im 21, just started riding seriously about every day a few weeks ago, before that ive only dabbled in it due to time restrictions and other stuff.
with that said, i also started using a HRM. i ride for about an hour, averageing about 17-19mph.
anyways, my BPM stays about 180 the whole time. sometimes it will drop to 160 after i had to wait at a stoplight or if i just take it easy for a minute, but it also will climb to 190 and stay there for a good amount of time. when i sprint, its at 200 for the minute or two that i hold it.
ive reached a max of 206.
dont know if this stuff matters but im in decent shape, just not endurance wise which i am working on now. im 5' 10" and weigh 155lb and i eat right.
i feel like these numbers are sky high. whats going on here? i dont think i need to ride less hard cause for the one hour that i ride im not killing myself. in an earlier thread someone mentioned i might have a smaller than average heart which would make it have to beat faster.
any insites or answers please. also, leave your age, how long youve been riding, and your HR info, like your max and what BPM you usually ride at.
