I’d like to see how out of shape I am relative to you hard cores.
28, RHR 48, MHR 212
In case you want more info, I race at 150-162 on the bike and 158-170 on the run for an IM, slightly higher for a half-IM. I don’t pay attention or even wear my HRM for anything shorter.
37yo… RHR 32bpm…don’t know my max, as I have not been there in a loooong time! My RHR actually got down to 28-29 a few yrs ago. I went to the cardiologist for an Echo because I was having what I thought was an unusually hard time staying awake while studying(Med school)…turns out I have a fairly large SV…SV x HR=CO. I guess I was just tired…

I’m becoming a huge believer in using HRMs. I didn’t used to, now I do. I have become religious about obeying it. I went out ran for 2 hours below 70 percent Max, and I went to church, work, and then biked that night. Just committed to stay way below 70 percent. Went out and did intervals today, and I didn’t quit half way through it.
No telling how long I was running 80 percent one day before I did repeats and quit because I was running 80 percent the day before.
The problem is I can’t tell what I’m doing on RPE until five minutes after I start checking distances.
There was a couple big threads about this a few weeks ago, you should search for them.
I read that but it didn’t ask for numbers from everyone.

42 rhr

Let me ask this…this also wasn’t in that earlier thread last week, but I’m like this on the run:
I am 42. My RHR is 50, my Max is 189. I went out for an AeT run at < 140. During a 5k, I can get right up there to 85% at 173 BPM in a matter of 3 minutes.
However, On the bike the next day, I’m 131 BPM and that’s hard on my quads and hip flexors and I am about to run out of gas PDQ. I can do 45 seconds of sprinting out of the saddle and get it up to 145 BPM, but it will go right back down to 121 in a few minutes. To get my bike BPMs up to run would be mind boggling. I don’t think I’ve ever seen 180’s on my bike.
Without sprinting in the big ring, I can’t even get my BPM up to 160. In a normal 19-20 mph pace, I’m 126-130. To sprint at 140 on the bike, there’s just no way I could do that for more than 5-6 minutes.
Why is my heart rate range on the bike lower relatively than the bike, and should I treat my HR on the bike like I do the run.

I am not sure what the answer to this is, but I am exactly the same way and have always wanted to know why. MY heart rate goes up immediatly when I start to run where as when I am on the bike it’s very controlled. Does anyone have insight? Coaches?
My 2 cents…more time on the bike may help this. Also, sounds as though you are “mashing” not spinning. The mashing (low rpm’s) will hurt the quads…spinning (high rpm’s) will raise the heart rate. There is a happy medium between mashing and spinning and is different for everyone. Try spinning a higher RPM and maybe you’ll see a higher heart rate and less quad pain.
This is a fun post.

I’ve never been tested for MHR or VO2 max, but believe the MHR to be fairly accurate. I’ve never been able to achieve anything over 95% (172ish)
Swimming MHR < Biking MHR < Running MHR.
Mostly this comes from the way you support your body. Because when swimming, the water supports your weight totally (unless you are a born sinker), so gravity is not pulling on you (well, it is, but the water is counteracting). Plus, you are laying down, so your body doesn’t have to fight gravity to pump blood.
On the bike, the bike supports much of your weight, but you still have to actively support your body somewhat. And your body now has to pump blood against gravity.
Running, you have to totally support your own weight and pump blood against gravity.
So to get to the answer of the question, basically, it is difficult to exert enough load on your body when biking via muscular effort to push your heart rate to the same level as when running at the same level of muscular effort.
Think of it this way: MHR Run - MHR Bike = Amount of work to push your blood around. (this is obviously not exact, but representative of the idea).
You would see a similar difference (percentage wise) in RHR lying down, seated, and standing…
My age is 56 and my resting heartrate during the day is 59-60. I have never measured it first thing in the morning; I assume that is my resting rate? My maximum is 183. Don.
32, resting is in the 30’s(have never really pin-pointed exact), highest max I have seen on a HRM is 206…(t/t average is 190’s).

Most people run 10-20 beats above where they bike. Since I started as a runner, it’s taken me a couple years to get comfortable really pushing it (intervals at 85 percent of max) on the bike and I still have far to go esp. on flat ground. How much do you bike?
Age = 37
RHR= 41
MHR = 183 (calculated by formula; never actually measured)
When running, I often have the issue of running my HR up past AeT and to 157 to 160. Once I cross 160 I have trouble getting into a groove back in the lower 150’s. I can walk and bring it down, but as soon as I start running it finds that 160+ point.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice?
