Is it ok to train at 95% of your maximum heart rate?
when I do cardio my average hear rate for 1 hour is 160bpm. My bp at doc last week was 123/71 with 60bpm heart rate. What I would like to know is – is it ok to train at say 95% of max heart rate? sometimes when i go flat our for a less than a minute etc I can get my heart rate up to 180 but can’t sustain it… am I doing damage to my heart if I train at say 95% o f heart rate 3 days week?
Yes of course a person can depending upon a doctors physical and ok. The Pace book even says that a little training at maximum with progression can lead to amazing results and I tend to agree. I believe in two main things get stronger and get faster (more powerful) and supportive nutrition and that is becoming more fit.
