One of the best tools to assess how your body (especially the cardiovascular system) is handling the training load is by regularly checking the heart rate.
For starters, you can easily spot overtraining with just a regular heart checkup. For instance, if your heart rate is spikier—6 to 12 beats per minute—then its normal pace, then the chances of overtraining are imminent. In this case, you ought to cut back on your exercise length and intensity or taking a couple days of recovery. Resume the training when your heart rate is back to its normal pace.
One the other hand, any drop in your regular heart rate is a sign of progress. See, as the training progresses forward, your cardiovascular system gets stronger so your heart becomes more efficient at pumping blood to your body and working muscle, thus it’ll need less beats to do the same the task as before. Thus embrace any heart rate drop and welcome; it’s a cheer sign that you’re heading into the right direction.
