So my new garmin edge 800 has the nifty Heart monitor that you all know about.
I got to reading about zones and maximum heart rates on the net today. The max they said was 214 - (80% of age) (for men)
That would mean theoretically my maximum heart rate is 180.4
This morning I was getting all excited on my trip to the office and ran a kilometer or so at around 38km/hr. When I got to the office i saw that my heart rate went up to about 179 BPM. (trip average of 165BPM)
I have seen some others here with max heart rates over 200. (I think)
What kind of max heart rates are you guys getting to and where do you aim to sit on your training runs? Obviously the "guided max" is just that a basic guide with a lot of variables. But do you guys have a point that you cool off?
Thanks for any insight!
