This may be a stupid question but i'm going to ask anyway...
I have done a bit of HRM training...my max heart rate in theory is approx 197..resting heart rate around 45......however if I go as fast as I possibly can, the max I can ever get my heart rate to is about 182. I used to a lot of running as well and had the same result, even at the point where i can't breathe and am about to fall over...
Do most cyclists actually reach their max heart rate?? Is there specific training I should do to actually reach this - would it make me go faster?? (i.e. because i'm working harder....)
just curious....
