First a lil background:
I'm 15, been doing triathlons for 2 years, been swimming for 1.5 years previous to that.
Today at run practice we had a lil mini race. 3.2k, but we weren't suppose to go all out (we did though). After a nice long 5k warmup we were off. The course is pretty flat, but at the very end there is a gradual 500 meter uphill, that gets steeper nearer to the top. I usually reach my max HRs there.
After we finished (11:30 minutes) I checked my polar. It's been pretty accurate up to this point, so I see no reason these numbers aren't real. My average HR was 198, maximum of 205 (the highest i've been to is 216, tested in some lab).
What does this mean? That's a high heart rate, even for me. Is this my LT, AT or what?
Thanks.
