You want to exercise within the range of 60-85% of your maximum heart rate. To get your max heart rate, you take 220 minus your age-in your case, it's 185. 60% of that is 111, 85% of that is 157. Take care not to exceed the top number, the closer you get to it without exceeding it, the greater the benefit.

Your theoretical maximum heart rate is defined as 220 - your age, so for you it is 185. This is an approximate number only though so you can be +/- 10 from this for a maximum. When you are running long distance, you should be aiming to get your heart rate up to between 70-85% of this number. Any higher then this and you will be limiting your distance potential. If you are running sprints, or hills, you can expect to be between 90-100%. Since you are a new runner, I would suggest you start at the 70% point so around 130. This will allow you to develop your stride and endurance without making you gasp for air all the time. You may find this to be a low number and will have to slow down to a walk at times.

115 WAY too low. If you are reasonably fit, 185 should be no problem as a ceiling. at 185, you will likely build lactic acid in your muscles and not be able to hold that type of pace for long. For longer runs, target 130-160 for caloric burn.

a million.5 mile another day isn't a stunning deal. and that i'm no longer particular how lengthy you've been doing it. Get your pulse the first project you awaken contained in the morning (nonetheless in mattress) to work out if that is nonetheless above 80. i do not comprehend once you've the different complications except for merely "operating slower". in case you do not have chest discomfort, no short of breath, and no relatives heritage, i does no longer complication that a lot. yet when it does problem you, do get a verify-up.

Normally 60-100 heartbeats per minute. When running up to 150-250.
