Well, there are always a lot of people who are doing it wrong, that's for sure. In that vein, while I'm very new at this, it's looking to me like this PT thing s not something you pick up in January and race in March or April. Looks to me like it takes some time, like months, to get the desired training response.
I started this in September and did my first intervals 2 days ago. My standing resting HR this morning was 52. I've never seen that before. I could feel my atrial and ventricular beats. Emphasizing that's after intervals 2 days ago. Gotta have both ends of it. A heavy schedule of low end raised my resting HR, though I didn't get tired as long as I kept up with my carbs and sleep. I was surprised to see that it did take extra carbs to do that. I would have thought that increased fat burning would take care of the volume, but no, not at 75% it wouldn't, at least not in my bod..
