I have had a heart rate mnitor for wuite some time and have a vague idea as to my max...but never tested it... 
I want to use heart rate to help with my next phase of training... 
I have seen quite a few articles that explain different methods of determining the maximum heart rate. 
Suggestions? 
How did you test yours?

lots of good info on hup's thread: <a href="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17924&highlight=heart+rate+maximum" target="_blank">http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/sho...t+rate+maximum</a> 
i'd go for your average hr during a 10k and then divide by .9
