I am interested to know if there is someone in the group who practice hi intensity exercise like cycling, Running, soccer, weight lifting, cross fit, etc. where the heart rate is around 75 to a 90% of their MAX HR.
I practice MTB and recently got back to local competitions. Last weekend I did fine in a local race. I got a 6[SUP]th[/SUP] place in the race, but my heart rate got a little higher than I would expected.
It was a 36KM (22.5 Mile) race , flat rocky and dusty section, no crazy up hills, I did 1 hour an 19 minutes, my average HR was 159 and the max HR was 179. The 179 HR was only at the end of the race and for less than 45 seconds. I had my mechanical Aortic valve replaced on 05/30/15 almost 9 months ago.
After the race I felt fine, no complications, no drama at all. Except I was super happy because I did better than previous years.
What sport do you practice? how Hi do you keep your HR? what is your Max HR? How do you feel after a heavy training and your HR is higher than normal? What does your cardiology thinks about it?
Of course I will discuss this with my cardiologist in the next appointment and I will share his thoughts.
Please excuse my bad orthography, as you just noticed, English is not my first language.
Thank you and I hope you are doing great.
