Overindulgence in biking is wearing me out
Resting pulse measured when you first wake up is useful to see if you are pushing it too much. I use WK05 software and follow my Training Stress Balance to see if I am overtraining; this allows me to ride 4 days a week on a smart trainer with various intervals/ workouts, hammer Sat. and Sun. on small group rides and I trail run on Mondays on my usual day off the bike (600 feet of climbing for 8 mi.but currently at no more than 10 min. miles); at 78 my cardiologist/ electrophysiologist is on board with my level of exercise. In my opinion that is why I am still kicking above ground.
