I'm not sure I agree with this. Previously I never saw above 187 so by this thinking my max is 187. But today I hit 190 so 187 isn't my max. Did my max HR increase or did I simply get closer to my true max? I'm guessing the latter. People don't usually see their true max. I don't know what my true max is but I'm betting it's above 190 though probably not much.
