I've been going or try to be going at the scale of this web site.

It says at the age of 70 I should be at a MHR of 158. For the last 2 days I can only get up to 148 and I'm really trying pretty hard. I breathing heavy and my legs are getting a little heavy near the end of my ride up this hill that I've been trying to get the most out of the ride.
Do you think I should use the 148 as my max rather than the 158 that the scale shows?
Maybe I'm not in good enough shape to get it any higher than 148.
I've been riding almost 4 years now and I thought I would be in better shape. When I started riding, I use to hit this one hill and my MHR use to go to above 162. Maybe I'm getting in better shape, but it didn't feel like it this morning. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
