Effects of accidental ketosis on training
I sometimes go into ketosis accidentally (please keep those dieting people away from me) during endurance training or shortly afterwards. Now for the first time since acquiring a 24h-hr-monitor.

I noticed an abnormal increase in rhr after the latest accidental ketosis (+13-15 on the next day instead of the usual +2-3 after the most intense workouts that I do. That's close to a 30% increase). Does ketosis really cause rhr spikes like that? I found various people telling the internet it was true, but nothing reliable. Someone on a forum for people who intentionally go into ketosis and who usually has a rhr of over 80 is not a reliable source.
I guess like usual I should wait with intense workouts until the rhr is somewhat normalized again? I will wait until the ketosis goes away in any case and will see if the rhr normalizes at the same time.
How bad is ketosis for training effect?

(I didn't select the ketogenic diet tag because I'm not on a ketogenic diet and would never enter ketosis on purpose. I actively try to eat lots of carbs before, during and after long exercise sessions. I'm just not doing a good enough job of it, it seems)
