How I Know My Training Is Working (Even When I’m knackered) + Resting HR & Drift Test | 5 Wks to Arc

5 weeks until the Arc of Attrition – the UK’s toughest winter ultra on the Cornish coastal path. In this raw training vlog, I share how I track adaptation during a heavy block: Resting heart rate spikes after hard sessions (proof of stress) 2–3 day drop back to baseline (proof of recovery and rebuilding stronger) Live test with the Garmin Cardio Drift data field (Connect IQ app) on a muddy 6-hour long run – low drift showed I’m getting more efficient Science shows endurance training lowers resting HR over time as the heart adapts (e.g., studies on ultra runners and bradycardia: https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomm.... It’s a key marker that your body is getting fitter, not just more tired. For me at 50+, this pattern keeps me motivated when the legs feel trashed. Tired today, tougher in January.
