Maximum Heartrate

For the next phase in my training program for the Monaco Ironman, I need to find out my maximum heartrate for swimming, cycling and running.

As I was in New Zealand last week for a friend's wedding, I decided to find out my max HR for running, as there are great hills there that we do not have in Amsterdam.

I ran 5km up a steady incline, then straight up one of the steepest hills on my parents' farm until I could go no further.

I had a max HR of 192 beats per minute (which I counted while lying on my back after reaching my limit!)

It was great to visit home and touch base. Mum and Dad's cat Barry was happy to see me...
