any ideas. I couldnt keep it down and it was higher then normal even under lower efforts. I called it a day. I still feel tired and somewhat winded. Does this happen from over training? I had a heavy week in the gym. For reference it would staya round 180 to 190

You said it, it sounds like your body is still still trying to recover from the week you gave it. A higher HR is a sure size of this. For myself in this case I could be 10-12 beats higher then normal doing the same ride/same pace.
Sounds like you need an extra day or two off.

HR's higher than normal mean either you are rested and fresh (thus can push big power) or you are getting sick. Overtraining comes along with depressed HR's not high HR's.

I do agree that being fatigued will make it harder to increase your HR. That's happened to me.

Try to rest a few days. If it continues, call the doc to be on the safe side. There's certainly no harm in doing that.

Yup you need to take a few days off then ease back into it!

If you're recovering or perhaps just in the early stages of catching a cold your HR will also be through the roof.

Last week during training my HR was 18 beats higher than normal...sure enough I had the flu two days later.
