I’ve recently taken on the C25K as I want to use the programme to help me lose some weight and generally get back into shape. I’ve been concerned about raising my heart rate too far as I now live with a subcutaneous defibrillator. My first week of C25K is completed and I’ve done run 1 of week 2. I’m trying to understand how I can differentiate between my heart rate rise being due to my lack of fitness or my condition. Anyone else out there in a similar situation? Also posted this on the C25K community. Thanks.

You should discuss it with your doctor.

Heart rates need to be discussed with your cardiologist or GP as Jimmyq says. My max is lower than the simple Google formula because of the beta blocker factor. As fitness improves it takes more effort to hit that figure!
