Heart Rate
What is considered an extremely fast heart rate that wouldn't kill you(but any faster would) if you had the heart rate for 2 or so hours?

In medicine the term we use is tachycardia- which means a heart rate of over 100 beats per minute. This is considered "abnormal" at rest- but it is expected to rise with exercise and times of "stress".
Short periods of time above 100 at rest is okay, however, if it stays around for 2 hours after you exercise, it would be something worth getting checked out. There are a lot of causes for this, but if it stays this high for a long period of time, you can get what is called "hypertrophic cardiomyopathy"- which just means the muscle in your heart becomes big (it exercises more- and becomes bigger)- and that can have serious implications later in life.
If you are considered there are simple tests that can be done- EKG, Echo, Stress test, to check your heart.
Any heart rate where you have symptoms- ie chest pains, shortness of breath, dizziness, is something that should be checked out by your family doctor.
Best of luck,

well I know like 230 and below would be fine
at least for me.
Because I have a fast heart rate, excercising or not.
But yeah, anything in the 300's isn't good.
But it all depends on your age, fitness level, etc.
Your best bet would be to ask a doctor :]
