More tempo

Back on the bike, and back to tempo work. All told, a good session, with a big improvement in wattage. On the other hand, there was a big increase in heart rate, much more than would be expected for the harder effort. I'm hoping that this is from some mild overreaching, and can be rectified with a couple of good nights of sleep, and not the start of more serious overtraining. A second theory is that I'm just not fully recovered from Tuesday (same effect as last week). This is the first time I've seen higher HRs for almost the same level of work. Running,and my other bike workouts, have all shown a decrease in heart at a given pace, so I'll be keeping an eye on this over the next week. Now is not the time for a long break to get out of a training hole. My volume and intensity are not so high that I should be breaking down. I've done more in the past and been fine. Fingers crossed I'll be fine this time. More sleep and food may be required, and given the pile of leftover Halloween candy in the house, I'm OK with that.
