[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess to be clear I am not like, getting in shape. I ran a 10k last august in 1:04 which sure is not like FAST but its also pretty respectable for 38 yo mom of three. I have been doing sustained cardio for 4 years. This is why I'm confused about how low my fitness could be. I jogged for 90 minutes without stopping yesterday. And I am sometimes approaching 5 hours of running. But it doesn't feel like I'm killing myself.

The high HR doesn't FEEL like a high HR. That's what I'm confused about, again I can maintain a full conversation. This also isn't unique or a one off I've been getting readings like this for months. [/quote]

You are way way over thinking this. If you are running below 9 minute miles for 5 hours and feeling fine, stop worrying about it. The physics of running faster than that for 40-70 miles a week does add up. That’s why people are running with power now as a proxy.

You’ll know if you are overtraining. Just keep running. And get a heart rate strap.  You are fine. [/quote]
