So: I've been running regularly since Corona (on average 3-4 times a week). Now I talked to my friends about it, and they said that my time running was extremely good: I managed to run 7.1 km in 30 minutes about 3 weeks ago. Now it is so that I tried to run the whole thing again today (I even managed 7.2 km in 30 minutes). The thing is that I really ran to the limit for it, which means I really gave everything. My point is that in the end I had a pulse of 185-200, (not continuously towards the end) My smartwatch and the huawei health app think that this is too high (and above all I have a very long regeneration time of 48 hours sol) I looked on the Internet to see whether such a high pulse is harmful to health, and there I read that such a high pulse is okay, if this load only lasts briefly or if you don't feel any pain in the heart area or something neither is the case with me).
I still wonder whether training to this extent can be hazardous to health or whether it is ok if I take enough breaks. But I do not intend to run regularly to this extent, I would just like to know if I should rather stop running to this extent. (My health app says long breaks are necessary)
Maybe there's someone here who really knows it and can help me there, I'm somehow very unsure about it. Please write me your views (the average pulse was 177 and I'm 17 years old).
How high is your normal pulse?
Without sport 50-80
Permanent training at the limit is not good and can lead to overload and injuries.
Endurance training in the high pulse range 1-2 times a week is perfectly ok. But make sure you have enough regeneration.
70% of the total endurance training should take place in a moderate range.
Okay in this specific case I was more concerned with whether I can reach this value again if I want to. I usually don't run in this area.
It is definitely unhealthy. You will probably be on the brink of an overload disease.
The rule of thumb is that the training is not increased by more than 10% per week and is about 50% GA1 runs
So I'm sorry, but for me it just seems pretty overwhelming… I'm not at all faced with an overload disease, I have been feeling better since I started doing sports. Especially since I don't understand what you mean by 10 percent increase.
You increase your running training by a maximum of 10%.
I have been running for a few years and usually everything is great, until then the running diseases suddenly start as an overload reaction. You should definitely lower your training
Yes, but I don't train going through the limit. My question was more focused on whether it is harmful to health if you run at the limit.
Not at the limit, but the majority should remain in the GA1 range and you should still watch out for the first signs of overload. Otherwise you can't run for weeks or months
Okay thanks for the hint.
No problem. Have fun and good luck
Then it's not that dramatic. You really shouldn't do this permanently.
I don't see any health risk there.
However, it is not very good to often go full throttle in training. Especially as a beginner, you would do well to take it easy for the most part. Give your body time to adjust to such pressures.
You should rather approach longer distances. From an hour on, running really starts:-)
