High heart rate with normal power
If heart rate is higher than normal for the same power, there may be heat, fatigue, dehydration, stress, or lack of rest.
Recommended steps
- Compare with similar sessions, not with one isolated day.
- Review sleep, heat, hydration, and caffeine.
- Lower intensity if sensations are bad.
- Do not force a hard session if the body does not respond.
- Observe the trend over several days.
- If there are unusual symptoms or discomfort, prioritize health.
