Which HR device are you using and have you definitely input all your data correctly, i.e. resting HR, max. HR, height, weight, age etc.?

I second this. I ran three marathons before finding out that I had been born with a heart condition. Anyway, one open heart surgery later and I'm now running marathon PBs in my 40s.Gentle reminder to those who haven’t had a heart screening prior or since starting their running mojo. I turned 26 on Wednesday run 15-20 miles a week, cycle, swim, gym, climb intermittently and I collapsed on a club run thursday. Electrical impulse fault with my heart so a few months of testing to check there’s nothing underlying that’s causing it, otherwise can be rectified.
A bit scary, get a check up if you haven’t yet.

Very strange that you're still in zone 4. Do you mind if I ask how you found your max. heart rate?Garmin Vivoactive HR. Checked the details and everything seems correct.

Apparently a load of tosh that rule. Was told by a doctor that athletes performing to their maximum workload often push over 200.

Yeah, that's where you're going wrong. That will be miles off your max. HR, hence your watch thinking you're in zone 4 when you're almost certainly not.Based on the 220 - age (48)
