Just got my a new heart rate monitor....Polar S150.

What the highest you have had yours and whats your resting.

I got it up to 204 last night running and by the time I woke up and found where the strap was, I was 47.

47! that's good. Last time I checked mine (back in the early 90's some time) it was 55 and 213.

Might have to invest in one of those heart monitor thingies.

In 1990 when I was the fittest I ever was, and will probably ever be, resting was 38. I can't remember my max, all I remember from those tests( VO2 max etc) was a thermometer up the arse for core body temp. :shock:

LOL year I remember being impressed myself at the time. Especially as it was around the time Big Mig revealed his 28 bpm. One of my heroes, Phil Anderson, only ever had a resting rate of low 40's. Actually it isn't as accurate as a fitness indicator as first thought becuse you have to look at the range attainable by each person. That 207 was a one off and most of the time could only manage about 195-197. So if you look at that spread it isn't out of the normal. Put it this way my heart going at 120 bpm is further away from rest than some one who has a resting rate of 45.

I feel tired now I going to lay down under my desk.

A while ago I had a pretty slow heart rate, all the time... I cant rememebr the figures but resting rate was about 35/40ish, not sure of the max.

Of course I was alot fitter and les stressed then :p Now I am hazard a guess and say resting rate 45 to 50.

Not sure what it'll be now, I should monitor it more!

I'm a fat bugger with RHR around 65. My max at the moment is 213 after the finishing sprint at a criterium at METEC.

Just remember that having the lowest RHR and highest MHR doesn't mean a lot by itself. It is better to be able to operate at a high power output with a lower HR than your competitors (i.e. more efficient) than to push all the way to your max, blow and then fade out of the race. This, of course, assumes you are racing XC and not track sprinting!

MHR is determined by genetics and age, not so much fitness. Oh, and the abililty to endure pain to GET to your max :)

RHR will also be raised if you are currently training and are not well rested from a session, say, the night before. RHR will often rise (sometimes lower) just before you get sick too.
