Tri girl is right! Talking will increase your heart rate. When I had fitness testing done with my personal trainer I couldn't talk while doing it, I had to point to a scale because he didn't want my heart rate to be thrown out of wack!
As for concrete evidence of why that is... Can't back it up with anything, Except maybe you'e using more oxygen so youre heart beats faster to accomodate. (breathing rates do increase when you talk)

Great explanation ladies, thanks!!!
I think the talking thing is it, plus a minor factor being the time of day. Nights are definitely easier for me...
I guess it's good nonetheless to train in the morning, because races tend to be in the morning, not at 5pm!!
