Under the 220-age formula, the Immortal Highlander (and Noah and Methusela) would have a negative max heart rate.

Where is the certified fitness trainer to help us with this conundrum?

That's funny, Kopride. But, hell, if you live to be several hundred years ago, I don't think you really need a fitness trainer, who'll probably only live to 80.

If you check the current Life Manual, Genesis 6:3, you will find with the correct diet 120, years is to be expected. The 220-age formula means you will be slow jogging in the later years of triathlon.
