I don't think I'm overtraining, because usually I could do more of the running.
I forgot one factor, however, and that is nicotine. I stopped smoking, but I'm taking Nicorette, currently the spray. As far as I've been able to determine, it accounts for some 5 bpm with respect to the average. Another factor is the amount of time passed since the beta-blocker was taken, but this seems to affect the maximum more than the resting heart rate. Early on, I have trouble reaching 120 bpm when running, but much later I can get to 130 bpm without even the same amount of effort.
