Heart rate zones

ANSWERED
Hi. I'm pretty new at this, so bear with me. I have a Fitbit charge HR. I use the automatic heart rate zones which I guess are calculated from my age. I have not tried to calculate my max pulse "manually", I don't know how much difference this will be? What I observe is that when out running, my pulse it at "peak" for most of the time. Today t.ex. I ran for 48 minutes, I had 1 minute fat burn, 4 minutes cardio and 44 peak. This cannot be correct can it? I try to push myself a bit, but I'm not completely pumped for almost the whole time. I am not very fit and 10-15 kg overweight.
My resting heart rate is 47 (I wear the Fitbit when I sleep).
Any suggestions to why this happens? Is my maximum pulse affected by my rhr somehow?
