When I was running at University (3 weeks ago), where it was nice and flat, I could easily run 9min/mile with less than 135bpm. Since then I have returned home, where it is stupidly hilly, and spent 3 weeks running with an average HR above 135pbm and averaging still 9min/mile. Since I am on a cut-back week this week, I thought I would seek out some relatively flatish routes. But now I cannot even get my HR below 140bpm whie running 10min/mile! I am not ill - or about to be (I have a very strong immune system) - and my breathing is so relaxed and my legs find running so easy at the moment. But still my HR is much higher than it should be. Any thoughts why? |

heat? dehydration? |

Neither. It seems to me that my heart is not readjusting to flatter training routes well somehow, as it seems to be the only part of my body that is working at the same intensity as if I were running hills. |

Overtraining? Lack of sleep? Crappy diet? |

Not overtrained and getting more sleep than usual. My diet is normally very good, but has not been great this week. Would that account for an immediate HR increase? I would have thought an elevated HR could only come from a long-term poor diet. |

It could be Schloppy Jungle Syndrome. My pet mongoose used to have it. He cured it by eating 2 enchiladas at precisely 3.49 tuesday afternoon while sitting on 3 goose eggs. let us know if it works for ya. |

I strongly suggest you see an Electrophysiologist. |

Hills increase your HR. Ditch the HR monitor for you stupid hilly runs at home. |

I have the similar thing happen on cutback weeks. Actually have the same thing happen on days after rest days. I don't know what exactly is going on, but I notice that when I tend to get into a training routine where I'm always just a little bit tired (i.e., not 100% recovered) my hr will be 3-5beats lower over virtually every run or workout. It doesn't hardly ever affect my pace and my pe is generally the same (especially in races), but the hr can be elevated a bit if I have a bit more rest than usual. Once I get back into harder training it starts staying 3-5 beats lower again. |

You in college? Maybe you drink or party too hard? Alcohol and coffee you piss out calcium and magnesium. Calcium causes you heart to contract, mg causes it to relax. Take a pulse on your neck. If you feel a weak pulse do a 2 to 1 ratio. Cal magnesium. If it is too fast you lack magnesium. Go to ithyroid.com under calcium and magnesium. The guy is a genius. |

I am in Univeristy, but do not drink alchohol often (a few times a year) and never drink coffee. |

My HR decreases on days I masturbate a lot. |

Yeah, I know 140 is relatively tame for it but it could very well be AFib. I got diagnosed last year and have been putting off the ablation procedure. I'm trying new regimens and it seems to be working. I unfortunately have had to quit drinking, especially white wine- it's a given trigger for me. Have had like two beers since January. My symptoms started with waking up early in the morning at 140. Kept happening more frequently and for longer. Worst one lasted 12 hours! |
