Good afternoon,
I'm 32. I train about 3 years. My pulse wasn't more than 175 bpm for all this time even during hard interval training.
Is it normal or should I try to "accelerate" my pulse up to maximum values corresponding to my age?

Good afternoon,
Only maximum heart rate is not enough to evaluate you level of training. We should know your heart rate during "slow trainings". If your heart rate is 145-150 bpm during easy runs, an upper value of 175 bpm will limit you to a large extent not allowing you to have a stock while running. Since it is heart rate increase that the main resource for maintaining a pace over long distances.
If your level of training is high enough and you can do recovery runs at a heart rate lower than 145 bpm the question of heart rate increase may be not so relevant for you and you can achieve your goals without changing maximum heart rate.
Oleg Sergeevich, good afternoon.
Thank you for your previous replies. I'd like to ask you the next question about a heart rate.
As you taught me, I'm trying to train so that my heart rate doesn't exceed 145 bpm during cross running and it lasts 1,5 hour.
But my heart rate reaches 170-180 bpm during interval running and 140-150 bpm in a resting state. I do interval running 1-2 times a week and training lasts 45 minutes. Is it OK for my age? I'm 55.
Is it possible to train exceeding your maximum heart rate? What excess is permissible and how long?
Good afternoon.
What should my heart rate be if I'm 40 years old and my pace during long-running is about 4 min/km?
Good afternoon!
My question is not short but concerns a key factor for running. So, could you tell about a heart rate in detail? Cardiovascular system is in fact the key one when we speak about aerobic exercise.
1. What heart rate should I maintain during running, what things should I pay attention to and which factors affect the determination of “target heart rate”?
2. How can I control my heart rate? Which devices or methods are more reliable for heart rate measuring during training?
3. What is a dangerous heart rate that should not be exceeded?
Oleg Sergeevich, good afternoon.
Please, explain me how to make a schedule of interval runs in order to increase the anaerobic threshold if I'm an amateur runner.
Thank you.
