Is it possible to have an HR that increases over last year for a similar workout/wattage? RPE seems similar, and so does respiratory rate. Not sure what’s going on. Sleep is good, work is easier than it has been.
I’m 33 and have been on TR for maybe 5 years. Just have had increased HR’s kind of across the board this year. Finished last year at FTP 358w and am sitting more stagnant at 328w so far this year. Not increasing FTP at the same rate as years past.

Just checked back, and I’m not seeing a lot of “red light” days, but I’m seeing some yellow days here and there, none with any big workouts on them.
Have you changed your cooling at all. As you know indoor training can mess with your HR based on cooling/lack of?
Same cooling, actually. Same 2 fans, lasko floor dryer and Lasko WindMachine, in a similar setting.
Thx for chiming in.
No worries, Hope you find a solution.
Definitely global warming
Any changes to caffeine intake or medications?
