60y, 166cm and 80kg. I'm not fat, just well-built LOL! Cruising at around 5:30/km on the flat I'm around 130 to 135.
10bpm difference can be quite significant depending on your physiology. I have a resting HR around 47 and max around 167 (does not follow 220-age) so HRR is 120. That means when I'm running my sub-23min 5km I'm nearly at 88% HRRmax (slightly over 91% HRmax).
What you need to do is to work out what works for you.
Trust me I’m a doctor!
Well, I have a PhD :-)
