Heart Rate, Age and training activity
Spent about 45 minutes on the trainer this morning, building heart rate up from 120 to 140 over the time by increasing resistance, based upon my age (64yo) and getting to about 80-90% of predicted Max HR (220-64= 156; 80% of 156 = 125 bpm).
Went out on the bike for a couple of hours later, with HRM and found that my HR went up to 160 bpm or more quite quickly and easily on hills with headwind.
Recently read in a HR training manual that max heart rate may NOT fall 1 beat per year for those who stay in top condition. This book said it might not drop at all!!
Concluson - I need to set a higher HR when training on the trainer!
However, as longer days and warmer weather are coming, I will not have to worry much about this until next winter, hopefully!!

On a side note, I too have noticed that my heart rate increases when outside compared to the trainer. Must be adrenalin or the extra effort required to pay attention to the road, steer the bike, etc.

I am well aware of the numerous formulas for approximating MHR, and also that you don't really know until properly tested at a sports or medical facility. Just thought it was sort of interesting.

I didn't notice anyone saying there was ANYTHING "bad" about eating beef. I simply stated I did not eat much beef. There IS a difference.

By the way, I don't eat much bacon.

that the Chinese folks around him think that all Americans eat a lot of beef, and indicating that was not necessarily true, at least for me.

I picked up a HRM a few weeks ago and have used it on 3 rides so far. I'm 44 and in at 258lbs right now. I have maxed at about 180bpm which is pretty close to my calculated max. My avg HR during my last 3 rides has been 162. In reading the Sally Edwards book (picked up yesterday) I think I need to slow things down if I want to lose weight, which is a goal. I'm going to try that today during a ride and see how it goes.
The HRM sure has made the rides a bit more interesting for sure.
I know everyone is different, but I sure would like to hear some comments on my numbers.
