask and you shall receive.

A quote:

"The area between the top of the aerobic threshold and anaerobic threshold is somewhat of a no mans land of fitness. It is a mix of aerobic and anaerobic states. For the amount of effort the athlete puts forth, not a whole lot of fitness is produced. It does not train the aerobic or anaerobic energy system to a high degree. This area does have its place in training; it is just not in base season. Unfortunately this area is where I find a lot of athletes spending the majority of their seasons, which retards aerobic development. The athletes heart rate shoots up to this zone with little power or speed being produced when it gets there." Matt Russ, US International Coach
