About this episode
This Roadman Cycling guide by Anthony Walsh tackles a common issue for endurance riders: a higher heart rate at the same power. Drawing on thousands of athlete files, Walsh explains five fixable causes—dehydration and low sodium, heat and poor cooling, under-developed aerobic base, stimulants or medications, and stress or fatigue—plus a bonus myth about faulty sensors. For each, he gives quick fixes riders can apply immediately and longer-term protocols to build resilience. The takeaway: a rising heart rate isn’t a verdict on your fitness but a signal about conditions, habits, and recovery that you can address.
