Beta - Blockers and Endurance Training

For athletes taking beta-blockers, these drugs can prevent the heart rate from increasing and as a result, can restrict performance. If you have an athlete who is taking one of these agents and they complain that they are unable to exert themselves normally, or if they complain of lightheadedness while training, they may wish to discuss switching to a different class of anti-hypertensives for the purpose of improving the exercise tolerance. https://www.trainingpeaks.com/coach-b... ​ #BetaBlockers​ #enduranceTraining​ #HeartFailure​  In March of 2020, I slipped on the illegally dumped cooking grease in front of John’s Burger and couldn’t walk for 6 weeks. This was my first injury since I started Endurance Training in 1979. Then in late April of 2020, I ended up in the hospital for the first time in my life. The diagnosis was Congestive Heart Failure. This Vlog / Podcast documents my Sixth Decade of Endurance Training. The past Decade was about HOW FAR I could go.  This Decade will be about HOW FAST can I go post Congestive Heart Failure. https://linktr.ee/AND3RSON
