Just wondering what everyones heart rate is when at moderate training and at maximum effort

If im doing a 5KM run @ 9.5KM thats a moderate run for me. My heart rate will sit at about 160

At full tilt with sweat pouring off my face at 100% my heart rate would be about 195. For me this is a 5km run at about 12.5 KMS.

21 Years of age =)

Data taken from my heart rate monitor for my last run (5.33km, 12.3 km/h 26mins 3.5sec) tells me my average heart rate for the run was 168, with a max of 179. That's probably an 80-90% work out for me at my current fitness. At the start of the year I managed to get my heart rate over it's theoretical max, but being 35 years old it's not that hard to do lol.

While it's good to know your workout heart rate to make sure you are in the right zone, 2 things that I think are just as important as your workout heart rate are your resting heart rate and how long it takes for you to get back down to a resting rate after your workout. For example my resting heart rate is about 70, and within 5 mins of the end of a run my heart rate has gone from 180ish at the end of the run back down to about 100.

my resting heartrate which gets tested every 3 months when i give blood is 51-53. when i used to smoke my resting rate was around 70. the only time i have tested my heartrate during exersize was on a treadmill after quitting smoking at around 70-80%. would be up around 160 in no time at all and my chest would be on fire.

Running with interval between 10kmh and 13kmh I hit about 170 and gain 1bpm per km I run...max I'd possibly hit though is 178

Normal resting is 58bpm, but if I relax can drop it 50 easy

220-age gives max heart rate (MHR), max heart rate - resting heart rate (RHR) gives you heart rate reserve (HRR), to find training heart rate (THR) is (hrr x training percentage/100) plus resting hr

eg. Resting hr is 54, age is 23

MHR is 220-23 = 197

HRR is 197-54 = 143

50% THR is (143x.5)+54 = 125.5

Using that is a good way to set training intensity goals for a cardio workout eg. Warmup 40-60%, session intervals of 50-80% cooldown 60-40%. I have the intensity guidelines for muscular endurance, strength and hypertrophy (increase size) if anyone is interested in those. I agree with what emtea said, pay attention to how long it takes to get back down to normal, adequate recovery time will allow you to train at higher intensity for longer :-)

Trozzle, let me write you a program :-) lol I need PT Guinnea cops for my last assessment

haha I would Mel, but I'm in the gym for aesthetics - size, and some strength. Not to lose fat or build stamina....lol so I'm already following something Birds has done up for me.

When I wanna get my fitness back up to where it was, I'll hit you up perhaps :P

Shame about it having no basis in science. Using Karvonen gives it a little individuality but it can be off by +/- 20 bpm or more.

But you probably have to use it.

I'm 23, last night my HR running on an incline at 10.5 km/h reached 190,

For the flat it sits at 180-182 at the same speed.

Resting this morning it was 57 BMP

In the gym it has so far peaked at 213.... which is kind of not what that calculation says :unsure: So I don't know what my MHR is yet! Just going to wait until I pass out :turned:

Whoops... just realised this is an old thread -_-

Edited by JEPPE

My heart rate is high in the rev range (from the heart rate monitor on the treadmill and eliptical trainer).

I'm probably rated as "un-fit"

Going hard I can easily reach 185bpm. Going all out I've hit 200bpm - with sweat gushing from every pore.

Heart rate is usually at the gym is around 175~180bpm

My work colleague is much bigger than me (obese) but much more fit hits only 150bpm, barely breaks a sweat.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
