Heart Rate

I hope this is the correct forum for this question. I'm 66 and I just got a heart rate monitor to use with my Edge 705. Yesterday and today both I rode my trainer and I rode at my normal pace and at what level of effort I am comfortable with. According to data I've read my max training heart rate should be 145. However today I did 40 minutes at over 150. I didn't feel stressed, just normal.

Is this bad for me? Should I slow waaaayyyy down to keep my heart rate within the normal range?
