How long can you maintain Heart rate Max?

once you go anaerobic tho' date=' you wont be able to keep it there for 16 mins

WHAT trash are you talking....you can sit for three hours in anaerobic if you really need to.....not max but over lactate threshold. When you TT you are the entire way basically in anaerobic!!!

I'm trying to post the graph...

Daxiet, no misreading on Polar as I've got the heart rate files following a clear pattern.

Fandacious, 215-220 seems a bit high but understand what you mean.

anaerobic = oxygen deficit = beyond LT. you cant ride for very long beyond LT because your body cant convert glycogen fast enough

 

but by all mean... go do a TT anaerobic

Old man.

 

I wonder what says about me then, my MHR is 179 and I'm a whole 20 and 3/4s. Maybe its a case of Benjiman Buttonitis ???

[Tankman]

maybe you have a small heart that needs to work faster!

 

206 seems excessive, my max is 196 and im 30.

 

 

 

I cant hold above 190bpm for much longer than 3-4min but 180 much much longer.

" These exercises can be performed only at submaximal efforts (up to about 90 per cent). A 90 per cent effort can be sustained for a maximum of two or three minutes."

[MCDreyer]

Oh, the interesting thing is when I do the Polar fitness test, my VO2MAX is 63 and predicted HR Max normally 184.

 

Strange but I've had 3 Polars to date and all recording more or less the same pattern.

... i was off with a minute! or fit!

... i was off with a minute! or fit!

 

i've done up to 8minutes @ 92-94% before, but you are pretty poked after that.

 

also, to difference from 92% and 94% is huuuge. 94% feels much harder than 92%. especialy after 3 or 4 minutes

"submaximal effort, not anaerobic!!"

 

there's a huge difference between lactate threshold = when you go into anaerobic and maximum!!

 

I sat an hour over my Lactate threshold in a race saturday....I TT over my lactate threshold....don't you???

 

Maybe I'm just really good at vastbyting then

 

And I've had different people do the tests with exactly the same results so  170bpm is definitely my lactate threshold.

Aggree with Fand.

 

I have been able to hold 85-95% rate over 2 hours, but over 95% and it's tickets in ta few minutes.

 

I am 28. my max is 175.

I am currently on a programme where I need to in some weeks do spend between 30 and 50 min in the Anaerobic (Lactate Threshold Zone), so its possible

Vomiting stuff, but possible yes

as for your max, get it tested and you'll be 100% sure of what you are doing and how hard you actually working

yup - you can sit *at* LT for hours, but once you past LT (anaerobic) you can only do it for short bursts

if you're riding at LT, you can do it for hours. once you go PAST LT, you wont be able to keep it up for more than a few minutes

This Graph is contradictory to the text though and swings the anaerobic to the 80% zone

it depends on fitness. unfit people will go anaerobic at 80% or thereabouts. the fitter you are, the higher the turning point
