What Does Heart Rate-155,BP-110/65 And Total Cholesterol-210 Indicate?
I ride a road bicycle up mountains for excersize. I m 50 years old, 180lbs, 5 9 tall. When I ride up the mountain, my heart rate hovers around 155bpm the entire time - for 2 - 4 hours depending on how far I go (although it can get up to 170 if I push it for short period up the hill). My recovery is always quick and I feel great but I have begun to wonder if its ok to have my heart rate that high (155) for that long. My blood pressure is always around 110 over 65 and glucose around 95, total cholesterol 210 and LDL 70. Do I need to be concerned about lengthy rides at 155bpm?

Hello,
As your target heart rate is around 170 bpm so during exercise even if it’s staying around 155 that’s pretty fine.
As you are doing vigorous exercise and you feel absolutely fine so that means you are in good health and there is nothing to worry. Keep maintaining healthy lifestyle routine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
