I am very concerned about training with the right puls, I tried to find some info on what heart rate to train at, but so far I just have general info.I would really like to keep my heart healthy, because I stumbled into an article(it's in Russian, unfortunately, so I cannot post it here ... I will translate it some time) about how important it is to train and not go over 180 beats per minute(especially for starters) a lot during work-outs and try to mostly keep it in the range of 120-150, otherwise it is a slow path to a heart attack ...So I was wondering: how do you guys measure your heart rate and what do you try to keep it at most of the time and how often do you train with maximum heart rate?
Thanks a bunch.
P.S the article I refer to is extremely interesting, I will translate it one day ...

It is almost impossible for me to keep my heart rate over 120/minute. About the only time I can get it up high is if I run or ride a bike. Then go to the pool and do fly. My resting rate is 60 to 62. If I begin to swim faster, my rate will increase but then drop. I was always a distance swimer and a runner. Now I almost only swim. I do sprints to get it up at times. I have a very large heart and really big lungs.
My MHR 220-46=174. I don't think I've ever had it that high!
