It goes down with the check is in the mail as a myth or at least a **** poor measure for about 95% of athletes. And this one's even more wrong for me - almost 30bpm too low, rather than 20bpm too low. At least the 220-age hits my approximate LT bpm. This one's in my subLT range. And I've been using the same HRmax and training zone numbers for almost 9 yrs. That formula has always been wrong for me, too. I've been retired for over 15 years, but when I was still working I had periodic physicals that sometimes included a bicycle or treadmill stress test. I nearly always topped out at 162 bpm; the formula would have called for over 170 at the beginning with a drop to the mid-150s by the last test. As I typed this I counted about 52 bpm and my dozing count is normally in the mid-30s. Some people just don't fit formulas. Somebody should send NYTimes a copy of Roberg's paper. -- Don Kirkman |
