Bill,
Just got a response from Aaron, the trainer. He said they have never been able to find a quick formula for an athlete's max HR. He suggested that I do a 30 second seated sprint, 3 min. rest, another 30 second seated sprint, average the two max HRs and add 5 beats. I'm off to the gym right now so I will try that and see if it looks reasonable. I will check out that Joe Friel book. Thanks.
