Hi all. I've been taking Hawthorn Extract for blood pressure. I recently took a break from it and noticed an effect on my exercise. I normally sprint 4x100m with a 3m rest in between. My hr has been around 185-193. When i took a break from Hawthorn my hr was 170. Same speed and effort. Is this a good thing, is achieving a higher hr more beneficial.

For same speed and effort then you would want to see an reduction in HR to show an increase in fitness, not an increase.
There are many factors that affect HR
Are you using a wrist sensor HRM?
Not getting up more than once in the night is a positive advantage.
