low target heart rate

I am a new runner. I went from mile 13 minutes a mile of 7.20 minutes. I run about 3 miles every day with a day to 5 miles. I do not know much about heart rate. I know my target heart rate is 115 to 134. My question is this, when I run my heart meter, RS200 polarusa, says I have 175 and have continued there. If up to 7.5 mph (sprint for me) I can get my rhythm for up to 179, but after 4 to 5 minutes it settles down to 175. Is this high? I should note that the target rate seems very low? I am 28, if that helps. I'm not breath or I'm fighting alone worried about hurting myself.

Great question, love the heart of such questions. The simplest formula is 220 - age = maximum heart rate. So at age 28 the maximum heart rate would be 192. If you are running what I call a temporary route, which is a shorter distance in close of max. I would say that you want HDI maximum of 80 to 90%. So in the 90% that gets your heart rate at about 172 for a work out. What this formula does not account is your current health. If you are healthier and have been running a while your maximum heart rate will be slightly higher because their heart muscle can handle higher BPM. So for your age and situation, in my opinion is fine. Congratulations on making the long mile. At 50 years old best mile I was able to Week rank output is 8:15. I currently run 2.5 miles and 4 miles per day with my long run this week of 8.5 miles. Http: / / thediabeticrunner.blogspot.com Harry
