My normal testing HR is around 36-38. Did a tough 4 hour ride today and it's now 44bpm when comatose on the sofa...

I presume a sign of fatigue? Have noticed higher HR on the evening after hard rides before. Sorta feels like my heart is pumping harder in my chest too .

I know all the stuff that HR will be higher when generally fatigued but not heard of the sensation of the beat being 'harder' so to speak

I had this after racing a road crit last night. Hard hour on the bike 70-80% at heart rate zone 4.

Took longer than normal to fall asleep because my HR was elevated and I could feel my heart beating harder. Fell asleep eventually, feel fine this morning.

Yep same. I struggle to sleep when my heart is pounding like that and did last night.

Normal service seems to be resumed this morning
