hello hello!
i'm 39, and fitter than i have ever been in me life, i either do at least an hour a day on me turbo trainer, or a couple of hours on the road..well at least 5 times a week work dependant!!
anyway i was chatting to a mate, and he said my heart rate seems high...
i always wear one when cycling and yes mine is accurate....
i cycle at about 90% effort..and generally cycle the hills around here on the south coast, if i cycle on a flat bit with no wind it will average 160 to 170 bpm at over 20 mph...
but whilst out on the hills it will vary from 170 to 185 bpm.. and generally peak about 190 bpm, though have got it to about 203 on some very steep hills!!!!
today for example, i did about 2 1/2 hours and my average was 174 bpm..
but i feel fine when doing so my breathing is fine, quite normal in fact just deep but not laboured at all..
it only gets laboured when it reaches 190 plus..
my resting rate is below 60 bpm..my blood pressure is fine..
anyone know if this sounds fine? or anyone have any views!!
thanks in advance!!!!!
