You run the best track workout of your life. Four repeat miles, and you feel like Moses Kiptanui. You hang around in your sweat-drenched clothes, talking splits with the other runners, and savoring the atmosphere. The next morning you wake up with the Russian Army marching down your throat. You have the flu.
Therefore it is recommended to monitor your pulse rate while running or going cardio.
A normal resting pulse rate is anywhere from 60-100 beats per minute. For a well-conditioned athlete, heart rates in the 50s or even 40s can be considered to be normal. Aerobic exercise like running produces the maximum heart rate at 190 beats per minute. The amount and type of muscle groups contribute to the brain's decision making on how fast the heart needs to pump.
