Re: Max heart rate

[Guest guest]

Hi .

When I was about 36 years old, a neighbor lady needed me to push her car

to jump start it. It was a car that didn't push normally, even with the

clutch depressed. I pushed the car, running with it 3 times in a row, using

up about 250 yards. I was way out of breath and my heart was pounding like

crazy and I felt woozy.

This being said, I questioned to myself if it was possible to kill

oneself by accident doing such things even if there was no known evidence

of heart disease. It took me a long while to feel normal after this stunt.

In one of the posts, it was suggested the body would simply shut down if

overtaxed beyond this point? It surely seems at this absolute maximum level

of effort, pushing to ones ultimate limits, each person is taking a big

chance?
