[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My heart rate stays very high when I run, regardless of fitness level. Its not necessarily abnormal or a problem...if I run, even at a very slow pace, I usually start getting up around 170 for the second half of say, a 5k. Closer to 180 is not unusual for me either. I feel fine. Its not a problem and seems very normal for me. I've just had a full cardio workup including an echo and my heart is perfectly healthy so no concerns at all. If you feel fine, I wouldn't worry about your heart rate at all. Your body will tell you when its time to stop, not your heart rate monitor.

Same here. I'm 46 and have run marathons. My heart rate is always in the "red zone" for my age.  My heart rate drops back down to the normal range within 30-60 seconds of stopping the activity, which my Dr said is a better indication of whether my heart rate is getting too high. It freaks me out to see my heart rate at 190, but unless I feel lightheaded or sick, I don't think it's a problem for me personally. That said, [b]I'm trying to keep my HR around 170-180, but I can't get it below 170 when I'm running most distances.[/b] [/quote]

Your HR monitor is wildly inaccurate or you should be in the hospital.  At 46 for any normal runner, there’s no way they are hitting 170 HR on runs unless they are racing.  Yes, I know people have different max HRs but I doubt yours is particularly high.  The posts on this thread are just laughable.  [/quote]

Not the PP,  but I'm a mid 40s runner who can easily hold 170+ for 2 or more hours. My heart rate monitor isnt inaccurate. You just don't know any moderately decent athletes. [/quote]

LOL.  If you were a decent athlete, your HR wouldn’t be that high on normal runs.  And I think the odds of you being able to hold 170+ for over 2 hours are about as likely as you winning the $1.5 billion power ball.  [/quote]
