    Thanks Amo. It’s a strange one. My threshold HR is similar but 4 or 5 beats down. My max HR is down by 10 beats or so. I’m basically unable to achieve the same power output (rowing) I was able at the beginning of 2020. I’m guessing my cardiac output is reduced, but I’m no expert. I contracted COVID in November 2020 and wasn’t too badly affected,…Read More
