heart beating faster and can feel it more during exercise

hi , ive recently returned to playing football and been doing quite hard training , lots of long sprints etc , and the last 2/3 times i've felt my heart beating faster (which is normal i know) but it feels more prominent and beating a bit harder. is this normal? i obviously feel like im breathing heavier too but i regain normal breathing after a minute or 2 of rest.

It isn't like palpitations , its just a more prominent heart beat. should i be concerned? this also doesnt stop me exercising it just sometimes makes me think about training as hard

Is it normal for your heart to beat both faster AND harder during exercise...?

Well....yes.

You already seem to know the answer anyway :huh:

Yes it is perfectly normal as you know already
