Guys, It seems like I'm having a problem with thresholds...

I came back from shin splints and just did my first run today after recovering. So I began to run and below 75% HR max was WAY TOO EASY. People were WALKING past me (I was RUNNING and STILL THEY COULD WALK FASTER THAN MY RUNNING).
So I began to run faster and faster without breathing with my mouth. I've reached a point where I was running EASILY with 86% HR max...

Is my threshold too high? What am I doing wrong?

I would guess your HRmax is inappropriately set. How did you figure it out?

Karvonen's formula... It seems to work with cycling! It is 197... I wonder if the real one is 210, for example...

Ya, I would say it very well maybe. We've been through this a number of times on this forum. Do a search, but my guess would be the above. Just go out do the run test and subtract 10-11bm for the bike. Those formulas are really sketchy as you get fitter. The only way to REALLY get HRmax is all out running as we have discussed. Good Luck.
