Never had a heart rate monitor before until I got my garmin recently. I'm finding that on hard efforts my max heart rate hits around 163. I'm not getting above my 'tempo' zone - which I haven't set by myself by the way, it's just been done automatically. Is that normal?
Following one of the garmin coach plans and this morning had to do 6 reps of 90 second hard efforts with 90 seconds of rest in between - see first attachment. (Plus a mile warm up and mile warm down)
On Friday I did 2 mins warm up and 6.5km as hard as I could - second attachment.
I do have a mild heart condition.
