SE during BB - is there a wrong way to do it?

Hey guys, so im starting week 5 of BB this week.

Over the past few weeks I have taken note that my HR gets particularly high during my SE sessions, and sometimes my E session (depending how hard im pushing my run).

If im not mistaken, I should be somewhere between 130-150 BPM, while doing SE/E workouts, correct?

Assuming that is correct, is it bad for me to be in the higher HR ranges (155-175 for me) for any amount of time, during SE while doing BB?

I would think that If i go beyond the recommended BPM range, that I may not be getting the appropriate adaptations.

and as a final question, If I should be more strict on staying within the recommended HR range, does that mean i should slow down my reps? or should I just pause for a bit when i reach the higher end of the range, until my HR drops back down?

your input and insight is appreciated!

There are no HR restrictions for SE.

Fazer, there's no HR requirement for SE. It's just for the E during Base..
