Elevated heart rate after a tough running day

My resting heart rate on my watch will be 15 bpm higher than normal resting heart after a tough training session. Is this normal? Seems to recover after a day or 2.

What's your run schedule look like? It could be an indicator of inadequate rest, but it could also be nothing. My resting HR is usually normal after my speed session days

Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday. I’m also just really getting back into it. Been back to actual training for 3 weeks now. Before that I was running occasionally but not near enough

Could just be fatigue from getting back into it. Make sure you take a down week every 4-5 weeks where you scale your mileage down a little to recover, then back to your regular schedule. If you have a Garmin I know it'll track your RHR over days and weeks. Keep an eye on that and see if it starts to regulate itself.

You are probably running harder than you should be

Sounds like EPOC
quote:
First off, what does EPOC stand for? The EPOC acronym stands for excess post-exercise oxygen consumption and has been linked to heightened metabolic rate and increased caloric burn. It refers to the amount of oxygen required to revert your body back to its resting metabolic state after a strenuous and intense workout. Your metabolism converts nutrients into a chemical compound called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and uses it as fuel during muscular activity. To experience the EPOC effect, you must exert energy using your ATP reserve rather than a steady flow of oxygen. The more oxygen your body needs to restore itself to its normal resting state, the more calories you burn. After an intense workout, your body uses oxygen to restore ATP and repair damaged muscles and cells, which will allow you to burn more calories over an extended period of time. But, your routine jog won’t push your body enough. You have to increase your heart rate through intense exercise to achieve a state of prolonged caloric burn.

You need to replenish your liver glycogen which will decrease norepinephrine release.

And your body battery and or heart rate variability is probably in the tank.
I stopped doing hot yoga and long runs because of these measurements. No more palpitations.
Walking and lifting seems to be a lot more healthy for my heart.
