Pretty similar, although I'm now 40 so a bit below. Generally racing between 170-180bpm. Top end of that used to blow me up but all the threshold work means I can recover even going slightly over the 180 now and sit around it for long-ish periods. End sprints still hitting towards and over 190 but utter blowout/finale only.
It will, but you might even find it goes higher! The riding you do and the type of it will can really determine what you consider your 'max' to be.
Fairly new to turbo riding I used to blow up at much over 175bpm when I was around 32/33. Several years later with good fitness and outside riding it was 180bpm with anything over 170bpm being pretty hard. Still the same now (like late last summer) when switching from lots of outside riding to inside. Then generally as I get conditioned to the threshold 'work' of TTT'ing and racing I find myself able to sit at those 'max' and just able to peak higher.
I was always told a healthy heart isn't one which goes high, or low, but one with a wide range that can quickly go up & down - a low resting HR is just a sign of your body being efficient. Some real Endurance athletes are known for having really low HR's, but you'll usually find the Pro cyclists that do, can still peak pretty high.
We've discussed it here before loads of times. I think (my opinion) generally is that it's an estimate for someone fairly 'new' to fitness to use as a rough figure for their max, until they've increased in fitness. Maybe even use it as a guideline, but once you get into using HR when training you'll really establish your own zones and how your HR 'operates'.
For my 220-40 = 180. That's not my max. I've seen 196bpm in the last 6 months. But 180bpm is really where things start to get pretty uncomfortable and if I push much over that I will at the point of not being able to recover it without totally stopping or at least easing off a huge amount. If I want to continue the effort, or put a bigger one in (sprint) then it's best I'm below 180bpm to be able to...
I do recall seeing over 200bpm once or twice in my early years of low fitness when I utterly destroyed myself doing intervals. There are times now I've made myself feel a bit 'off' from efforts for a while afterwards. But not too many times and not something I generally set out to do. My HR from these times is really no higher than other times I've sprinted and felt nothing untoward. I can go deep enough to make myself sick doing Zwift TTT's, that's 'hard' enough for me!
They look awesome, she did a great job! Need a bunch of more before and after pics!Been pestering my wife for ages for her to do me some nice custom cycling stuff so she's been investigating repair and painting of shoes over the last few months and after some practise has come up with these for me!
Few more pics on the instagram page too, can see the state of them before! If anyone is interested in having some done mention my username and she'll sort you out.
