Hi all,
I am pre-op (hopefully a number of years), and have always played competitive sport. My cardiologist advised me to stop doing so. I'd been wanting to retire from rugby for a while anyway!
I wonder what people have told with regards pushing themselves when in my condition. The cardiologist advised me to exercise in the cardiovascular range 65% - 75% of max bpm, which I do.
However sometimes I want to run hard, or play football (soccer to you US types), just to get the buzz. I have been advised not to do distance running, but just occasionally I'd like to push it.
Anyone have any thoughts/experiences?
