i have noticed that my Max heart rate has dropped some 10Bpm (198Bpm 25Jan to 188bpm 5march; my illness occured between 11feb - 3march) after a bought of illness.
i was wondering if anyone would have any idea to how much difference that 10Bpm would make to my training as in how much blood and oxygen difference would this 10bpm make.
Also riding at my max heart rate for longer periods of time will this help bring it back to its normal state, i feel this bought of illness has caused some serious setbacks and wondered how long it would take to get things back to normal.
