What's your HR while running?

I don't run very fast, but even still my HR is regularly 170-175 which is about 10-12 shy of my max. Is this common? What's yours while you're running your regular pace?

It depends on the run. When I feel pretty speedy but can sustain my pace for 30 min or so, my heart rate is usually around 156-160. Any higher and I can't keep it up. If I'm plodding along, more like 135.
My sister is like you- we run together and her heart rate is like 185!0 -
Last run I did I was between 175-1930

If I'm doing speed intervals it gets up to ~185. At my typical 5k pace it's about 165.0

light jog, 90-110. 130 at a decent clip. About 155 sprinting.0

I do intervals. I go up to about 185 (sometimes 190 if I feel ok), then drop down to the 150s and repeat.0

Usually in the 180's but it can get into the low 190's.0

WOW !!!! I was hitting 150's at ~5mph ... I would get to 170-190's when going HARD0 -

The only time my heart gets over 170 is with weight lifting.0 -
Thanks guys!0

On my easy runs I stay in the 140's, possibly getting up to 155 max. I haven't done true intervals in over a month, but I made it up to 165 or possibly a bit higher. I don't recall ever seeing my HR at 170 or above. I find it difficult to maintain for very long when I go over 160.0

anywhere from 155-175 but running for more than 2 minutes straight is still pretty hard for me, especially when i need to string those 2 minutes into enough for a 5k :frown:0

My sister and I are doing a 5K July 1st and so last night we ran like Zombies were chasing us, we were DYING... at one point my HR was 181 (max is 187 at my age) and we calculated out finishing time in the 45 minute range I know I should compare to myself a few months ago, but I thought I would be better at this. My heart seems to want to explode when I run LOL0 -
Same as alot of others 160 to 165 average up to 172 uphill but I would never be out of breath legs just a bit ache on the hills but that passes once I level out again. I often wonder should I push myself a bit harder be more out of breath anyone??0

It varies with my pace.....this morning's run (8 km / 5 mi @ 10.5 min / mile) was an average of 143 for a shorter, faster run it may get up to around 155.
To the OP, how did you determine what your max HR should be?0 -
I feel better seeing all your replies!! My average HR when running a 5K is around 190-200 at 6.3 mph. I've been told that this is very fast considering I'm quite active (some people panick when they see my HRM). I've seen a cardiologist a few years ago and he didn't seem to be alarmed (ECG and stress test were normal). He said it should go down with time, but that hasn't happened. I see I'm not the only one with a high heart rate!!0
