| Question guys:
I will be 57 in March and with that said, I am now required to take an agility test on March 25th. One event that I have been preparing far is the mile and a half run in under 17 minutes. I have been using the tread mill and have done a mile and a half in about 17 minutes and 15 seconds (almost there). Then I inclined the tread mill to more reflect track conditions and it is kicking my butt.
Well my questions is my pulse rate. My pulse rate more than doubles and in fact at least according to my machine reads 170 when pushing myself on the tread mill. My wife says this is too high and that I am burning muscle. My reply is I only have a month left to get ready. Is a 170 pulse rate too high too maintain for about ten minutes? |
