August Mileage Challenge - sign up and reporting

Re: August Mileage Challenge - sign up and reporting

Today I was biking and I wanted to do some more km, but when I looked at the screen (my bike shows you your cardiac rithm) i noticed 164!!!!!! I don't know why. Normaly I am somwhere between 100-120 and I know my maximum should be around 130. When I saw 164 I was so scared, that I imediately stopped the exercise. And it's strange, because I didn't feel tired or bad.
I don't understand.

Re: August Mileage Challenge - sign up and reporting

I'd love to be apart of this challange. This is only day 4 for me on Atkins but I started exercising at the same time. I'll put in for 20 walking miles this month.

Re: August Mileage Challenge - sign up and reporting

Vek---It have been helpful for you to gradually taper off rather than stopping altogether. According to the Heart & Stroke Foundation (Canada) and the American Heart Association recommend the following target heart rate zones. For your age, you still did not exceed their recommendation for the average maximum. Don't let that bother you.

More importantly, if you are still concerned, let your physician know about it. They may be able to offer suggestions.

Age______Target HR Zone___Average Max Heart Rate
___________50–85%_____________100%_________
20 years.....100–170 bpm.........200 beats per minute
25 years.......98–166 bpm.........195 beats per minute
30 years.......95–162 bpm.........190 beats per minute
35 years.......93–157 bpm.........185 beats per minute
40 years.......90–153 bpm.........180 beats per minute
45 years.......88–149 bpm.........175 beats per minute
50 years.......85–145 bpm.........170 beats per minute
55 years.......83–140 bpm.........165 beats per minute
60 years.......80–136 bpm.........160 beats per minute
65 years.......78–132 bpm.........155 beats per minute
70 years.......75–128 bpm.........150 beats per minute

Thank you, Minofex. I was so scared! Because I calculated this from Dr. Atkin's book and there it was a formula age X weigh and my result was :" i must exercise between 113-130 beats/minute". And when I saw 164 (I have never seen it before) I was looking like a cartoon with the eyeballs outside. and I stopped imediately! But I wasn't tired at all! I just don't get it. Maybe my bike needs new batteries?!
