he's right... when you first start workin out your heartrate goes CRAZY, kinda like you just smoked 3 or 4 cigarettes then ran. the feeling goes away once you're warmed up.

i've realized after years and years of training that remembering to BREATHE CORRECTLY and keep your heart stabilized during the beginning of the warmup is critical. you tend to forget when your high. don't throw a wrench into your endurance in the first stages!
