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

I just got back to checking this post....so, now I am really confused....<br><br>
Can I even find my MAX....since I am in training mode all the time?<br><br>
Will it be too difficult to get it up there?<img alt="uhoh2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/uhoh2.gif"><br><br>
I use my VDOT to determine my training pace....<br><br>
SO, I guess..the real question is....which is the best way to train?
