As you get fitter, your heart rate will work a lower rate at what you perceive to be a similar level...Originally Posted by hellosunshine
That is (just pulling numbers from the air here as an example)...
... if you took 30 minutes to ride ten kms a year ago and your heart rate was 135bpm, then, after continued riding over the year you rode the same ten kms in the same weather conditions, you might find you can maintain 135bpm but finish those 10 kms in 20 or 25 minutes.
So your fitness level rises and your heart is more efficient.
Congrats, SunShine - this is what has happened for your heart.
Mebbe you should throw your coach away

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
