Common Questions and Answers about Heart rate training running

Avatar n tn s an excellent introduction to heart rate training. It concentrates more on running but the concept is perfectly applicable to any other discipline of sports. Enjoy your training!
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn You may want to try doing interval training to burn more fat, alternating sprints at about 85% of your max heart rate with intervals of a more moderate pace. The latest fitness research supports interval training as the most efficient way to get aerobically fit and lose weight as well. Good luck!
Avatar n tn yes ive heard that too that having your heart rate go up and down like that while working out is good for burning more calories, and strengthening your heart.
Avatar n tn The AHA recommends a maximum target heart rate of 170 for your age. The 100% heart rate should be around 200. I would assume that your setting of "4" would be 4 mph. If that is the case, that would be a slow jogging pace. Some people can walk at 4mph, so it's not very fast and consequently one would think it would be perhaps in the middle of your target zone.
Avatar m tn I have asked my cardiologist this same question and was told that pushing your heart above it's maximum predicted heart rate for long periods can damage the heart. Also, there is not benefit to your health by exercising at this rate, the most good is done between 75 85% of your max predicted heart rate. I asked for the same reason, keeping my heart rate at that level got to the point that it did not seem like much of a workout.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn Over many, many years, with high blood pressure and being very overweight, the inside of your ventrical gets thicker, and the volume inside therefore decreases, decreasing stroke volume and causing your heart rate to become higher and your heart then has to work harder to pump the same amount of blood, which over many years causes the ventricular walls to stiffen. I hope that clarifies some of it.
1844885 tn?1330536610 The Karvonen Formula is a mathematical formula that helps you determine your target heart rate zone. The formula involves using your maximum heart rate (MHR) minus your age to come up with a target heart rate range (which is a percentage of your MHR). Staying within this range will help you work most effectively during your cardio workouts.
Avatar n tn My heart rate dropped 25 BPM in that first minute and leveled off at an appropriate rate for 5 mets. When I went into cool down, my heart rate dropped another 15 BPM in the first min so it depends on what you're doing as well. Also, you do not want to stop without a cool down as your capillaries remain open and you will have large amounts of blood in your large muscle groups which can lead to a drop in BP and some will get faint so make sure to walk it off afterwards.
Avatar n tn 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.

Avatar f tn I was training for a half marathon when I found out I was pregnant about a month ago. I gave up all training because the first few weeks I had major fatigue and cramps. Now I am feeling better and the race is Saturday. I was debating on jog/walking it. I've been reading mixed opinions on running that distance during the first trimester. Any suggestions?
Avatar m tn m off the Atenolol now, BP is great, training for a marathon. HR now at 170-190 running at 9.25 pace..which is slow! Pathophysiologicaly, is there hope?
Avatar n tn s book on Heart Zone Training. She says fitness improves from 70-80% of target heart rate (calculated by greendave). However, should slowly improve to this. Working out too hard can cause increase in resting heart rate. I am on 25 mg Atenolol because resting heart rate was too high. I wish I had known about this stuff two years ago, as I would have taken training more seriously. I am able to get my heartrate into proper zone during exercise and this has improved my blood pressure.
Avatar m tn I think the answer is a bit backwards. Your blood pressure is not high because the heart rate is low. The heart rate is low because the blood pressure is high. You have "sensors" in the aorta and the carotid arteries which monitor your blood pressure. They are attached to the heart through the autonomic nerve system and slows the heart rate when the blood pressure is high.
Avatar n tn Gastric reflux or types of indigestion can cause chest pain in the center of chest, if it was angina it would be in the left chest radiating to the shoulder or arm. Try waiting longer in between eating and running?
Avatar m tn What you're going through seems exactly like what I went through when my AF introduced itself to me. They can only tell when you're in AF and via ECG. You will know by the fact your heart seems like it's rolling around in your chest and your heart rate is around 200. If you press it, you could push your ventricles into V Fib, which could be lethal. I did it once while running and fell down in the weight room.
Avatar n tn I am a 64 yo runner (including marathons) who started noticing racing heart rates on occasion, even while sleeping. (I was using a heart rate monitor.) 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?
Avatar m tn Does you heart still come down the same after workouts? Is your resting heart rate the same? If so than I wouldn't worry too much about this. Sure you can see your cardiologist again, but I'm confident he'll say the same thing.
Avatar f tn m assuming this is when you are exercising and not that it just jumps that high while resting) is also normal but you should aim for your target heart rate (60-80% of your max heart rate + your resting heart rate) and try to stay around that limit. Your blood pressure is good. Even on the low side at times. As long as your heart rate doesn't jump up above 100bpm for no reason while you are resting (ie.
Avatar f tn If you are training to become an athlete and train your heart you would be running at 75-85% of your max heart rate. When jogging, you are in the FAT BURNING zone of 60-75% of your max heart rate. It just depends upon the persons goal.
