Is It Dangerous To Run On A Thread Mill At Very High Speed?
Hi doctor,
Need to discuss my heart rate while running on a tread mill.
While running fast around 13-15 kms/hr my heart rate often shoots to 190 plus i.e 31.6 per 10 second is it dangerous to run at this speed. I generally run for 20 minutes with varying speed (interval training)
My Height is 5.4 ft = 64 inch, weing around 68-70. BMI being 26.

What is your age? Age plays a important factor in use of treadmill. The heart rate of 190 bpm is expected if you are running at such high speeds.
