I keep waiting for the time when it will come down. What is happening to me is I am running longer or faster so it always ends up staying up there.

It is interesting how different activities affect it.
I have had to switch to doing some butterfly in the pool to get it way up - when I do freestyle my muscles and breathing give out before my HR
and in spin class I have to work harder to get it up whereas before on a standing climb it would skyrocket.

Running . . . . . now that is a different story . . . it is up in a heartbeat
