Negative HR decoupling. Thoughts?

Haha, yes, indeed! Particularly when we found that ultralight sleeping bags, wet clothes, an open shelter, and temps below 10C is not a good combination at all :grinning:

I am most of the time on my 3/4 jours à negative découpling.
But I am also someone who struggle to getting heart rate high.
Thus I believe it is because I got somewhat tired, especially if I reach some small peak, and then my heart rate did not need to go so high to maintain effort. Maybe the contraction start being stronger the , it doesn’t need to be as fast. I don’t know.
There another part of that, maybe more important. Over time may RPM may descresse if I am not look at it.
In 3/4 hours training, I use to start easily over 100 RPM and the last hour , be around 95. For the same power around 220/240, my heart rate is btw 118/125 when I am like 105/110 RPM I can become 130BPM. Maybe the decoupling is not looking at RPM vs BPM and we know that both are correlated
