Overtraining is not acute. It’s a lack of appropriate rest, and the higher levels you are training at the more likely it is to snag you. And it feels like shit.
But I would venture to say 99.99% of the population of the USA will never actually overtrain.
Work up to it slowly, but I believe in getting your heart rate high. Very high now and then. I plan on still maxing out in the 180s at 60+.
Heart rate is variable however. My lovely wife has a resting heart rate around 38-42 and typically maxes out in the 140s. She is an efficient little fucker.
Again, either use it or lose it. It is very hard to get back up to high levels once you lose it after 45.
And please, if someone is out there getting the work in I don’t care if they are roller skating in shopping centers: good for them. Don’t give them shit. They are doing better than the vast majority of our population.
I don't know that there's any problem pushing heart rate to max if you're young, non smoker, no family history of premature cardiovascular disease. It's more a question of how long your legs or whatever can maintain the level of activity that requires that high of a HR. For me--my dad had his first heart attack at 40, brother at 35, and my aortic valve a little narrow--I'll stay at 80%, and I can't do that for long, but then I'm on a beta blocker.
What you plan is irrelevant. Your max heart rate will slow with age no matter how hard you work at fitness. The heart ages. Heart muscle has no ability to regenerate. The heart cells you're born with are the ones you'll die with. (The cells grow in size as you go from birth to maturity but no new cells appear.) Of course it will slow more if you don't work at it.
My physiology prof had an interesting story. His friend was an ex all American middle distance runner with 2 sons--one also an elite runner, the other an elite violinist. The two college age sons had the same VO2max.
Heart stress tests on a treadmill are sometimes used to evaluate people for big surgery. It turns out that someone who reaches target heart rate (80% of max for age and whose EKG shows blockage of one or more coronary arteries is a much better risk for surgery than someone who can't reach target whose EKG remains normal. In other words--fitness is a better predictor of survival than absence of heart disease.
Fair. But I know my age. I know my max heart rate. I know the rate it should slow at if I stay in the same level of fitness I’m currently in. And I believe I should be able to get to that point if I don’t stop training at this level. Obviously nothing is for certain and injuries, such as the damn stitches I just got in my kneecap from a mtn bike crash, can easily derail you as you get older.
But it’s motivation and it’s within reasonable parameters based on current stats.
So that’s the plan.
Individual heart rate numbers don't matter much and there isn't much you can do to increase your max if you are somewhat fit. And it will drop as you age. What does matter, and what you can change, is how your body functions at certain percentages of that max. You can train your aerobic threshold (% of max at which you are relying almost entirely on the aerobic pathway/ use fat as fuel/ breathe easily while moving) and lactate threshold (% percentage of max at which you can sustain effort for 30-60 minutes, which also happens to be the level of exertion at which you can process/remove lactate at the same level you produce it). You can test these thresholds and they will move, slightly, but very meaningfully, as you build an aerobic base AND, interestingly, as you lose weight.
I got hurt pretty bad in December '17, and basically did nothing for 6 months. It was weird trying to start working out again, because it was fucking shocking how out of shape I was. And until I tried to work out I hadn't even realized, it had just been a gradual disintegration I guess.
So since then, even though my hips are fried, I've been pretty much busting ass. Living right (mostly), eating right, etc etc. And it's been fucking shocking how long it has taken things to respond. Finally, now, in the past few days, after a year, I'm really starting to feel right. Feeling strong and good.
So I am about to get hurt or sick very soon. Fuck.
President Trump believes there's only a pre-ordained number of beats your heart is capable of, so he doesn't exercise because it speeds up his heart which means he'll die sooner.
So keep that in mind, I guess.
^^^ Can we put that fuckwit on a treadmill and get it over with?

used to pay attention to HR when I was a racer boy, but I don't care anymore as long as it's beating
I tried riding, running, exercising, all that shit, but the ice kept falling out of my drink so fuckit.
I wear the same size as I did in high school.
30” waist for decades. The key is not getting fat in the first place.
