Depends a little on age too WhortyFlip!!! HR over 180? I thought I was pushing it hitting 175 and that exhausted me. How do you manage to push to 180 and not vom?Or pass out?
I'm 46 nudging 47 ... I'm guessing @Monte is a similar age .... most on here seem to be getting on a bitDepends a little on age too Whorty
True, but @Monte is definitely old enough to know better than to hit 180bpmDepends a little on age too Whorty
Widdersbel, when I joined Bkool, I pottered around for a few months thinking I was okay. I then joined cyclechat leagues. One phrase, ‘dumb founded‘. I couldn't believe the pace and speed the others had over me. I wasn't able to start as fast, I would get destroyed on anything but downhills. Keep at it, and you will be surprised how quickly you become stronger and faster.

Maxed out @ 184 bpm tonight - best I've ever done was 187...
I averaged 172 for the ride

I'm 45 but can barely get above 170 and usually average between 140 & 155 for a turbo ride. I'm obviously not trying hard enough

At what point should you start to worry?
At 56 rushing towards 57 and someone who has heart disease I'm just happy to have a heart rate.
Edit: Beat me to it Bazzer
Having heart stents fitted and taking up indoor cycling has re-invented my life.
I spent too many years after my first angina attack (as I subsequently found out that's what it was) just being careful not to overdo anything.
At the time we had a drug dealer living behind us who we often had verbal battles with.
I lived in constant fear of what might happen if it developed into something more physical.
Shame he was moved on before I got my heart fit again!
Edit: But life is a lot better now he has gone.

I'm not sure where they get the base from but under your profile there is a heart rate zone chart. It is not based on age because I'll be joining Jonbon and Goldwolfie in 3 monthsAt what point should you start to worry?
