| Max Heart Rate...error? (Read 271 times) |

| Based on a few calculations my Max HR should be no more then 190. On an interval run this week my Heart Rate hit 201 two times on my Garmin 305. Does this mean my Max is closer to 201 or the Garmin registered a 201 in error? |
| I ran. I ran until my muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid. Then I ran some more. |

No clue on the HRM but mine has run high for short durations sometimes due to interference by invisible fences or security systems.
Also, forget the calculated values like 220-age. Visit this http://www.runningahead.com/groups/LOWHRTR/Forum/a309acc6bdba4ceeb05b310866086309 for a good description of how to determine your Max HR.
Pfitzinger, Hadd, Maffetone and Daniels also have ways of determining max HR through actual performance and they all discount the calculated versions. |

2008 goals:
1) finish Indy Mini less than 2:10 for LHR - 2:03 Yeah baby!
2) run a fall marathon (Indy)
3) stay injury free
4) PR 5K, 10K, HM & M
5) get my kids to start running with me

Trent,
I think it is just an error. Take a look:

I bet the Garmin is correct. The calculations are often wrong. |

| Heart rate calculations are ballpark formulas for the general population and nothing more. I see nothing alarming about a 201. The formula says 183 for me, but I know I'm at least 196 and probably more. |
