Anyone experience a longer HRR time after 1 min due to morning workout?

[platinummack]

Anyone else experience this? A longer by a few min HRR after early morning workout after 2nd set, but then Awesome after set 3, 4?
WHen I workout like HIIT, calisthenics, 4-5 sets, 4 excercises, body weight, with high intensity, with min rest, my heart rate after 1 min drops by 24-30 BPM which I read is awesome

Sometimees in the early morning, when I start my HIIT workout, after the 2nd set, my HRR is a bit longer by a few minutes, then when I let it go down and do sets 3, 4 it's perfect and it recovers to 24 BPM lower after 1 min I was told it's because dehydration in the morning, mind/body still not conditioned, etc. I think this is true as when I mimicked the same workout like with 2 set 1 hour later, HRR is awesome at 24+ bpm below, after 1 min of rest and can reach proper RHR within a few minutes.

ANyone else experience a slightly longer HRR time after early morning HIIT? Also isn't the longer you hold your body or heart in higher rate, doesn't it take longer to come down. Aren't those stress tests only require you to workout for 1 min which will make it easier for your HR to come down in 1 min, no?

Firstly I was confused by the TLA. Generally HRR has been used on this forum for Heart Rate Reserve, I assume you mean recovery?

As you say at the end, this is rule of thumb at best unless you standardise the workout before. At the beginning of your workout HR tends to go a little lower with a lag too work. So the HR at end of the interval will be lower. Ignoring the thresholds broadly recovery slows as HR slows. So if you only hit 80%, 24 BpM recovery will take longer than if you go up to 90%. Also 24BpM for someone hitting 158 is going to generally take longer than someone who gets to >200 so an absolute no of BpM will not be comparable.

Finally especially after a short work out I often don't hit Max HR until 10-15S after stopping rowing (The lag I referred to).

It seems like my body takes a bit longer to recover right after waking up, especially if I dive straight into a HIIT session.

Dehydration in the morning makes sense, it’s like my body needs a little extra time to catch up. I’ve found that doing a light warm-up before jumping into the intense stuff helps a bit.

Also, I agree with what Ian mentioned about the lag in heart rate. It feels like my heart takes a moment to realize the workout is over! I think everyone’s recovery is a bit different based on their fitness level and the intensity of the workout.

I'm not sure about recovery rates for morning and afternoon/ evening sessions, but I do know that my starting HR is circa 5-6bpm higher in the early morning, which I have always primarily put down to raised cortisol in the morning.
