PSVT, or Paroxysmal Supra-ventricular Tachycardia

Week 3 Day 1
180.5 lbs

I ran my 60 minute Z2 run outside today--absolutely gorgeous Alaska weather (although it was cold--about 20 degrees) and the sidewalks had been "groomed" so running in snow wouldn't be a problem.  I pieced together a nice loop from my house and had an excellent run--I used my Garmin to monitor heart-rate zones instead of pace.  Overall my speed was 9:14min/mile and HR zone was 2.6 (156bpm)

Garmin Connect


After the run, Annie was ready to go for her four-miler and I decided to join her on the bike, about 10 minutes into the casual ride, I experienced another PAT event.




I tried to bear down, with no luck and just decided to ride through it--I wasn't going fast anyway.  Eventually the cold got to me more then my heart, and I had to look at my monitor to confirm that my HR was still elevated.  This was weird.  As you can see from the chart, when it stops, it stops; from 170 to 95 between beats.
