I can quite understand that Nellers, I'm bored silly after 3 1/2 weeks. Slow walking doesn't make up for not being allowed to do much else.

So what is the opinion of doing weight training in my situation? Good idea/bad idea/idea that will lead to early death? I went for a walk yesterday. That is not going to cut it. |

Definitely not. I’ll expand by Fmail if you like, but won’t clog the thread.

I’ll take your word for it Glenners, and thanks. Back in work today but i’m Climbing the walls not being able to do anything. It’s not like i’m injured or ill and feeling unable. It’s so frustrating!

What was the recommendation as to what you should and shouldn't do, nellers? If you can do brisk walking, that will reduce the rate at which you lose running fitness. I've had periods when I've not run and just done that for a while, and I've found it works well (and is also enjoyable). In my case I was keeping my heart rate below 110, where my HRmax is 175. Most of the time it was around 95 to 100.

What did the doc say as regarding training? If you're not happy, seek a second GP's opinion. I know a cancer story where a second opinion saved a friend's life. My GP said "carry on doing whatever you do" (knowing I run tons), and the cardiologist actually repeated the same advice. I appreciate my circumstances are different to yours, I didn't see a spike as I hadn't recorded on a HRM, and I doubt I would have seen a spike, but I did get palpitations on two separate occasions, which might qualify as an arrhythmia, although it might not as anemia had pushed my HR up 20bpm and I was simply hitting my max HR a mile into races on big hills. But I did have anomalous blood tests and ECG test, and even on the back of that they said keep on running!! (I ask as I note I got bitten by a dog some years back, broke the skin, blood, and the local empty hospital said no tetanus needed, as a post 20 years old tetanus shot had given me lifelong immunity, my sister got scratched by a neighbour's cat, also had a post tetanus 20 years old shot and they said "have your tetanus here", and I'm like well one of us was given the wrong advice.... ) |

Interesting article here in Cosmos magazine on ageing and exercising. Pertinent to this thread because of the following: "I’ve biked in to Melbourne’s inner suburbs to meet Andre La Gerche, head of sport cardiology at the Institute."... La Gerche - "“The benefits of exercise across the age spectrum, I think, are really well established,” he said. “Athletes live longer, they have fewer heart attacks, fewer strokes. “But there is one tiny little sting in the tail, which is it seems pretty clear high levels of exercise do increase the chance of some heart rhythm problems.” “We’ve been really surprised at how common arrhythmias are in the older rowing cohort,” he said. “There are a lot of studies suggesting that atrial fibrillation is about three-fold more common in athletes than in the non-athletic population, and so far our experience is that our cohort has exceeded that,” he said. cosmosmagazine.com |

I wore my Garmin's HR strap for parkrun today, it's not comfortable and I don't like wearing it, I generally rely on my fitbit to give my HR. Sometimes I wear both to compare the two and mostly- surprisingly- they give very similar figures unless I'm running intervals when the fitbit seems to go somewhat doolally. These are today's traces: I think the Garmin peak to 176 (close t max) at the end of the first mile is an anomaly as I didn't feel any different - is it possible it picked up someone else's monitor? I do recall passing a large-ish young bloke about there who seemed to be putting in a lot of effort. Or should I be trotting down to see my GP? |
