KICK SOME ASS MAX!!!!!

No kidding, outstanding numbers!

For everybody else, we're talking about training based on maximum
heart rate formulas, the formula:
220-age=maximum heart rate
220-age X 65%= start of training range.
220-age X 85%= top end of normal training range

For me it looks like this:
220-43=177 (100%)
220-43 X 65% = 115.05
220-43 X 85% = 150.45

These are the recommended training ranges ( for mere mortals ;) )

If I remember Max's age right (33?)
220-33=187 (100%)
220-33 x 65% = 121.55
220-33 x 85% = 158.95

Anything above 85% is anaerobic territory, ultra athletic range.

I've been eyeing a Polar for awhile now, what model did you pick?
