Elevated Resting Heart Rate: Sure sign of over training Several years ago, I learned to train with a heart rate monitor which has helped me a lot. One sure sign that you are over trained and need a little extra rest is an elevated resting heart rate. That was the situation I was in yesterday as a result of my track work on Tuesday and my 8 mile run yesterday. Last night, I made sure I got some extra sleep and I dialed the mileage down today. My workouts today were as follows: - 6.5 mile run along the beach at lunch followed by 20 minutes core and strength training in the gym. - 32 min stationary bike workout before dinner Tomorrow is a rest day... from running. I'm either going to walk or do a gym workout to burn some calories, but otherwise I need to be rested for Sat and Sun workouts.
