that you understand the science, how do you use it to get faster? First, you must determine what your maximum heart rate is. Most people have seen the equation: Max Heart rate (bpm) = 220 - age This is only a rough approximation
that everyone of the same age has the same maximum heart rate, regardless of other variable is just ridiculous, but people still use the formula. If you feel comfortable running with a higher heart rate, and feel no ill effects of it, then continue to do so. Why
year old Man. The monitor tells me my average rate is 150 BPM and maximum 202.could you advise me on this matter please? Whats the question?.I am assuming you know your true hax heart rate, and not some theoretical one? Is 202 the highest it's gone up
thread or article round here about it somewhere If its as low as that, then you must be vv fit to find your max heart rate take your age from 220 and that gives (194) is your maximum heart rate and then there are zones depending on intensity which are 50
slow down -- to the point where it becomes an easy run (when I thought the Tuesdays and Thursdays were supposed to be easy, faster runs). Any advice? It probably refers to 85% of maximum heart rate (i.e. a bpm figure of 220 minus your age as a rough
I've been running for ~8 months and recently bought a Garmin 305. I used the heart rate monitor properly yesterday and got some high results. I'm 25 and worked out from a formula on the net that my maximum heart rate should be 196bpm. According
and i've become a better runner for it leave the beeps at home i say just go out run and relax i just test my heart rate once a month now my resting heart rate is 45 and i'm 49........ Calculating your maximum heart rate does not work for a lot of people
be treated as such..!!!Cath is right - you should do a reliable Heart Rate test to determine your Maximum Heart Rate, and calculate your training zones from there!!!! Thanks to you both. I need to get sorted with a proper heart rate test by all accounts
calculated.Here is another method for estimating your Max HR:Males: 210 - 1/2 your age - 1% of your total body weight (lbs) + 4 = Predicted Maximum Heart RateFemales:210 - 1/2 your age - 1% of your total body weight (lbs) + 0 = Predicted Maximum Heart Rate
have just got one basically take your age of 220 and thats the heart rate that you should see when you are training to train at 80 % of your maximum heart rate is the rule aparrently so i am 37 so i woul dlike to see between 170 and 180 when i am
