Immediately after yesterday’s rowing, I got irregular heartbeat. It has happened occasionally and usually goes away. When it doesn’t go away soon, it is a real bother. Yesterday it was a bother. And last night, during which I slept less than 3 hours. And this morning, when it was still persisting with that annoying lack of steady rhythm.
It probably wouldn’t have happened yesterday, if I’d done a better warm down.
So today, I made up for not doing a warm down yesterday. For today’s rowing session, I did 30 minutes and started out at a pace of about 2:40 for the first 1K, 2:35 for the next, 2:30 for the third and so on, with the 6th and final 1,000 meters being done at a pace of 2:15.
The irregular heartbeat persisted until the last half of the 30 minutes, when it started to settle down and finally went away completely during the last 5 minutes. The photo immediately above shows the irregular heart rate indication on the screen of the blood pressure tester I used just before today’s rowing. And the photo immediately below shows NO irregular heart rate indication on the screen of the blood pressure tester I used just after today’s rowing.
Below, are screenshots relating to today’s indoor rowing session:
Happy-hearted rowing to you.
