Boy, I'm just tickled to death. I've been trying to run alot more because I'm going to run a marathon in March with a friend from Tampa. I think I got myself into something bad. It is the Gasparilla weekend and it is the last race ever. Friends and family....you must come to this parade. Oh my I can't describe this event to you. Totally crazy!!
Anyway, reason for my posting is that I have hit an all time high for MAX HEART RATE during training. 190BPM!! In all the cycling and running that I have done over the years, I have only reached 188 has an high. I was about to pass out climbing a mountain at 188BPM, but today I maintained this for a solid 2 minutes.
Which makes me wonder, can you increase your MAX HEART HEART??? Does it fluctuate or stay about the same your entire life? I know your able to decrease the lactate acid buildup and sustain a longer run or cycle for a longer period.
Do you think I could of had a incorrect MHR from the beginning. I remember my brother and I talking about MHR years ago and how extremely important this number is to a person in training. It tells it all.
So, the question now lies, what is my MHR?? 192 or 195?? I'm guessing 192, because I wasn't about to pass out, but lactate acid was building quickly in my legs....couldn't hold it much longer.
Anyway, this is exciting for me because I have always thought 188BPM was, "the number."

Thank you Emma. Good information to know.
Actually son, Your max goes down with each year you grow older. A normal part of growing up. You are doing just fine now though. You have not got half way thru yet. Dad
Anytime you want to run together just let me know. I'll slow down for you if you ever need too. "Next mailbox adam..come on..you can do it..ok next one."
