What's your bike-run HR?

More bricks, but the heart rate jump is pretty normal. In years past, I didnt have a HRM, but could def. feel it. This year, I was shocked to see just how big a jump it was. Get your breathing under control and take the first few hundred kinda easy, then go at it.
Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.

Yup, agree with TriGuy.
Bricks will help.

Cool. I was going pretty easy at first though. Maybe I should walk briskly for a few minutes before actually running, just to get my body used to the motions.
Today might have been a bad example as I was pretty much on the verge of tears at one point because my legs were so sore/tired at the 85km mark.
I've got a 1/2IM next weekend that I'm probably brutally undertrained for. Actually, I'm looking forward to the challenge of it more than anything. This will be the first race I've done where I'm not entirely sure that I can finish it. Fortunately it seems that I'm a pretty good runner so hopefully everything will go ok on race day.

Its a type of cardiac drift and its pretty normal. Just go by RPE when running off the bike.

Atropos, make sure that you have hydrated properly before you start the run. That has a big part to play in the cardiac drift after the bike.

Yeah, I definitely wasn't hydrated really hydrated well coming off my training ride there. All I had for the 3 hours was two bike bottles of gatorade.
I was feeling ok energy-wise for most of the ride, and I wasn't really sweating so that wasn't an issue, but I know I need to have more liquids in me than that.
No stores where I was riding though. Next time I'll drink more and compare how it feels.
(Training is so much fun. I love experimenting like this. :D )

I've only done 2 brick workouts since getting my HRM, so I'm not sure if this is just the norm, but after my longer bike rides (did 90km today) I'm finding it really hard to get my HR down once I start running.
Both times I've done it, no matter how good I feel after the bike, as soon as I start running my HR jumps to about 165 and rarely gets below that. I feel like I'm running pretty slow, but basically if I'm moving, I'm at 165.
Do I simply have to do more bricks to get my body used to the running, or go a little easier on the bike, or both?
