Rising resting heart rate due to HIIT

Hello everyone,,

I started doing high intensity interval trainings (HIIT) at the end of the January and I've noticed that my resting heart rate has slowly gone up (each day a little) from a regular 69-70 to a 79 (today). I'm 21, and usually do my HIIT workouts 2 days in a row and then rest 1 day. Workouts are approximately 40-60 min.

 

Is this something normal or should I be worried and take a bit longer breaks (although I feel totally fine)?

Don't do high intensity 2 days in a row.  Rising RHR can be a sign of over-working with not enough rest.  Irregardless of RHR, your body needs an easier day between high intensity.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
