I just bought the Polar F4 HRM and I want to be sure I understand the target heart rate. My main concern is that my Max heart rate is 176, since I will be 44 next month and when I ran the other day, my heart rate stayed in the mid to high 160's for the 45 minute sustained run, sometimes going up into the low 170's at the beginning. I can't remember what the average HR was. Is this dangerous? When I did the Viper off the Terminator my max heart rate was 175, average was 142.
Edited to say that I hope this doesn't fall under the "stupid question" category but I honestly don't know if it is safe to exercise at sustained levels up towards the max HR. It would really suck to drop dead....:9
