I am no sports medicine expert (my idea of sport is playing an afternoon of social ladies cricket once a week in summer, fielding close in so I don't have to run as much, lol). But I know that professional trainers carry out a basic health check before starting a programme and they measure resting heart rate, blood pressure etc. Of course, you want your exercise heart rate high enough to help you achieve your goals, but hopefully not so high that it's an issue. Good to see you are seeing a sports dietician as opposed to a regular one, since IMO there's more chance the dietician is up to date. If you can find out your iron blood test result (and previous test if available) and show it to the dietician, I think they would find it useful info.  Keep up the good work! You are an inspiration.</blockquote>
