I am not sure what my max is. I have kept it at 192 during a 5K race. I thought I would die though. If the 220 minus age is accurate then my max would be 94. I try and keep my HR between 160 and 170 on the hard runs.
What range do you run in for your runs?

192-196 does sound about right then. My max heart rate is 170. 220-age gives me 187. However, 220-age is only a rough approximation. There are many exceptions.
On an easy run my HR is around 120-135. I hit 146 at 6:00 pace, 152-155 at 5:40, 160-163 at 5:30. Whenever I monitor HR it is more out of curiousity than to make decisions on how fast I am going to go. I rely on the natural body feedback more than anything to choose the pace.
