Max Heart Rate?
Question about HR zones. I'm 35 and my max heart (averaged from Crit's and TT's) is 205 and my resting HR is 52. I recover at least 30 BPM of HR across 1minute. I have normal blood pressure. How common is it for someone to have such a high max HR at my age?

Slightly uncommon. No big deal, no worry.

+1. Its just an individual variation. I'm about to turn 60. I was measured in a physiology lab 20 years ago with a 207 MHR. I haven't tried to get to max in many years, so I'm not sure what it currently is, but I do see 190s on occasion and would guess my MHR is between 195-200.

I'm 44. BP is normally 112/70 with resting HR of 51. My avg HR on my 16km commute is 167. I can sustain 205 for 30 minutes without any issues presented. No idea if that is normal but I'm pretty sure 'normal' is somewhat speculative.
