Max HR in My-e-training "Training Test"

[chris.minto]

The activity that takes place in the Training Test seems to all be based on the HR zones that are set up in the "Parameters" section - this is based on your Max HR which is just a text entry. This then affects the target HR for the training test when it ramps up the power.

Although I don't have to hand my Max HR as I don't generally train with a HRM, I find that the 220-age gives a number that is too low and the training is too easy.

Is there any advice on finding the max HR or establishing the right zones?

You must test your max heart rate with indoor trainer.
Thats only way to get correct results.
What trainer you use? Have your trainer got an erg mode or dummy trainer?

Of course the standard formula (220-age) is very generic and not accurate.
You can change manually the value, but we strongly suggest to do it after consulting a doctor, that will help you calculate your own max frequency rate.
