    That's a really high heart rate. You must be working it. At 17 you're definitely in max endurance improvement zone.

    Use an online target heart rate calculator. I tried one for your age and your max should be 203 at 100% performance, but your target range will be lower. If your average is 204 you might be pushing a bit too hard.
