Seems a bit pointless to separate 210 + 4. As this appears to be the same formula as the one below then the missing link between the 210 and the 4 is that this formula is gender specific: 210 minus 50% of your age minus 5% of your body weight (pounds) + 4 if male and 0 if female = Estimated Maximum heart rate. |

Some correlation for a population probably, but near usless for an individual. The only way to find out what max HR is is to induce it. How do you induce max heart rate, without finding out it won't go _that_ fast and having the rate abruptly return to zero? Pete |

You know, that fist-sized red thing that pumps blood around your body. Just in case you weren't sure. -- Linux Registered User # 302622 http://counter.li.org |

Ideally, you want to be warmed up. A good way of doing it is to do several short sprints up a hill after a good warm up. By the fifth or six sprint, your heart rate should get up there. Running up hill sprints should also get your heart up pretty high up there. Getting your heart rate truly high is a pain in the ass and I don't enjoy it that much. You should aim at getting dry heaves, or even barfing. When I was younger I would do sprint repeats once a weak. It was awful. Andres |
