I have done a good few max heart rate tests, they are certainly not pleasant things and have abandoned more than I have completed.

In my 30s I once hit 198 bpm on a 25% local climb so my maximum then would probably have been just over 200! I don't know what it would be now, probably 180-odd. I suffered pulmonary embolisms in 2012/13, and ever since then making a maximal effort on my bike can disturb my heart rhythm for up to 24 hours, which I try to avoid! :eek:

I am 99% certain that's what we had, only because the long Covid symptoms are so similar. Covid was new when we had it in January so we were told "its the flu, stay at home, don't bother the Doctor".
My (younger, fitter) cycling mate got it a week before us and was very poorly.
As I said above, the people we met on holiday have been affected.
Maybe Devon is not actually on this planet and you really are living in a different reality :wacko:

Have a gander at the latest New Scientist, there's a piece on it in there.

Warning
Not having read it fully, I'm not certain how far in to the subject it goes. Some parts don't look too good.

Morning from a person that gets up excited about another day ahead, swim this morning with only 1 more after today before shutdown, who knows when or if the pool will open again as it has certainly not been taking enough to carry the overheads. Stay safe guys as I feel the next month is going to be tough for some.

It is scary. The absolute, total fatigue is terrible. As I have bored you with before.......9 months ago I was enjoying regular 20-35 milers......3 weeks ago I was too weak to get down the stairs.
It seems that many people àre far worse than us, poor sods

Good morning fellow retirees,
The rain and wind have died away 👍 I'm meeting Mrs Tenkay after her gym session and venturing into Poole. Mrs Tenkay has been researching her family history on and off for over a decade and it's turned up some fascinating stuff. She has a photo of her mum as a young girl which looks enchanting so we'll visit a photo printer / canvas place to see what options there are.
A spot of lunch and a pint is my reward 😊🍺
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Morning all........well, Mo and Sreenman** ^_^.
I crawled out of bed at 06.10 with the plan to do an Aldi dash but I am seriously thinking of going back to bed..... I feel totally drained :sad:.
I woke at 06.10 for a pee. It was so dark, I really thought it was about 0400 so was shocked to see the time.
Have a good day everyone.
Edit
**blimey, all of a sudden we have Kev, Dave and Drago here..... sorry.

Back from a hilly 10k. Thought the legs were going to pack in altogether this morning. There's no power or bounce in them at all and I can't even push off from my toes. I've maybe been avoiding hills a bit as I am finding them so tough now but probably needing to actually do more in the hope of it getting easier :laugh:
