Square Wheels Posted July 18, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 18, 2015 That a fat 51 year old man can get their heart rate up to 190. That hurts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrAzY Posted July 18, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 18, 2015 I have seen higher from fat 51+ year old men... I see you have not been giving it your best again... if you want to settle for being middle of the road thats fine... I just would not bitch about the pain until you really do some damage to yourself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted July 18, 2015 Share #3 Posted July 18, 2015 Check your heart rate monitor. If it's calibrated in kilometers instead of miles then your heart rate was only 190 x .62, or only ~118. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted July 18, 2015 Share #4 Posted July 18, 2015 Try a stress test and have the doc let you try to beat your max previous effort. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's calibrated in kilometers instead of miles then your heart rate was only 190 x .62, or only ~118.Kinda like that NASA Mars probe a few years ago. Orbital guys needed 10mps, the interplanetary guys gave them 10kps. Crash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted July 19, 2015 Share #6 Posted July 19, 2015 My doctor told me that was not a bad thing that my heart rate would go higher than most people my age. I asked him about it because they have a computerized bike at the gym that has rides with brutal hills. I was regularly seeing heart rates of 185 to 188.

Former member Posted July 19, 2015 Share #7 Posted July 19, 2015 Good for you. You were pushing yourself past what you thought was possible, and you are able to tell us about it. You are probably far more fit than the average guy your age. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted July 19, 2015 Share #8 Posted July 19, 2015 So I wonder how close to death you came? Maybe you voided your warranty, but it is probably not good for 51 years anyhoo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted July 19, 2015 Share #9 Posted July 19, 2015 I think you should change your wheelset, duplicate the ride, and report back on how much the heart rate number changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
