Max heart rate?

Just completed week 6 run 2, checked my Fitbit stats afterwards and apparently my heart rate got up to 208...seems very high! Usually the highest it goes to is about 165 but it sits at around 130... Is that normal?!

Sometimes the Fitbit can glitch, sweat or movement can sometimes cause a false reading. If you don’t think it’s that work out your max Hr. Or maybe you just smashed the effort out .

Your normal may not match the averages.

If you feel okay then you probably are. If not get checked by your GP.

Sounds like a rogue reading.

Thanks for the replies, I think it must be a rogue reading... The run was quite hard but not that hard, I felt fine!
