Does anyone know anything about where my heart rate should be? I am averaging around 177 on my runs, but when I look up online what it should be everything keeps saying that it should be around 168 for my workouts (about 75% of my max). Am I doing something worng? Should I slow down my runs? I have a polar heart rate monitor so I think it is fairly accurate.
THANKS!!

John,
I have been training for quit some time. I am 22, I was a swimmer in high school, and I am in the National Guard. I am training for my first marathon, but I am up aournd the 10-12 mile mark on my longer runs (I am also a student so my training is not as good as it should be). For the most prat I can talk when I run. I just started using the polar heart rate monitor at the encoragment fo my simi-coach (more someone I just bounce ideas off of and stuff). I have not had a chance to talk to her about this. (we are both students so getting together is sometime hard) and I thought somone on here might be able to send some light onto this. When I work out on the elleptical my heart rate is somewhere around 150 (which to me still seems high).
Maybe my next run I will slow down a little, but I just don't think it is necessary because my body, breathing, and recovery rate all seem fine.
Thanks for you help.

Thanks for all your help. I have checked out all those sites and I start a 16 week program from runnersworld soon, but for now I am just working on increasing my distance. I am doing a middle run with my partner today to see what is going on. We are going to switch heart rate mointors to see if something is up. But, I guess maybe I just have a fast heart.
Again... Thank you.
