Just do some spinning in a really light gear for 40mins
Yeah, that's what causing issues. And not even 40 minutes, 10 minutes, and we're talking the lowest possible gear, with a cadence of 80rpm. That's pootling-to-the-shops-with-your-granny effort. Pootling to the shops with your granny shouldn't be making anyone's heart go like the fucking clappers unless their granny is Eileen Sheridan, and mine definitely isn't.
It's been like this for pretty much the whole of 2014, apart from one freak episode in October where everything went normal again, suddenly. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with fitness or conditioning, so trying to train through it is pointless - especially as there's no way to do any kind of active recovery when the slightest effort slings me into VO2 max. Counterproductive, even if I did know wtf was medically wrong.
I'm just fucked from an unknown something. It is a shame as I would quite like to ride a bike again like a normal person, but there's not a whole lot I can do about this. I suppose this is the end of my potentially glittering pro cycling career...

For christ sake don't do 2x20s if you're HR is all over the place.
Just do some spinning in a really light gear for 40mins and smell-the-flowers/armpits. If that was causing issues then I guess something is up.
