Well now I thought that (a) natural low rest rate (meaning large, powerful heart) and (b) ability to send your rate very high were pretty much exactly what indicated the presence of natural ability, for an endurance athlete anyway. |
Stroke volume is also taken into account when looking at Cardiac output (heartrate x volume). I've seen fat bastards in the lab get up to well over 220 HR, but their stroke volume will be tiny.
That's why (amongst other super-human qualities) Indurain was so good. Very low resting HR, very high Max HR and a stroke volume a Bull would be proud of. |

i think we all know the reason Indurain was good.

It's the same reason Riis, Jan and Armstrong were good  |

Come now peerman, all of his contemporaries indulged, and he could still put a quarter of an hour into them in a TT. |

I would suggest that his heart would need to be pretty strong in order to pump blood with the consistency of cold porridge around his body. _________________ www.kentonrc.co.uk |

well... for those of you who are interested... which I guess is noone.
I lowered the volume of training last couple of weeks and kept the intensity relatively low.
Been out today for a few hours. Did some intervals & managed to get the HR into the mid 180s during the intervals.
So I guess the problem was fatigue.
Important for us slightly older riders to recover.  _________________ "Never wrestle with a chimney sweep." |
