Hey Guys,
I start to worry about my VERY high heart rate when running.
Today i went for 5k at around 5:00min/km which i would say is an effort of about 6.5-7/10 for me.
(5k PB is a little less than 20min)
Yet my Heart Rate is constantly above 190 and often even near or north of 200.
I am 28 years old, 1.83m, 69kg, healthy, and have a RHR of 48 and an approximate max HR of about 206 (which i never have been tested for)
I tracked my HR using a Garmin Forerunner 735xt with and without Hr strap and borrowed a friends TomTom to check if my devices are wrong - which isn't the case.
I can't run below 150 at all and have problems staying below 170 when not going VERY slowly.
Should i visit a cardiologist or something similar?
Many thanks
