zoeimogenIt's just over a month until I do my 10km run and training is going, I think rather well - 7.16km (Just under 4½ miles) today, in 44 minutes. I should be able to run the actual thing in about an hour, which is seems is reasonable going for someone who has started training fairly recently.
However, what I don't get is my heart rate, which you can see from the above link if you click on the tab on the graph at the bottom. My maximum, depending on the formula used, should be about 185-190bpm and yet I'm managing an average of 170 - 90%. That's actually lower than usual, my previous run I was averaging 175bpm.
I should be almost dead after 35-40 minutes of that sort of activity, and yet I'm not. Googling for "Heart Rate Too High" suggests perhaps I'm just a bit weird, and more research online even suggests that many people have the same problem. I guess I should do a proper maximum heart rate test at some point - run flat out and see what happens...
