Heart rate for running
Common Questions and Answers about Heart rate for running
heart
There is a huge misconception about the heart rate. Your maximum is just the highest rate your heart is WILLING to go. You will in fact reach oxygen debt faster than your actual max heart rate. The figures varies widely among individuals and also depends on the type of exercise. I have seen values of up to 240 on cyclists.
How are you measuring your heart rate? Are you doing it with a heart rate monitor? If so, I think your heart rate monitor is malfunctioning. If you are measuring it yourself, you would have to be feeling 5 heartbeats per second, which is impossible to feel. I truly don't think your heartrate is going up to 300 bpm. If it was going that fast, you would probably be unconscious.
It's not unusual for your heart rate to go up when you're not feeling well. Any stress put on the body can cause your heart to beat faster. I'm sure when you feel better you'll notice the rate will be down. Do you know what your normal heart rate is when you are well?
) My max heart rate is 163 and resting heart rate is 38. Last week I went for a run and my heart rate went up to 260. Apparently it was already 130 before I started running So I went to the dr. yesterday and was prescribed Atenolol (25mg). Is that suitable for someone who already has such a low resting heart rate? I only took my first dose last night and haven't noticed anything negative yet.
5 miles 3 times a week. Have run for 35 years. I was out running today and my heart rate was my normal exercising rate of 146-156 bpm. On two occasions I had a light-headed dizzy feeling for 3-4 seconds. I looked down at my heart rate monitor and one of those times my heart rate was 220 and the other time it was 226. It only lasted 3-5 seconds but I was concerned. I had a series of episodes 5-6 years ago, went to a cardiologist.
We need a number: the heart rate at rest is a good starting point. At rest means both physically and emotionally. Calm and quiet.
I would think anything between 60 and 90 beats per minute would be fine, up to 100 is not critically fast, not an emergency in and of itself.
As for shortness of breath, there are a lot of factors: physical health, weight, what level of walking and running and what is the HR.
If you count the pulse for 15 seconds, you can just multiply by 4 to get the bpm.
So, what your problem is?
What your resting heart rate is?
What your condition is? Do you have any cardiac issue, are you taking any medication?
Did you feel bad during the test?
I ve seen such strange recordings occasionally but never felt anything. When I do get tachycardia during anything (running for the bus or even stress) I feel it ! I am mid forties fem with autoimmune thyroiditis perfect to low bp, no cholesterol anything recent blood work perfect. Could it be Svt or Nsvt and I didn't feel it?
I take a medication to lower my heart rate. However, it would be preferred to lower heart rate through exercise, as side effects of mediation I do not care for. Also, continual stress may raise heart rate (Type A personality). May learn some relaxation techniques. Even though I do take medication for heart rate, I am able to exercise in the heart zones, and have seen improvement in my blood pressure. Some improvement in HR. Acutally, lately, sometimes my BP is low now.
Today I was two thirds of the way through my run and my heart rate, which had been around 127, dropped to 60. I stopped running immediately. My heart rate dropped to 50, then 48. After a few minutes of walking it went back to 98 and then went down gradually into the normal range as I walked , then 50. The heart rate drop has happened before during runs but never that far - usually it drops to 95 or so. My resting pulse is usually 48-52.
I have begun wearing a heart monitor when I run. My average heart rate is 142. My resting heart rate is about 65. When I run fast (for me this is a 7:30 minute mile), my heart rate goes up to 152, which I think is fine. I am concerned though about my heart at other times. Why does my body react abnormally when engaged in high incline running, jumping or bending exercises?
The highest it has gotten is 216 but usually its around 208 while running and only a few minutes into running. My resting heart rate is 48-56 and throughout the day its 70-85. Am I causing damage to my heart or cardiovascular system by running with this high of a heart rate. I don't feel that much pain when it gets that high the normal pain of running I would say. Is this cause to go to the doctor?
I could write pages about this, but I'll just answer the question simple. The answer is YES! it's possible and very likely.
You can forget the "normal values" of 60-100 beats pr minute. They are just the definition on what is sinus rhythm, or if below; sinus bradycardia, and above, sinus tachycardia. When you exercise, it's "normal" to have a heart rate above 100, and if you rest or sleep, it's normal to have a heart rate below 60.
m curious is that people that have demand pacemakers will have their heart rate maintained at a certain point if their heart rate drops too low. Taking too much of a Beta Blocker can drop your heart rate, with a demand pacemaker, it would be assured to be maintained at a certain rate. Also, your doctor may have choosen your dosage based on your conditions, not simply rate control, I would discuss this with your doctor.
Recently I notice that although I continue to have the same stamina, I am running slower that normal in order to stay in my target heart rate zone. Normally, I had no problem running 10 minute miles and my heart rate would be in the upper 140s for a portion of the time and at an incline of 2 or 3. The past two weeks I start off at 5.5 at 1.5 incline and my heart rate is at where it used to be when I was running a lot faster and up hill. I even stay in the zone when I reduce it to 5.
an example of the Karvonen formula for a 23 year old person with a resting heart rate of 65 beats per minute (*to get your resting heart rate, take your pulse for one full minute when you first wake up in the morning or after you've resting for a while). This formula also includes an updated calculation of maximum heart rate (the previous formula was 220 - age, which has now been shown to be inaccurate):
206.9 - (0.
All of the sudden, my heart rate goes from 160 after 0-5 minutes of running to 166 after 5-10 minutes of running and hits 177 after 10 minutes of running. I keep up this pace for about 5 minutes and have to stop (nearing 180 bpm) whereas less than 2 months ago I could run 4 miles no problem. I get lightheaded upon standing too fast and have to take cogentin to counteract the muscle stiffness in my legs from the 2 mg. of Trilafon I take per day.
