[quote=Anonymous]I'm doing a weekly 3-mile run on a treadmill at my office and note that my heart rate can get high. I am running what most would consider an extremely slow pace--around 13:00-13:30 average! Might push it to 12:45 but that's the max. I pull back and walk for a minute or two once its hits 180-190. (I think I start out around 115-120.) When it hits 180, I walk and let it drop down to the 160s and then I start running again. Let me say that I have done similar training for a 10K annually, and this seems to be a pattern for me on the treadmill. (I'm also running longer outdoors on the weekends but not monitoring my heartrate so not sure what is happening outside the gym environment.) Also, the caveat that the treadmill may not be totally accurate but certainly seems to show a pattern. I'm in reasonably OK physical condition. Walk at least two-three miles per day and do Peloton routines. Definitely overweight (5'5 and 165), so that may have something to do with it. I am just not sure what I should do to improve this.
