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.

Could change the run to a bicycling equivalent effort and see what you come up with........Your Maximum Heart Rate - How to Establish It and How It is Used.

Just a suggestion from an oldtryguy who will find out in 11 days if his lottery dream to participate in the Kona Ironman World Championship Triathlon comes true and in 12 days goes for another prostate biopsy.
