Your heart beats faster when running as In order to move faster the muscles in your legs require more energy. Energy is released to the muscles by a process known as respiration, which requires oxygen to occur. Oxygen is delivered to the muscles for respiration via the blood pumped by the heart. In conclusion your heart beats faster whilst running as your body's muscles require more oxygen for respiration to deliver the necessary energy required for running.

What happens to your heart rate when you run for 3 minutes?

Well, it depends on how fast you are running. If you are doing a typical jog (5MPH) your heart rate will slightly increase. If your doing a decent run/sprint (8-9MPH) your heart rate will rapidly increase. It also depends on how fit you are. If you are out of shape, your heart rate will increase faster. If you are fairly fit, your heart rate will take some time to rise. Hope I answered your question!
