This answers a conundrum I found myself faced with this week. I am 47 and my HRmax for cycling is 176. I have taken to playing Fives (a game similar to squash) after a 15 year lay-off and on Tuesday night I played singles (as against doubles) which is very strenuous. I was a bit surprised at the end of the evening to see I had recorded a max of 182 but all is now clear


In a similar way, I spent 9 months of 2003 on cycle training alone.
Toward the end of that time I found it increasingly difficult to attain my usual max HR of 180.

Due to some harsh weather I joined a local gym and on using a different piece of CV equipment (Stairmaster) I found I could easily reach and stretch the 180 point. Now I train on many different CV and weights machines, this new system has definitely given me an edge when racing with the club.
