Today I decided to wear my heart monitor & check how my PVC's were doing during my workout. Well, guess what? NO PVC's!!
Starting heart rate was 67. I walked & ran the old rail-trail off of Spooky Nook Road (one of my favorite road names!) I did a 3 mile workout, mixing in some jogging with my walking. My average heart rate was around 95-98. When I did some jogging & surges (my speed work - boy was I flying!), I got the heart rate to 115. My heart monitor showed no PVC's.
What's up? I think I attribute my results to a few things.
1 - Dumb Luck - I think PVC's are very crazy things! They are very unpredictable!
2 - I think I am getting in better shape - watching diet, exercising, & trying to get my rest when needed!
3 - Removing stressful life choices - I love doing things, but I'm trying to take away the more mentally stressful & frustrating activities!
4 - Ignoring the PVC focus. I try not to wear the heart monitor very often - maybe three - four times a month. I do not focus on researching the PVC's, except when I see new data & research from the medical world!
5 - I'm a year and a half out from my open heart surgery - TIME HEALS!
During my research with PVC's, I have discovered the many reasons for the PVC's. Maybe I am making progress!
