Does your heart rate seem to rise when it gets HOTTER?
"In reviewing recent metabolic fitness reports of athletes from Darvin McBrayer, B.Sc, A.P.S, U.S.P.T.A, owner of fitlab.us, his reports states, “As temperature and humidity climb, allow 1 bpm (beat per minute) for every 2-3 degrees above 72 degrees. For example, say your BASE PACE top is 138. At 85 degrees, it’s okay to increase your BASE PACE heart-rate to 143.”
Daren goes on to write, “You will still be metabolically in tune.”
So as the heat climbs and our heart rate increases, we now know it’s okay to adjust our heart rate accordingly!"
