 Posted: 04/16/04 - 21:03 Post subject: Stupid Question about HR
I've been running the last two days in the heat ( 70 degrees) which is quite a change from the 40-50 degree weather. The HR monitor seems to crank up about 10 beats more than my usual HR in the same setting. Is this the heat factor that I am not used to yet?

Should be.
I'm no HR wiseman though.

10 beats seems like quite a jump, but it's entirely possible. I know that once it gets hot here, that I'll have to slow my pace to maintain the same HR.

Factors Affecting Heart Rate
| Quote: | | Heart rate increases at high temperatures. Your heart rate is higher when running on a hot day. As the temperature increases from 60 degrees to 75 degrees, a runner’s heart rate at a given speed increases by about 2 to 4 beats per minute. When the temperature increases from 75 degrees to 90 degrees, you can expect your heart rate running at a given speed to increase by approximately 10 beats per minute. High humidity magnifies the effect of high temperatures on heart rate |
