I'm new to this and noticed that max heart rate is often based on age. Considering the extremes in fitness levels, can this be accurate?
Is there a more individualized way to calculate max heart rate? If so, do tell.🙂

The best way to find your max HR is to get a HR monitor and get a really good warmup and slowly just start going harder and harder until you absolutely cannot go any harder. That's how I do it.

Thanks for the info, that makes sense.

I find that running will push my HR far further than any cycling I have ever done...I have done CC races and was a Downhiller for a few years...We used to train pretty darn hard. I can always get more beats per minute out of a run...
I can hit maybe 185 pedalling my noodle off on the bike but can easily spike into the high 190's running...That's a significant difference to me.
