Really interesting to compare my heart rate to yours. Everything happens for you at a lower heart rate than mine, all the way to your HRMax. I can't help but think there must be some significance in that, but I have no idea what it is.

Hi Flatlander,
It is interesting. I believe my MHR is 174 (based on something I read - I forget where maybe the Garmin watch literature). The Competitive Runner's Handbook calculates it as 172. That book states MHR is 220-age. But I believe your MHR may actually be higher than what that formula would indicate.

I got my heart rate to 193 at the end of a 5-mile run on Thanksgiving Day last year. It was a hot day and I was going all out for an extended period of time, so I think that number is pretty close to my max. The formula is only a statistical average, lots of guys are either over or under. According to the formula I would be at 164, which in my case is actually my HR at marathon pace.

That tells me that perhaps my MHR is a good deal higher than 174.
Maybe I'll do a few test runs to determine if my MHR is actually higher than 174.
Of course, if it is much higher, that would require I run harder to meet my optimum training pace goals...but I'm good with that. I could raise the bar if that is warranted.

Could be higher or lower. I tend to get my highest heart rate readouts in races, I guess I'm too lazy to really push it that hard in a training run.

Nice solid week PRE. Keep up the excellent training. When is your next race?

Hi Scott.
Thanks.
My next race...next Saturday on 2/26/11.
It is the 20th Colchester Half Marathon in CT.
And then another Half Marathon in March.
