I am now 71 and up until Dec. 2017 I was almost exceptionally fit with a resting heart rate of the high 40's to mid 50's and a full on rate of 180/190.
Unfortunately I have experienced some distinct heart and lung problems since then and it is only recently that I have actually been able to get my leg up and over the cross bar on one of my turbo mounted bikes where I have been carrying out some very carefully monitored and brief training sessions.
I have now been able to get up to 25 mins. duration, but only on a very low torque settings as I gradually build up the wasted muscle mass in my legs whilst at the same time keeping a very close watch on my heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen levels.
The thing that is causing me more than a little concern (which is a factor I have taken up with my cardiology and respiratory consultants) is the speed of my load heart rate, or rather the distinct lack of heart rate even when I am working as hard as I dare.................. So far the highest speed my dear old ticker has got to is an utterly pathetic 82 bpm!
I was wondering if anyone one else on cyclechat had experienced similar problems?
