the lowest on-bike HR
hello everyone!
i wonder about one thing: what was the lowest HR you've seen on bike: my personal best is 46 on a descend after a short climb it was during recovery ride (alarm set on 130bpm, avg HR about 118 bpm). My resting HR was about 42 then, and my max is 204 cheers yash |

Re: Re: the lowest on-bike HR
hi!
why nobody (except Zaskar) does reply? You don't belive me, do you? :-) I have no comparison with other riders on this ground but I'd bet that it is not very uncommon in well-trained riders (racers). Or is it? of course I had measured it while coasting, and i think that body position (aero tuck with horizontal upper body) may also be a factor (HR in lying position always'll be lower than when sitting or standing). On the second hand, what's the purpose of doing such measurments, you may ask? For me, it's simple. Similar to checking your morning HR - it tells you if you are well-rested (during recovery rides), or if everything is OK (for example did you eat and drink enough) on hard ones. What do you think about it? cheers yash |

At a stoplight I might drop as low as 80, unless it's a recovery ride. In that case, maybe high 60s.

Re: the lowest on-bike HR
everyone is going to be different and there are many contributing factors so there isnt much to be gained from comparing your lowest heart rate on the bike.
It all comes down to who crosses the line first.

What do you think about it? I was wondering what the point of your question was. Assessing whether you are rested or not would be better done indoors whilst sitting down, not while on the bike. |

Re: Re: Re: Re: the lowest on-bike HR
Of course that it all comes to who is the winner. Having a low resting or on-bike doesn't mean anything itself. But there're some factors which can help you with your training, make it easier or more effective. Or just give you some interesting info. I consider on-bike-hr one of them, like morning hr for example. I didn't say I used INSTEAD of measuring morning hr. They show a bit other things and checking them both may give you a better look-for example morning hr does somtimes change when you didn't sleep well. On-bike hr may show if you had eaten right things before and during a ride or if two bottles were enough for a mid-summer century. Af course after a hard ride it won't go to the fourties, but if you checki it reguraly, you'll know what it should be and notice if it gets 10-20 beats higher. I've been using it this year and sometimes it helped. So i did wonder what other guys think about it.
Cheers yash |
