All day heart rate on August 18, 2018
All day heart rate on August 19, 2018
What does heart rate trend looks like during hiking days?
The last a couple days, I reported overall walking time and heart rate for this hiking.
Today, I looked into a trend of heart late all day during hiking other than walking time.
Here is what I did for this hiking, I left home early in the morning on August 18, 2018 and came home late on August 19, including 6~7 hours driving one-way.
The first day (August 18th), I woke up around 3 am and left home at 3:40 am. Heart rate during sleeping is around 55~65 (bpm). During driving, it is somewhere 80 (bpm). When I took a rest, I was moving around. The heart rate a little jump to around 100 (bpm).
Time to arrive the visitor center in Lone Pine to pick up the permit around 9:30 am and left there before 10 am. The elevation of trail head, Whitney Portal is somewhere around 8000 feet. However on the way to trail head, the heart rate started up to more than 90 (bpm). When I was preparing hiking near trail head, the heart rate reached 100 ~ 110 (bpm).
During hiking, that was what I reported last few posts. As soon as I started walking, the heart rate hit more than 150 (bpm) as I mentioned in the previous posts. When I took a rest with sitting, the heart rate got lower, but it was up to 120 (bpm). It seems that the heart rate stay a little higher even I completely stopped and rest.
After setting up tents, the heart rate was stable somewhere around 110 (bpm). However, it hit 150 (bpm) when I took water near the camp sit with a little walking. After that I took the watch off for charging. When I prepare meal in the tent, the heart rate was getting a little higher whenever I moved. Overall, it was slowly getting lower, it was around 100~110 (bpm). During sleeping, it was continue to be lower and right before waking up was somewhere around 70 (bpm).
However, whenever I started moving in the tent, the heart rate was getting higher again. It was around 90 (bpm)
The second day, I carried minimum stuff for the summit attempt and I managed my heart rate less than 140 (bpm) as I mentioned in the previous posts. Overall, the heart rate during hiking was 135 ~ 145 to the summit and the rest was somewhere around 120 (bpm) and the peak was a little more than 130 (bpm) during descending.
On the way back to home, the heart rate stayed higher than usual, which was around 100 (bpm). When I came home, it was 84 (bpm). I did not show a data during sleeping after coming back, but the heart rate was higher than usual, the starting was 80 (bpm). However it was back to normal in the next morning which is somewhere around 50 (bpm).
My typical heart rate during sleeping is 45 ~ 55 (bpm) and heart rate during desk work is somewhere around 65 (bpm). So it is obviously higher heart rate when I stay higher elevation during the hiking even in the tent. Also, the data shows it took longer time to be back to normal even if the elevation is getting lower. It is different from a regular training (running). It is back to normal after a few hours.
Only one data, but....
This time I collected heart rate date all day during hiking. However this is only data I have now. It is hard to conclude anything. However, the heart rate when I stay in higher elevation is expected. It is just higher than usual. On the other hand, the recovery time to back to normal was taking much longer time than what I was thinking.
It is still a speculation, however, I guess it takes much longer time when people are in lower oxygen situation. With other data such as pace / total time, I think it is probably better to minimize the consumption of oxygen during hiking. It is probably less impact overall. Once people walk higher pace to consume a lot of oxygen, it might be hard to recover especially lower oxygen environment. So that it might help to walk slowly to minimize oxygen consumption.
