I attempted to run a couple fast intervals to determine a true max HR today.  It was super warm and humid.  I should've bagged it and just logged easy mileage.  2 mile warm up followed by a hard 1/2 and 2 hard 1/4s with minimal rest inbetween (30 seconds).  1 mile cool down.

I could only muster a max HR of 163.  I felt very uncomfortable running fast, probably because I've only been logging slow mileage since starting up in the beginning of the year.  I will definitely start running some sessions of strides a couple times a week to get my wheels going again.  The good news is that nothing hurt and my calves were up for the challenge.
