I think my main issue is with my heart rate. Even on the treadmill, I'll set it for say 1.5 mph and my heart rate literally jumps up to the 140's. That's like barely a brisk walk. So if anyone has any ideas on how to build up a tolerance towards running while at the same time not stressing out my heart rate, then I'm all ears.
Per doc's orders - I can exercise but she does not want me taking my HR past 150.
Maybe the thing to train for is to be able to walk 5K instead of run or jog? (Is that allowed?) That should be fairly doable, a matter of increasing your distance little by little. I think if you decide to run, especially in the excitement of a race outdoors, maybe in challenging weather, you might wind up over 150 at points.
Does your treadmill HR stay in the 140s when you're walking, or does it stay up there a little bit and then come down?
It stays up there until I do a cool down cycle or reduce the number on the treadmill. Really, you can only go so low after 1.5
I'd like to walk for this, but it's a zombie run and you have three flags attached to you. They are your lives. If you lose them, you don't get a medal at the end of the race. There are also obstacle courses along the way. It looks to be a lot of fun.
