I went for a 40 kilometers ride today and the ride involved a fair bit of rolling hills. An interesting observation was that at the top of the hills my heart rate was nearly 20 bpm LOWER that when I was walking around my apartment or just standing around talking to someone.

Anyone else experience similar drops in heart rate whilst exercising compared to their normal heart rate?

Cheers


What are you using to measure your heart rate? If it's a smart watch,
you need to pay attention to the angle of your wrist. I use a watch
like that generally but not specific to cycling. So I tend to leave it
on when riding.

To track my cycling heart rate I use a chest strap. I know that the
watch is not very accurate with my wrists bent in cycling position.


Chest band heart rate monitor with a watch receiver.

Cheers
