NordicElf Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 For those with heart rate monitors what are your average heart rates % during a race? And what sort of level /seeding / time are you at/do you do?
Pall Catt Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I averaged 167bpm at 947 this Sunday but I did quite a lot of training and rode pretty hard that day. This is about 88% of my max. I started from C batch and rode a 2h34. Usually its slightly lower, around 84%.
Honkdonk Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I averaged 149bpm on Sundays 947. Started from D and did a 2h49. Max HR was 167.
NordicElf Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 Hmmm I didn't race that hard although I've been doing a lot of base, been hitting 14 hours a week the last couple of weeks. My heart rate average was 84% and my max was 97% for the 947 this Sunday. I did 4:10 was seeded in II but started in W (corporate bond). I didn't taper, I'm training for an endurance ride. Given that I didn't feel like I raced that hard... I thought maybe those numbers seemed a little high... Got me wondering what everyone else did...
IceCreamMan Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Average heart rate was 129....did a 3:20....rest heart rate is around 40 and max is around 156 on the bike.... so around 75% of max as an average. I am 50 and have a relatively low heart rate although not due to be really fit or anything. I also reckon the conditions were harsh thus the ticker had to work a lil harder than normal to cope with them
Paulst12 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Average 141... max 177 (Joe Slovo) and clocked 2:28Recent MTB race I had an ave of 164 and max of 186 ... same it on the bike... says it all?

Slakkepas Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 947 max was 181 with ave of 162 Didn't get my tapering right so legs was a bit pap for the race. Ended up with 2h55 from E. I do all my interval training on a IDT and have found it very difficult to get my HR to 170 on the trainer but on the bike on race day average of 165-170 not a problem. Friend of myne, same age, same fitness level will be at a HR of 155 when I`m at 165. So HR figures are very personal and can be very different from person to person.
NordicElf Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 So HR figures are very personal and can be very different from person to person. Yeah, that's why I was asking for a percentage of max for the race. I have a friend 20 years older than me and when we go up hills together we hit the exact same percentage but hers is obviously 20 beats lower than mine. Interestingly my cadence will be about 20 rpms faster than hers but we'll both be at the same HR% of Max. My thinking is % of Max might be the leveller?
Spinnekop Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Is that your max heart rate or was that your max for the race? That is in general my max. Max for the race was 184

You're lazy on your road bike? Haha! Not that I think 2:28 is ever going to be lazy! I think I should have asked for perceived effort in my original post.
Mongoose! Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 max heart rate = what ever it takes to stay with the bunch when attacking Sunday - 186 max ave 167seeded VC2h28 The old "toppies" above 40 still ride like hell
RyanAW Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 For 94.7:max 195 (95%)ave 178 (87%) Was a bit sick though, so these numbers are higher than normal. Did 2:45 from A batch. Resting HR is about 45bpm
