I'm still having a hard time nailing down my max HR. The highest I can get it on the Peleton is like 174 to 175 which would correlate with the aged based formulas. But when I go all out on and erg without a monitor and do a finger on the neck pulse check it seems more like 190 to 193.
With a max of, say, 175, 130 BPM should be 70% give or take for Zone 2. But when I'm at 140 or 145 this feels closer to Zone 2 in terms of perceived efforts and it's a level of effort I can hold for well over an hour.
