Hi folks,
I am trying to build a running base by trying LSD using a heart rate monitor. At a leasurely 5 mph,
my heart rate starts at 133 bpm and gradually climbs to 166 bpm after 1 hr. At 45 years young my 85%
tempo heart rate should be 167 bpm according to Runners World.
In order to keep my heart rate at 145 bpm after 1 hr, I would have to drop my speed to 4 mph?!
Does this seem normal? I can't imagine how to keep my heart rate down.
Thanks,
Art
