| Last night I entered a Max HR for a workout as 233 but it looks like it will not accept a value higher than 220. Is this true or do I have something setup wrong? THANKS!! |

Did you use a heart rate monitor? How do you know your heart rate went up to 233?

| Yes I do use a HRM. It is a cheap one(Bike Nashbar) and I am not sure how accurate it is, but for the most part it seems to work fine. |

I've only used my new heart rate monitor 3 times since I bought it and all 3 were easy runs, but when I was younger and used a heart rate monitor I could easily get my heart rate into the 230s. This was 10 or 12 years ago now.
Probably in mid-December I'll do an MHR workout to see where I currently stand. I'd say that a 233 is possible, if not probable. Doesn't mean that Eric doesn't have it limited to a max of 220 though. |

| On several other occasians I thought I had entered a value higher than 220 and it defaulted to 220. I like to use my HRM to make sure I am not overtraing. My recovery heart rate helps me. |

I believe it's possible, but at his age is it healthy for it to be that high? Your heart rate should slow down as you get older.
cphase have you had a physical lately?
For example; if your max heart rate was 235 when you were 15, it should be around 205 at the age of 45.

| Yes I have had a physical lately, but my heart rate was not checked. It is possible the HRM is not working properly all the time, haven't checked it against a known good HRM. |

Hi guys,
I set the arbitrary limit at 220 when I first created the log but obviously, there are folks that will exceed that limit. I've added this to my bug list and will change it with the new log.

| Thanks Eric, I was mainly just curious. I don't think my HR is actually that high, cheap meter may not be reading correct. Keep up the great work!!! |
