At that stage if you plot an average value over time it will be a parallel line to the x-axis (or running horizontally). If it had continued to go upwards my guess is that you would not be alive today !! Lol ! What is quite interesting for me is that the core temperature reaches a max value shortly after the start and then comes back down again but never exceeds that value. It might be interesting to hear what Tim Noakes says about it. Try contacting him. regards Philip Candice the only comment I can make about those graphs is that they show your heart rate and core temperature rapidly rising from the time when you are at rest to the time when you have settled into a constant rhythm.
