Bike Forums - Addiction I

Max HR declines with age. Somebody 18-20 years old should have a max in the 200+ range. My max HR was 195 or so in my 30's and early 40's, now that I'm 52 it's more like 186, once in a while I see 188. Haven't seen 190 in the past few years.

^ makes sense. Someone at work today told me 202 is heart attack level, and that I need to watch it.

This is... well...

Ah okay. I'm looking to join NCVC soon. Working at a major sponsor helps.

Nice. A couple of yutes from NCVC dominated the Church Creek TT.

That is what my race data normally looks like

max 197-202

almost everytime

If all that blow didn't kill me in the 70's, what makes you think cycling will do it? I'll dance on all your friggin graves.

if i don't hit 202, I wasn't trying very hard. everyone is different. if you're max is 150, 202 will probably kill you.

In 20-40 min TT's, my HR averages 175-176. That's about 94% of max for me.

Hey pCad, I tried to do a max heart rate test on the trainer this winter, but got tired before I got to the blacking out/puking stage. I got to 189 though. So, how much can I add to that? I don't really want to try again, just too much like hard work.
