Ran 50 mpw for a year at 140 Bpm

I am with Smoove, as I am still not following this. Be careful in regard to heart rates, as they depend not only upon your age, but on your body type, overall size, and other factors. I can probably hit 130-140 by walking fast, and 160 is fairly easy for me. Never had my max HR tested, but I gather it must be 190+...and I am an old guy (48). So, be careful in drawing conclusions based upon HR alone, or the general population's view of what is a high or low HR.

Yep, you need to verify what your max is before being so committed to heart rate training. I run at the same bpm range 4-5 days a week, and the other 2 days I do some kind of speed, where my bpm reaches 165-182/3, depending on the type of speed being done.

I've seen others at a similar age though have a max bpm of as low as 150! So obviously they need to run their easy miles at something like 110-120. This is why it's important to figure out your max.

OP is short on details though. Weird, most people want to share more of what they experienced over a year.

An ECG result is available immediately. Perhaps you had a different test? Or, perhaps this is all made up?

My doctor has said since the pain subsided in 5-10 secs its nothing to worry about. Had an ECG done, dont know the results yet.

The doc told me to book a follow up appointment so he can go through the results with me. I believe the person who did the ECG is not a doctor and can't give medical advice (UK).

I'm 21 years olds so I assume I have a fairly high mhr.

Min and max heart rate values aren't necessarily synonymous with age. I have a max HR of around 185. Somebody that I know of the same age as me has a max HR of around 155. We're both of similar marathon times.

Find out what your max is. I don't think that you're running on HR for real but I'm putting this info out there in case others want it.

Yep. I am 48, and I hit 187 today in the last mile of a tempo run. I use a chest strap, and have seen 188 and 189...so probably a max of 190+. Age is a tricky thing in regard to HR. To me, a person's size matters more. I am a little guy, and smaller people tend to go higher.

Solid troll. How's the 6 figure income, the model wife, and the sub-14 5k working out for you?

Depends on your age and max HR, but for me personally, I'm still in fat burning zone at 130 bpm and getting into the aerobic zone mid-high 130s lol. That is not a high heart rate unless you're 60 yrs old. If anything, that sounds very sensible.

What ways has this negatively affect my body. Of course I'm a lot fitter but can this cause me problems? So far no injuries luckily. I was doing 10 miles a day at a steady 130-140 bpm

I doubt it would have any negative effect. If you did 10 miles a day with a 130-140 bpm you could definitely handle it with the two days off a week. Great job!!!

Could you please answer these?

What kind of pace were you running when you started?

What was your pace at the end of the year?

How did the temperature effect your pace?

How did weather effect your pace?

Thanks

Affect, not effect
