Maybe this will workhttp://www.digifit.com/heartratezones/maximum-heart-rate.asp?Age=36#table . It has a calculator as well for heartrate zones ect.

Thanx Corrie, the info is really helping

Your heart rate can be loosely analogous to the revs on a car. The higher the HR, the more revs the engine is doing, but not necessarily going any faster.

 

Training in each of the zones accomplishes a different task. Lower HR work is for building a base and developing the long-distance grunt. Higher HR work is for faster, more intense sections.
