This morning I woke with atrial fibrillation for the first time in several days. And when I looked at my watch its algorithm said that I may have been “overreaching.”
That’s the main reason I got this watch, to find out if it could help me in determining how much workout is okay.
For the past few days I’ve been setting the distance to 5 miles, walking 1 out of those 5 miles and jogging the other 4.
Just in case the algorithm is correct, I’ll do less jogging today. Perhaps only a mile instead of four. (note: this is being edited after today’s jogging. See further below).
There was another possible contributing factor which may have figured in to the atrial fibrillation happening again, but it was something the watch and its software don’t measure.
Afternoon workout time was about an hour of walking with 1 mile of jogging in the middle. Heart rate started out in atrial fibrillation and finished in normal rhythm. Praise God!
Though not all workout sessions are always or even usually mentioned in the blog, the “live” (interactively viewable) data for each and every erg workout session for any day whatsoever can be seen in detail by clicking this: link to the online logbook. To view a session’s data and interactive graph click the “+” sign in “Action” column for that session.
Happy rowing, jogging, running etc to you!
