Of course, Paula's pace wasn't race pace, but still... 10km in 45min. It all depends on the women's past exercising habits. You can't ask someone who rarely/never exercises to exercise when pregnant – hence 60% HR of a fit person is not the same as 60% of a non-physically active person.
- kohanz 13y agoI don't care how fit you are, almost no one is running a 10k in 45 minutes at 60% of max HR. I'm sure in many cases more strenuous exercise is not detrimental, but of course the public health recommendations are going to play it safe.
