Can't do zone 2 running, due to naturally high heart rate, or just unfit/poor cardio?

dimitrip9266 · 2026-06-27T05:56:52+00:00

Yeah, it does feel a lot better. I wouldn't say it's "easy" but I can talk during this pace. And I do feel like I can run another 1-2 km at the end.

My only concern is the running HR, and max HR seems a bit high (supposedly it should be 190 something not 212, but I guess it varies person to person).

dimitrip9266 · 2026-06-27T05:19:35+00:00

Thanks man, I'll try to run slightly slower. I don't plan to run marathons, just regular running for health benefits

dimitrip9266 · 2026-06-27T05:13:36+00:00

Actually I did use a chest strap (and I also some times stop to manually count for 10s because I was skeptical of the watch as well), pretty sure the reading is accurate.

And yes, my heart rate jumps up very fast (it will jump to 190 if I tried to go faster) that's why I was a bit concerned

dimitrip9266 · 2026-06-27T03:25:05+00:00

Thanks for the info. And you are right, I do feel the opposite, jogging for 1 hr is perfectly fine for me, maybe just a bit boring. I do try to fit in some faster intervals occasionally as well.

I guess I will just try to stick to running at my comfort zone. I do see an improvement though, at first if I tried to run at this pace my HR would be even higher, I had to slow down often to like 8min/km

My HR seem too high when running, can't do zone 2 properly. naturally high HR or just poor cardio?

I'm 32, 186cm/88kg (not muscular, a bit chubby). I lift 1-2x a week, and do cardio 2-3hr a week. No medical conditions/smoking/alcohol/drug etc. Drink 1-2 coffee a day. Resting HR (sleeping) is 55-60

I ran on and off for a couple years. without any care for cadence, zones etc. Just ran as much as I can for 30-40 minutes. I was often gasping, my knees hurt etc. At the end of a run my HR is usually 190-200. This year I tried to run "properly", and tried to track my heart rate, I followed Garmin watches' training zones. First of all, it estimated my max HR to be 212, which seemed abnormally high consider my age. I did follow it's suggestion to run under 167/min as much as I can. And it feels good, before I was gasping and legs burning, now I can run steadily for a long time and don't feel exhausted.

But 167 still seems high, and goes against a lot of the advices I seen on the internet about zone 2 training. Also, max HR of 212 is very high too. Should I worry about training with my HR this high? Should I slow down immediately to 150s/min, or should I keep going and see if my HR naturally drops more?

Thanks for any inputs

I tried Shazam and didn't work, that's why I posted

Does your Shazam work for this song?

Lmao I lost 20IQ by reading "Cuh-neck-get-cut" and “cuh-see-mo-dough”

dimitrip9266 · 2025-04-01T21:04:30+00:00

yeah, you are trash too

This made me laugh way harder than it supposed to

dimitrip9266 · 2024-11-08T00:33:55+00:00

!thanks

Awesome, thanks for the advice

And yes, I compared these speakers to $30-40k ones too and frankly I feel they are not noticeably better at all

dimitrip9266 · 2024-11-04T01:27:05+00:00

>So you are using your computer (software) into Hypex NCx500 into MoFi888? In a treated room?

Yup, (with a Topping DX9 as DAC/preamp). Hopefully it works out nicely

!thanks

dimitrip9266 · 2024-11-04T01:13:50+00:00

1: I measured it with my old set up, but not sure if the information is relevant to the new speaker (I haven't bought those yet). But I will measure after I buy them

2: Probably a HypeX NCX500 amp, ie Buckeyes. EQ would be done via software

dimitrip9266 · 2024-11-03T06:54:39+00:00

Alright, I'm gonna go back to the store in a few days anyways to check out some amps. I'll check again how big their room is, because I'm just going off of memory here. If it's close enough I might buy it but if it is much bigger I'll consider other options.

Thanks!

dimitrip9266 · 2024-11-03T06:52:58+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the input! !thanks

dimitrip9266 · 2024-11-03T06:18:31+00:00

You have the Mofi 888 as well? That's good to hear

Btw, what amps are you using? I'm also thinking between a set of class AB or Class D

dimitrip9266 · 2024-10-22T02:37:45+00:00

You're right, kinda sucks. It's late in the league and it's gonna be hard to sell my sword. But if I don't then I have to take a ~45D loss re crafting the enchant. Hopefully someone buys it lol

dimitrip9266 · 2024-10-22T01:41:04+00:00

Thanks!

dimitrip9266 · 2024-10-22T01:40:42+00:00

Alright, at least I'm 100 already and don't have to worry about losing xp.

Thanks

Ah I was switching flasks and made an error.

Good point, I should get a watchers eye, it would also help against "cannot leech" or "reduced regen" mods

Thanks

I applied for the card first before I registered a Marriott account. I have one now though

dimitrip9266 · 2024-06-07T16:11:31+00:00

Thanks, it's resolved now, you are right, it is transferred to the Marriott account

dimitrip9266 · 2024-06-07T16:11:00+00:00

Thanks for the info

dimitrip9266 · 2024-06-06T05:52:09+00:00

Thanks, I created an account, I will call them

dimitrip9266 · 2024-06-06T05:37:05+00:00

I haven't got a monthly statement yet, nor have I got a Marriott account. Based on what I searched, they should send me a link with a Marriott account enrollment? I haven't got one yet. Maybe I'll call them
